Hi All, I'm happy to be here! I have been interested in different wisdom teachings all of my life. The DDJ sa always been close to my heart. After all these years, I can still pick it up and discover something new. I'm interested in Advaita, Zen, Daoism, and basically any teaching that points to the truth.

Thank you for all of the welcomes and notes on the rules. I can actually read Chinese and I took enough classical Chinese that I can get by, but I still use translations. I wouldn't say I have a favorite though-it seems like the best ones I still feel like almost get it right. Having said that, I most often use this translation because it's actually five translations together with the Chinese: Tao Te Ching in Translation Basically, I read the Chinese until I get stuck and then I go through all of the translations just to get a sense of what I'm missing, if that makes sense.
