Lao Zi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Lao Tzu)
Lao Zi (老子 Lǎozi, also written Lao Tsu) was one of the most famous Chinese philosophers, although it is not confirmed if he was actually a single person, or if the ideas associated with Lao Zi were actually those of several different people. As a result, his birth date is unknown. He was the author of a book called Tao Te Ching (道德經). According to this book, Tao ("the Way") does not change and it is the universal truth. His Taoism has been enormously influential in China. Lao Zi is also known as Senior Lord in Taoism (or Daoism) of the general public. The Chinese name Lao Zi is translated as "Old Master" in English.
