The Way of Chuang Tzu

by Thomas Merton

About this title: Chuang Tzu considered, along with Lao Tzu, one of the great figures of early Taoist thought used parables and anecdotes, allegory, and paradox to illustrate that real happiness and freedom are found only in understanding the Tao or Way of nature, and dwelling in its unity. Thomas Mertons collection of poetic renderings taken from the Chinese classic that bears Chuang Tzus name conveys its spirit in a way no other translation has and was Mertons personal favourite among his more than fifty books.

Note: This is a general synopsis. Each listing is described below.

"a reference book on my shelf, which I return to again and again. Chuang Tzu illustrates the way with fables rather than epigrams. More approachable than Lao Tzu, thought some stories can be as enigmatic as truisms. Not a book to read through cover to cover in one sitting, but rather a book to leave around, and pick a page at random whenever guidance is needed."

By Jake, The United States

"I spent a couple of years reading and re-reading this book. I found some real truth in the deliberateness of Chuang Tzu - more so than with Lao Tzu. His writing (hopefully his articulateness is not too deeply a reflection of Merton's) contains elements of the ubiquitous human stench that is too often left out of prettier works. He didn't turn away from the human condition and smooth over the roughness of the journey. He sat squarely, naked, in wet mud and banged his drum with glee. I felt so strongly about this book I tore it into shreds and dumped it in the garbage. I would have given this book six stars, but never five."
