Approximately four million Americans claim to be Buddhist. Moreover, hundreds of thousands of Americans of various faiths read about Buddhism, are interested in its philosophical tenets, or fashionably view themselves as Buddhists.

Den klassisk kinesiske visdomsbog "Daode jing" fra 500 år f.v.t. er en rå og æggende, modsigelsesfuld og samtidig krystalklar beskrivelse af kunsten at leve livet. I 2500 år har den udfordret og henrykket læsere. Den er desuden et af de vigtigste kildeskrifter for daoismen. Ny, revideret oversættelse af Hugo Hørlych Karlsen.

Our minds are rebellious. The mind exists as though it has a mind of its own. Once you try to control the mind, it repels our efforts in ways that we cannot understand. Consequently, through meditation, this can be solved. Looking at the bigger picture, meditation not only helps in learning how to control the mind. It also assists in helping people take control of their lives. Frankly, we all seek happiness in this life. However, we are often confused with the direction that we ought to take. This happens because there is a lot that we have to deal with.
