Lao Tse no fundo ninguna escuela. No sintio el deseo ni la necesidad de hacerlo, porque no tenia la intencion de difundir una doctrina. Vislumbro las grandes conexiones universales, y vertio dificultosamente lo visto en palabras, dejando a otros espiritus afines de epocas posteriores la tarea de seguir sus indicaciones y de contemplar por si mismos el conjunto del mundo y las verdades que el descubrio. Lo cierto es que en todos los tiempos han existido pensadores capaces de elevar su vision por encima de los fenomenos pasajeros de la vida humana hacia el eterno sentido del proceso cosmico, cuya grandeza desafia toda conceptualizacion. Esta version de Tao Te King, fielmente traducida y comentada por Richard Wilhelm, pone al alcance del lector contemporaneo el mensaje atemporal de Lao Tse. Quiera el Tao que en ella encuentren la paz y el alivio que resultan de restarle importancia a la seriedad de la vida, una seriedad que carece de valor esencial intrinseco. / Lao Tse did not found any school. Did not feel the need nor the desire to do so, because it did not intend to spread any doctrine. He discerned the great universal connections, and poured labouriously what he had seen into words, leaving other spirits of later times  the task of continuing his directions and to see for themselves the whole world and the truths he discovered. The truth is that in all times there have been thinkers capable of raising their vision over the phenomenon of human life to the eternal sense of the cosmic process, whose greatness defy conceptualization. This version of the Tao Te King, finally translated with commentaries by Richard Wilhelm, puts at the scope of the contemporary reader timeless message of Lao Tse. Tao wants to find peace in it and the relief arising from the importance of the seriousness of life, one seriously lacking essential intrinsic value.
