It might be helpful to read the introduction for this work, because it explains why Fraser included and ordered the texts in the book. Also, read along with a finger in the Notes in the back because the historical references will helpful.

Oh very cool, I'll make sure to follow along your Zhuangzi reading, I've tried to dip my toes in before without much success.

I’ve been curious about Taoism for a long time…specifically after I read the quote …something like “The name that can be named is not the eternal name.” Totally looking forward to this read along.

enjoy! as taoists we are always happy to see those who know there’s more than just ttc. we respect “Laoists” as we call them hehe. but to see people branching out beyond Lao into the wider world of tao is always exciting

(im studying the Neiye presently. taoist text on internal energy!

im also rereading ttc book two. a poem a day, alongside one teaching of Jesus and a psalm)

Very cool reading selection. If we don't have the Oxford but a different translation is that ok? Mine might take a while to arrive.

It’s fine to follow along with another translation — it just might get confusing if they change the chapters or something, which can happen.

I could order it from Kindle and get it instantly, or perhaps I can find a PDF. I used the Kindle for expensive works that are out of print, but I stopped after seeing your video on Amazon.
