Source Material for Profound Accordance

Red Pine’s composite recension of the Standard and Ma-Wang-Tui texts takes into account the vast majority of the surviving editions, while Robert G. Henricks’ publication of the Ma-Wang-Tui find examines the oldest known manuscripts in depth. The present author draws from both of these sources in translating Lao Tzu’s Tao Te Ching into English for Profound Accordance.
