Amazon.com Review
With this edition of the Tao Te Ching, an unlikely team of a Japanese art expert and a Greek translator pull off a uniquely powerful version of the text. If one thing marks the language of the original Tao Te Ching, it is linguistic spareness. Stephen Addiss and Stanley Lombardo are the first to succeed in duplicating the language in English, and although their search for just the right word occasionally goes far afield, they are mostly successful. The effect can be quite liberating as the full ambiguity of meaning comes through and you are afforded the freedom to interpret in a variety of ways. The translators also enhance the atmosphere of the book with Addiss's expressive calligraphy and the two lines in the original Chinese that are retained in each chapter. Addiss and Lombardo's rendering of the Tao Te Ching gets you right down into the primary source, and from there you're free to wander where you will.
Product Description
Deftly introduced and enriched by the remarkable ink paintings of Stephen Addiss, this new translation of Tao Te Ching captures the terse and enigmatic beauty of the ancient original while resisting the tendency toward interpretive paraphrase found in many other editions. Along with the translation of the complete work, Lombardo and Addiss provide the reader with a measure of interaction with the Chinese text found in no other edition, by furnishing one or more key lines from the original Chinese for each of the eighty-one sections, together with a transliteration of the Chinese characters. The appearance and sounds of the Chinese character displayed, enhance the reader's appreciation of how the Chinese text works and feels and the many different ways it can be translated into English.

 Teaches without speaking July 26, 2010
HongMei
"Moves without teaching." This translation appears in the Section 2.
But the true meaning in the original text is "Teaches without speaking." This is no doubt.
 Simplicity... June 3, 2010

This translations really feels Like Im reading Lao Tzu in English, rather than a translator trying to be poetic.
This is a great translation for those on the Path, I do not recommend this book to people who do not like to change and are stagnant since "Taoism" is an ego-bypass generator.
I also Highly Recommend those interested in Zen, Taoism, and the Middle-Grey Path
"Chuang Tz" THomas Merton, and "The Spiritual Journey of Alejandro Jodorowsky"
Absolutely excellent February 12, 2010
Kevin Hutchinson (Puerto Escondido, Mexico)
This is the best English langauge translation of the Tao Te Ching that I've ever experienced. An example of its quality is the oh-so-succinct translation "Is and Isn't produce each other" - how wonderful! And I love the inclusion of Japanese caligraphy too. A real treat!
Wonderful version!!! December 23, 2009

I read this book because other reviewers touted it highly. I ordered a copy and it had a minor printing error in Chapter 76 but nothing so bad that I had to return it, so you may want to check your copy for printing errors.
As for the translation itself it is very lucid. The translators use very few words so that the text reads much like the original Chinese which is almost like a telegram. I have read several versions of the TTC and most are creative interpretations of the words. This is a much more literal translation. There is no commentary in the book like Derek Lin's TTC Tao Te Ching (Skylight Illuminations) but it is very easy to understand most of the book at face value. However there are a few chapters that one has to have a gentle approach with. Chapter 71 especially, at first, seemed very cryptic. But with the help of the Chinese characters written on the side of the page I was able to find what it meant with the help of an online Chinese translator. Most of the book is very smooth and I tend to read the Tao Te Ching in a meditative sort of way. I don't try to penetrate the text with my reason, rather, I read it very lightly so that when I face a new situation in my life the words pop up in my head and I can instantly relate to what Lao Tzu was saying.
If you're looking for a good translation without a lot of the interpretations of the translator pick up this volume. Prof. Watson's introduction is also worth reading, though it was written 17 years ago so there is a lot more accurate understanding of ancient China now which might contradict some of his ideas. The calligraphy by Prof. Addiss was also appealing. I think the best parts of the book were the characters in Chinese for the more difficult or important lines in the text. They helped flesh out some of the more cryptic passages. Since I am not proficient in Chinese I relied on these snippets for extra understanding. The interpreters also used gender neutral language which helped make it a more universal text.
I am a huge fan of Taoism and I think it's important to read many of the translations of this book as well as the Chuang Tzu to get a feel for the ideas behind the Taoist worldview. Ultimately though these books should lead one away from reading and out into the world (the woods, the city or wherever) with a subtle understanding of how to approach life. Books can only do so much before one needs to learn about the Tao in action.
I also recommend this version of the Chuang Tzu because it is the most recent, has a good introduction and is the full work which I have reviewed elsewhere: Zhuangzi (Longman Library of Primary Sources in Philosophy)
Happy Reading!!!
A Beautifully Designed Book full Of Wisdom (from Ahadada Books) May 18, 2008
M. Hori (Urayasu, Chiba Japan)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a beautifully designed book with a limpid translation by Stephen Addiss and Stanley Lombardo. Here's one of my favorites:
11
Thirty spokes join one hub.
The wheel's use comes from emptiness.
Clay is fired to make a pot.
The pot's use comes from emptiness.
Windows and doors are cut to make a room.
The room's use comes from emptiness.
Therefore,
Having leads to profit,
Not having leads to use.
Not only is there wisdom on every page, but Burton Watson's introduction gives an informative context for both Lao Tzu, the eponymous creator of this text, and the times in which this book and the more lively, albeit less mystical Chuang Tzu arose.
In addition, the translators explain a bit about Chinese ideograms and a phrase taken from each poem is included in old Chinese characters next to each text in English, thereby giving a taste of the compression--the pithiness--of the original.
This is indeed a wonderful book: nice to hold in the hand, just the right size to carry into the woods for some meditation by a stream, and perfect for a gift to a friend.
The only criticism I have of this volume concerns the ink paintings done by Mr. Addiss; they are somewhat less than impressive, and perhaps the volume would have been better served with better examples.
I'm happy to say that my copy is a gift from my friend Burton Watson, and includes his signature in the front.
