Reading the Tao Te Ching right now. Kind of disappointed. Any advice for how to approach/appreciate it?

@KevinSimler http://www.duhtao.com/ is a good site; it has a bunch of different translations and you can compare passages.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@KevinSimler Nice thing about the Daodejing is it's so short, if you don't like a translation at least it hasn't wasted much of your time.1 reply 0 retweets 3 likes -

@KevinSimler But as a translation I really like CC Tsai's; cartooning is the correct context to initially encounter the text.2 replies 0 retweets 2 likes -

@KevinSimler Probably! It's a classic. Same author has done a lot of the Chinese canon in manhua style.1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes
