My favorite translation is this one: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0877733880?ie=UTF8&tag=sbriansmithco-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0877733880" rel="nofollow">Tao Te Ching</a>. Taoism, in my opinion, is a great study prior to Zen Buddhism. Taoism was never a "practical" philosophy, mainly being followed by old men after they had lived their lives. Zen is a practical and, in my opinion, fun philosophy. After reading the Tao Te Ching, start reading up on Zen Buddhism.

Anyway, I'm having a 'religious study' phase and have just read about Hindu's and yesterday about Buddhism, have you got any good recommendations for learning more about Tao? Hey Brian,
