[soc.religion.eastern] Morality and Taoism

wants a moral guide, read Chuang tze Inner Chapters..You will have to figure
out the morals on your own, but the book is good because it relates Taoist
principles in stories rather than in condensed poetry like Lao Tze.
Chuang Tze is considered a contemporary of Lao Tze, if you want to know

Actually Chuang Tzu lived several centuries _after_ Lao Tzu, but was 
instrumental in popularizing Taoist teachings.  The Jane French/Gia 
Fu-Feng translation of the Inner Chapters is a good one.  Other good 
translations of Chuang Tzu have been done by Berton Watson and Thomas 
Merton.
