Book of Lieh-Tzu
by Liezi
'Book of Lieh-Tzu' Summary
The Book of Lieh-Tzu, attributed to Liezi, is a collection of philosophical parables, anecdotes, and stories exploring Daoist themes of nature, transcendence, and the pursuit of spiritual enlightenment. Composed in a whimsical and often humorous style, the book presents insights into the nature of reality, the importance of living in harmony with the Tao, and the ephemeral nature of human existence. It explores the concept of immortality, the power of detachment, and the virtues of humility and compassion, interwoven with mythical tales and encounters with legendary figures. The work offers a unique perspective on Daoist philosophy, contrasting with the more austere and abstract writings of Zhuangzi.Book Details
