Lao Tzu's Work

(above is "Tao Te Ching" written in calligraphy)
Lao Tzu wrote the book Tao Te Ching, the central book of Taoism. The book is written in poetry in 81 chapters making the book relatively short. In the book Lao Tzu speaks of a mysterious thing called the Tao that has no name but when Lao Tzu is forced to name it, he calls it Tao. The Tao can never been sensed with any of the 5 senses and is perfect and forever.
