Tao Te Ching

By: Lao Tzu

Narrated by: Alfred Costa

The Tao Te Ching is a Taoist philosophical treatise. Lao Tzu, a great Ancient Chinese philosopher and teacher, is considered to be the author of this book. We owe this book to an unnamed guardian who kept safe the far western borders of a country, Zhou in the fifth century BC. The legend says that exhausted from misunderstanding Teacher with a tired heart went on his last journey - to die in a dessert.

The guardian recognized great Lao Tzu, called him by name and, nobody knows how, persuaded the wise man to tell a world about Dao and De. "When you said Dao, you said nothing", the teacher replied. And you were wrong: five thousand words, that contains this book, have been existing for two and a half thousand years...

Dao De Jing = Correct Pronunciation

it was annoying that the Tao was mispronounced throughout the entire reading.
The essential teaching is the same of course but this was an unforgivable error by the narrator.

Sorry, but the narration sounded like a voicebot.

Seriously, the narrator could just as well have been AI. Fortunately I also have the book, where the pronunciation isn’t mangled and I can read with the right phrasing and emphasis on the important words.
