Hello John,
You may read and download any of the major translations of the
Tao Te Ching at:
http://www2.cybernex.net/~jefkirsh/gnl.html
or at: http://www.edepot.com/taotext.html
The latter is the more inclusive resource. For an alternative site that
provides texts and links, try:
http://www.clas.ufl.edu/users/gthursby/taoism/ttc-list.htm
Finally, the "Taoism Information Page" provides English-language scholarly and
philosophical information on the Lao Tzu as well as other related topics, and
texts by the other most significant classical Taoist author Chuang-tzu or
Zhuang-zi:
http://www.clas.ufl.edu/users/gthursby/taoism/
I hope at least one of these references can enhance your enjoyment of the
study of CLASSICAL Taoism as a means of considering things spiritual without
aversion or disgust.
Best wishes,
Bob
