The Tomes of Ultimate Wisdom


This is my triad of complete and ultimate wisdom.

The one on the left is where I get my symbols from and gives a commentary for each day.

The one in the middle gives you nice poems about Tao because the East long ago figured out to make learning fun or forget it.

The one on the right gives different versions (translations) of the poems, scatters the chapters all over the place and seems to take itself seriously (which is a bummer).  Someday I'll read the introduction which likely explains their reasoning on this.

  1. Is there "ultimate" wisdom"? I think it grows and expands like the universe. The Dao would probably say, "never limit knowledge".

  2. oh it's all there all right,
    everything you ever need to know
    so we can burn all other books and libraries in the world and be done with it.

    just not as much fun as my daughter's animal cards :-)

    I just realized that that photo is really hard to see so the books are these from left to right:

    "Everyday tao" by Deng Ming-Dao

    "Living the Wisdom of the Tao" by Dr. Wayne W Dyer

    "Te-Tao Ching" by Lao-Tzu translated by Robert G. Henricks
