Perfect book for morning meditation *by R***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 5, 2019* For me, the first item for consideration when looking into a new copy of a spiritual book is the quality of the translation. This version of The Tao Te Ching was translated by Ralph Alan Dale. The dude knew his stuff. He was an expert in Chinese culture and the Tao Te Ching. I would have preferred if he was a monk (they are just so careful staying true to the original text and have endless onsite expertise to debate the fine points), but Ralph made this his life, seems sincerely interested in keeping the verses accurate and his explanations of the verses resonate with my understandings of these texts. He definitely is explaining the verses for a western audience, but his sparse commentary shows a deep understanding and thoughtful delivery.Okay, now for the reason I really like these little books...because I will actually use them.I find myself actually meditating. These are not books to collect, they are to use.I like to keep my reading material nearby in case I am inclined I use it. I have a couple of these in the Watkins series and they are perfect for me. They are so small I can have them on my living room end table where I sit, so I will actually pick up the book, turn to a page and meditate on it for a bit.Important to the rest of the house is that I can leave my little books on my living room end table where I sit without making a big book mess. These look stylish and decorative.If I feel like a little Lao Tzu instead, I have their little Tao Te Ching book here too.I find these help me remember to practice more often. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Quality book *by B***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 11, 2019* The book is really durable and printed nicely. There are no references or notes so this book is definitely for those with an existing understanding of Buddhism or someone willing to do the additional research to understand each entry. It’s bound nicely and easy to read on bright, sturdy paper. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect condition *by S***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 9, 2021* thank you --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/40076634-the-dhammapada-the-essential-teachings-of-the-buddha-sacred-texts](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/40076634-the-dhammapada-the-essential-teachings-of-the-buddha-sacred-texts) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-11-11*
