How about everyone try to write a comment to this post? I don't think this is as easy as it sounds. Send me questions: lissalord@myway.com
You will choose a user name and password. Your password is the name that others will see attached to your comments. I am Reflibrarian which is the name I chose for a blog at work. The name sticks! So, select one you like and will not forget.
Question 1: Should we use one specific translation of the Tao (ie: Stephen Mitchell) or use several? I have 5 or 6 different versions and I know you have ones I don't have.
Question 2: Shall we start with one chapter per week?
Invite interested folks to join in. This is going to be a wonderful experience!

She finds deep in her own experience the central truths of the art of living, which are paradoxical only on the surface: that the more truly solitary we are, the more compassionate we can be; the more we let go of what we love, the more present our love becomes; the clearer our insight into what is beyond good and evil, the more we can embody the good. Until finally she is able to say, in all humility, "I am the Tao, the Truth, the Life." S. Mitchell
Translation of the Tao Te Ching by Stephen Mitchell, Harper & Row, 1988. In keeping with copyright law only the chapter under study is fulltext. All other chapters show only the first stanza.

Dear Sir/Madame,
We are starting a study group on a blog ... The Tao Study Group
http://taoway.blogspot.com. We are totally non profit and have come together online to continue a study of the Tao. We are asking permission to continue an online study of Stephen Mitchell’s translation of the Tao Te Ching. I would like to post a chapter each week and discuss the text for a total of 81 weeks.
Tao Te Ching, Stephen Mitchell, translator. HarperPerennial edition published 1991.
Thank You
