Interesting but difficult to read, not to say to understand. It will be much better if all these diamonds of acknowledges will be transformed into your real life examples. As it was told - if you want to know a teacher you should live with him half of a year. Maybe to see that will he follows his doctrines or not the point. Or it could turn oit as if it is the Buddhism church and there is the crime behavior of monks to the animals, with tigers, if you remember this story. I like the Buddhism, there are many interesting thoughts in it but I had not been digging deep. Maybe in a future...
I must have read the Tao Te Ching as a young man. I don't remember; it certainly left no impression on me. Later in life (around age 40) i read it again and liked it , but still didn't understand much of it. Since then i have read it more than 50 times (in this translation plus about ten other translations as well.) Each reading yields something more and different. It has become the lens through which i view the world.
It is not everybody's cup of tea.
There must certainly be good Russian translations.
To really get into it, i had to develop my spiritual side more fully. I had to admit the possibility that we modern people have distorted reality to such an extent that we can no longer tell the difference between what is real and what is unreal, and we might need the help of ancient philosophies.
