The most accurate in relation to the original language is the translation by Addiss and Lombardo. Although that's my 2nd favorate after the translation by Feng and English.

u/Paisleyfrog · 2 pointsr/religion

This is my favorite translation, but I agree with the others: read as many as you can.

u/Ozwaldo · 2 pointsr/AskReddit

yeah sure. you can find countless buddhist parables if you just google that exact phrase. Personally, I found a great deal of contentment reading the Tao Te Ching (Taoism, not Buddhism, but similar concepts). Specifically, this translation is my favorite one.

u/drunkenglishprof · 2 pointsr/literature

The Gia Fu Feng / Jane English translation is the best. The only one worth reading. All others are cheap knockoffs you'd buy in a back alley in a shady part of some major metropolitan area.

This would be the best late, late, late birthday present of all time if you could help.
The Tree of Enchantment

Tao Te Ching

Sikhism

Grimoire of Crowley

Angel Tech

The Upanishads

And any of the Vedas pretty, pretty please? Much and thanks!!! ALSO Your link of Angels, Demons by Lon Milo DuQuette is broken, I think.

> What's the best way to study Taoism?

I don't know the best way, but I think reading multiple translations helps of the same works. My favourite version of the Tao Te Ching is the one by Gia-Fu Feng and Jane English. I don't know if it is the most accurate, but it is the most poetic of the ones I have found. There are also several translations freely available online.

I also learned a lot from practising Tai Chi from a good teacher - Tai Chi is rooted in Taoist philosophy.

I also highly recommend The Tao of Pooh and The Te Of Piglet by Benjamin Hoff for an in-depth analysis of Taoism from the viewpoint of one of its great western masters - Winnie the Pooh.

I do not know the Wayne Dyer translation, but I have not seen any other translation mention worshipping the Tao. only honouring and respecting it.
