Author Information

Lao Tzu was an extraordinary thinker who lived during the sixth century B.C.E. He was the first philosopher of Chinese Daoism and the alleged author of the Tao Ti Ching. Modern scholars discount the possibility that the Tao Ti Ching was written by only one person but readily acknowledge the influence of Daoism on the development of Buddhism.
