Read 81 chapters with daily reflections, simple exercises and a private journal
Read the Tao Te Ching slowly, one chapter at a time. Tao brings all 81 chapters together with original reflections, small exercises and a journal of your own. Read the daily chapter or open any part of the book whenever you wish. All texts are included for offline reading. THE COMPLETE TAO TE CHING Explore James Legge's 1891 English translation in a clear, dark reading view. Search the book, browse themes, save bookmarks and choose a text size that suits you. Chapter titles and Arcadia's commentary are kept separate from the historical translation. A SMALL DAILY PRACTICE Each chapter comes with an original reflection, a practical exercise and a question to carry into your day. Explore water, simplicity, enough, compassion and wu wei through ordinary actions. Record days of practice without a streak that resets when you take time away. YOUR OWN REFLECTIONS Write beside the chapter that prompted a thought. Return to saved notes, edit them or delete them. Your journal stays on your device. No account is needed for reading or keeping notes. READ THE IDEAS IN CONTEXT Nine original Lore articles explore reading the Tao Te Ching, action without forcing, water, contentment, opposites, leadership and the three treasures. Links take you back to the relevant chapters. RETURN IN YOUR OWN TIME An optional daily reminder can arrive at your chosen hour. The home-screen widget offers the day's chapter and a small practice. Phone and tablet layouts give the text room to breathe. Tao is free to download with ads. An optional one-time purchase removes ads. Every chapter, article and feature is available without a purchase.
