	Shop Book "Laotse - Daodejing - 1" Interpretation of the first chapter (in German) and illustration with woodblock prints Nine doublepages Digital print, cover sealed with oil-based ink, Japanese binding with open spine Size: 26 x 20,3 cm Verlag Eva Pietzcker, Berlin 2006 Price: 25 € Since a few years, I am practising Daoist meditation and am studying Chinese philosophy. So I came in contact with the Daodejing, a Chinese classic, written down around 400 BC, accredited to the philosopher Laozi. The Daodejing, besides the Zhuangzi the basic text of Daoism, is a collection of deep, metaphysical texts. At a time when I was studying the daodejing very intensively, I had the idea to illustrate the first chapter, which expresses the daodejings content in concentrated form. For that, I finally wrote my own interpretation, basing on my meditation experience, and with the generous help of two experts. Title and pages 1, 2, 4, 6 und 7 1 Ich kann einen Weg gehen, aber nicht den ewigen Weg. Ich kann einen Namen nennen, aber nicht den entgültigen Namen. Im Namenlosen liegt der Ursprung von Himmel und Erde. Das Namhafte ist die Mutter der zehntausend Dinge. Im Nichts erfahre ich das Unbegreifliche. Im Sein erfahre ich das Begrenzte. Die beiden, ein Ursprung, verschiedene Namen, gemeinsam ist ihnen das Tiefgründige. Wenn ich dem Tiefgründigen weiter folge, dann öffnet sich das Tor zum Unbegreiflichen. In English: 1 I can walk a path, but not the eternal path. I can call a name, but not the final name. In the unnamed lies the origin of heaven and earth. Name is the mother of the ten thousand things. Within nothing I experience the elusive. Within being I experience the bordered. The two, one origin, different names, together they share deepness. When I follow the deepness, The door opens to the mystery.
