Readings for Unit 4: Daoism

April 29 Monday Daoist Philosophy
A translation of the Dao De Jing or Tao Te Ching: read whichever one you like. My favorite is Gia-fu Feng and Jane English.
Some parts of Zhuang Zi in English. Burton Watson I like a lot, but explore.

May 1 Wednesday Daoist Techniques
Livia Kohn, The Taoist Experience: An Anthology.What you read is up to you, but I would recommend that you sample from all the sections, rather than read just one or two in detail.

May 6 Monday. Daoist Ritual
Michael R. Saso, Daoism and the Rite of Cosmic Renewal, pp. 45-83 (e-reserve)
