Nice, I'll have to check out the audio recording.
What prompted your interest in the tao te ching?

I read the Tao of Pooh perhaps 20 years ago and didn’t get it. 10 years later started meditation, some way in, learned more about buddhist philosophy and about a week ago listened to Leguin’s reading of her translation and it all made perfect sense. Then read through the text and made all the more sense.
Without belittling either, it feels like one needs the grounding of buddhism to see you don’t actually need buddhism. Taoism is the distilled essence of it all.
