Laozi ke baare mein
Laozi, jinhe Lao Tzu bhi likha jaata hai, prachin China ke ek darshanik maane jaate hain. Parampara ke anusaar ve Confucius ke samkaleen the aur lagbhag chhathi sadi BCE mein jeevit the. Lekin itihaskar unke jeevan aur yahan tak ki unke astitva par bhi bahas karte hain. Kai vidwan maante hain ki 'Tao Te Ching' alag-alag samay mein kai logon ke vichaaron se milkar bani hogi.
Laozi ke baare mein jo kahaniyan milti hain, ve zyaadatar paramparik hain. Kaha jaata hai ki ve Zhou rajya ke darbar mein granthpaal (archivist) the. Ek prasiddh katha ke anusaar jab ve rajya chhodkar pashchim ki or ja rahe the, tab seema ke dwarpal ke aagrah par unhone apni seekh likh di, jo 'Tao Te Ching' kahlaayi.
'Tao Te Ching' ek chhota granth hai jismein 81 chhote adhyay hain. Iska kendriya vichar "Tao" hai, yaani woh moolbhoot raasta ya srot jisse sab kuch chalta hai aur jise shabdon mein poori tarah bataya nahi ja sakta. Laozi saralta, vinamrata aur "wu wei", yaani zabardasti kiye bina swabhavik dhang se kaam karne, par zor dete hain. Parampara mein unhe Taoism ka sansthapak maana jaata hai.
Yeh granth kai bhashaon mein anuvadit ho chuka hai aur aaj bhi kaafi padha jaata hai. HindiAudiobook.com par 'Lao Tzu' audiobook Hindi mein sun sakte hain, jismein Laozi aur unke vichaaron ka parichay milta hai.
