Another study from one of Ju Ming's series of the eight most influential people in history, this is his tribute to Lao Tsu, father of the way. Here he is depicted on his journey to Tibet, after he composed the Tao Te Ching for Yin Xi

Here I show my respect for the deep insight of Lao Tsu, who teaches us that surrender is the path to victory. How true is the Tao!

Stand before it - there is no beginning

Follow it and there is no end

Stay with the Tao, Move with the present
