the Tao Te Ching (and Chuang Tzu in the same vein, and Alan Watts for a modern take) is amazingly applicable to life today and is surprisingly not that New Age-y.

The sections that describe the process of dying were fascinating, especially those sections that describe the grand luminosity.

This is one gem in a pile of rhinestones. This wisdom in this book seems to be in universal in nature and applies to all atoms, cells, being, and stars.

Once a long time ago. I recall some of being quite striking, but these days I'm (overly?) cynical about things that have the scent of mysticism.
