Bringing the Tao to Spanish Readers: A New Chinese-Spanish Edition πŸŒΏπŸ“–

Hi everyone (and "Hola" to any Spanish speakers here)!

I’ve recently completed a personal project that I’d like to share with this community: a bilingual edition of the Tao Te Ching in Chinese and Spanish. 🌿 This version is the result of working directly with the original text in Chinese, alongside six well-regarded translations in Spanish, English, and French, to create something that is both faithful and accessible.

πŸ“– What makes this edition special?
1️⃣ A new direct translation from the Chinese text.
2️⃣ A side-by-side layout of Chinese and Spanish.
3️⃣ Notes and a glossary to deepen understanding of key terms.
4️⃣ Six essential Chinese characters highlighted in color for easy reference.

I’ve made this available on Amazon [link here], priced as low as the platform allows, but I’d be more than happy to send you the PDF for free if you’d prefer not to buy the physical book or want to review it before purchasing. Just let me know, sharing the wisdom of the Tao is more important than selling books.

Let me know what you think! πŸ™
