Selection of passages from the Daodejing chosen by Tolstoy and published by Posrednik in 1910, with his essay On the Essence of Laozi's Teaching and a note by Ivan Gorbunov-Posadov. Tolstoy especially admired the concept of wu wei, which he rendered as "non-doing", and read it in harmony with Gospel non-resistance.
