Daoist Texts in Western Languages
This free downloadable PDF was inspired by Louis Komjathy’s influential ‘Daoist Texts in Translation’, which is available at no cost online. It identifies the few English translations available to us over the last decades. Since more and more treatises and scriptures have been made available, we decided to put together and upload an update of publications to facilitate the (re-)search of enthusiastic followers of the dao for these deliberating works.

When we started the Purple Cloud Institute, our aim was to make accessible educational material about traditional Chinese cultural practices. We strive to keep prices of our books as affordable as possible and the content we provide free of charge. However, there are many ongoing behind the scenes costs and the time taken to provide such content is considerable.
If you have enjoyed our offerings please consider donating and supporting us. The help will allow us to make time to bring you more in the way of book publications, podcasts and videos about tradition-based Daoist, Chinese medicine and martial arts and help keep these traditions alive.
Your assistance is greatly appreciated!

This is a great resource, thank you ! Is it intended to include other languages than English, as the title might suggest ?
Yes, eventually, especially French, Italian and Spanish, as it is a growing document and will be updated periodically.
Scholarship of the great effort and fruit of our ancient brethren quite important in this age of distraction and technological dystopia.
