There are over 300 translations of the Dao De Jing which have been published in many different languages. It has been translated more than any other book in the world except for the Bible. There are countless other translations and commentaries written by individuals which have never been published, and some of those are available on the internet. I've included links below to some of the translations and commentaries available on the internet., as well as other information on the text. It's fascinating to read through these various translations of Chapter 1 of the Dao De Jing. Some authors got very creative with their translations, and others seemed to stick closer to previously accepted readings of it. Over 30 translations, including some well-known authors and some new ones. Includes over 100 translations of the DDJ, 80 of them in English. By clicking on each chapter of the Dao De Jing you can see a line by line comparison of 23 different translations. Chinese text based on the Wang Bi version. English: Arthur Waley and D. C. Lau.

Crowley has written a very elaborate manuscript based on the Dao De Jing. He claimed to have channeled with the spirit of Laozi while writing it. Witter Bynner titles his interpretation of the Dao De Jing "The Way of Life." Bynner didn't translate the DDJ from Chinese, but used various other English translations to create a text he believes is easier for the Western mind to comprehend.
