(175+ Translations of Chapter 1) The original text in Wade-Giles Romanization:
Lao Tzu: "Tao Te Ching" (170+ translations of Chapter 1)
Literally (it is my understanding), "no action." Functionally this concept, which Lao Zi stresses over and again, holds that whatever one does must be so authentically a part of the person as to feel, to seem, and, indeed, to really be, effortless.

Lao-tzu Biography
Who Was Lao-tzu Almost everything we know about Lao-tzu comes from the Historical Records of Ssu-ma Ch'ien. Lao-tzu is also one of the basic characters of the Chuang-tzu's stories - unfortunately they are mostly fiction.
Taoism, also known as Daoism, is an indigenous Chinese religion often associated with the Daode jing (Tao Te Ching), a philosophical and political text purportedly written by Laozi (Lao Tzu) sometime in the 3rd or 4th centuries B.C.E. The Daode jing focuses on dao as a "way" or "path" — that is, the appropriate way to behave and to lead others — but the Daode jing also refers to Tao as something that existed "before Heaven and Earth," a primal and chaotic matrix from which all forms emerged.
