    Lao-Tzu

    A Philosopher

    • Lao-Tzu

    Chinese Taoist

    [6th Century BCE]

    Lao Tzu is the founder of Chinese Taoism. Almost nothing is known of Lao-Tzu's life, but we know of Lao-Tzu from Zhuangzi.

    It is claimed that Lao-Tzu held official rank. It is also suggested by Taoists that Lao-Tzu lived more than once and travelled to India where he became Buddha.

    The Tang Emperors [618-906] claims they are direct descendants of Lao-Tzu.
