Dao De Jing: A Complete Commentary, by Mr. Liu Zhankui, a master of contemporary oriental wisdom and a spiritual practitioner of body-and-mind cultivation who has realized Dao, is one of the most comprehensive, thorough and wisdom interpretations of the Dao De Jing.
This commentary is an encyclopedia to guide the readers on how to explore the nature and universe, how to understand the heaven, earth and all things, how to lift the biggest confusion about birth, aging, illness and death in life, and how to establish a healthy lifestyle and harmonious social relationships.
Book Nine extends the commentaries on Chapter 38 to Chapter 43 of the original 81-chapter Dao De Jing with detailed interpretations and annotations.
The author expounded how the ideas and ideology of "Dao, De, Benevolence, Righteousness, Propriety" permeate various levels of the society from the root to the branches and play a "nothing-cannot-be-managed" teaching and persuading role.
The author emphatically pointed it out that, in teaching the people and administering the country, deviating from the root of Dao and De, and only insisting on the "You Wei" method of "Benevolence, Righteousness, Propriety," will merely result in chaos and ruin because such actions are against human nature.
He revealed the mechanism on how all things derives and evolves from the interaction of Dao and its manifestation, as well as, under the compatible, pervading and Wu Wei domination of Dao-in-itself-and-manifestation, how all things show their harmonious evolving and transforming relations as a whole.
He emphasized that only when one sticks to modesty and weakens one's ambition, keeps a pure and peaceful mind, and practices Wu Wei, can one enjoy the "all-in-order" fruit of "nothing-cannot-be-done" due to one's compliance with Dao and its manifestation.
