Lao/Tao/Dao

[Lawrence]

Philosophy used to be my major, so I guess I'll have a go at this in the next few days.

you should have a look at buddhist philosophy as well

not my forte moobs,

though if it were me i'd look up the one used by colleges, else wise translations accredited for teachers.
i'd keep to the ethical side of the teachings. the parables etc if there are any (i'd have thought there were a shitload hehe.)
so read the parable, anecdote, story, and then ask them to dissect it. what does it mean to them, can they think of comparable messages from other philosophies or teachings, i.e, the bible, Talmud (sp) Koran. Plato, Aristotle etc,

i have read the art of war and it's a brilliant book for discussion. lots why is this so questions can be asked, not exactly dao or tao but philosophical discussions can be drawn from it.

sorry i can't be of more help moobs.

i almost forgot the "i Ching"

well worth reading up on that,
