Final Note: To truly experience the Nan Hua Ching, seek the translation by Burton Watson ( The Complete Works of Zhuangzi ) or the poetic version by Thomas Merton ( The Way of Chuang Tzu ). In Portuguese, look for "Zhuangzi – O Livro da Flor do Sul" by various publishers (e.g., Editora Pensamento). Let the southern flower open in your heart today.
Nan Hua Ching is the Portuguese rendering of Nanhua Zhenjing ("The True Classic of Southern Florescence"), the honorific title given to the Zhuangzi . This text is the second most important book in Taoism, after the Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu.
