Lao Tzu, also known as Laozi, was an ancient Chinese philosopher and writer, traditionally considered the author of the "Tao Te Ching" and the founder of philosophical Taoism. He is a central figure in Chinese culture, and his work has had a significant influence on Chinese Buddhism.

His teachings emphasize living in harmony with the Tao (the Way), a fundamental principle that is the source, pattern, and substance of everything that exists. Taoism, as shaped by Lao Tzu's thoughts, advocates simplicity, selflessness, and achieving harmony with nature.
