Theosophists have made at least 6 translations of the Tao Te Ching.
Without trying, they have contributed to making the Doa De Jing, one of the most translated texts in the world.
Walter Gorn-Old 1894
C. Spurgeon Medhurst 1905
D.T. Suzuki & Paul Carus 1913
Dwight
Goddard 1919 (Not really a Theosophist, but his translation of the
Lankavatara Sutra, with the assistance of D.T. Suzuki, is quite
Theosophy-friendly in my opinion, although purists might object to his
renderings, but I think that they were appropriately accessible for a
general western public.
Isabella Mears, 1922
Charles H. Mackintosh 1926
Henry Wei, 1982
