Pros

This book is one of the best treatises/introductions to taoist internal alchemy. Taoism isn’t a joke. The state of * chi, the intermediate state between wu chi and tai chi is discussed. The author's other books are great if you are looking for informa...  Read More

Cultivating stillness is a short text of twenty-four segments. The author guides us in understanding the path to cultivating stillness. As another reviewer put it, it is a book to meditate upon.

The t'ai shang ch'in-ching ching is an ancient taoist text. These illustrations are very interesting and informative (such as the use of the original form of the taiqi symbol) in their own right.



Cons

    Well i could continue pointing out shuichings hypocrisy and rather irritating tone but the bigger issue here is eva wongs choice of commentator


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
