Tao: The Subtle Universal Law and the Integral Way of Life

by Hua-Ching Ni

In the modern world, people are not only separated from their environment, but also from their own bodies and minds. We can learn to integrate all these fragments and return to our original nature. In 'Tao, the Subtle Universal Law', Hua-Ching Ni carefully presents the wisdom and practical methods that the ancient Chinese have successfully used for centuries. To lead a good stable life is to be aware of the actual conjoining of the universal subtle law with every moment and event of our lives. The real meaning of taoist self-discipline is to harmonize with universal law. This is almost the total secret of a Taoist life. The value of this book lies in the fact that it not only tells us 'why' but also 'how.'

Reviews

[Tao Zheng · Rating 4 out of 5]

Excellent intro to Daoist metaphysics and its relation to internal alchemy and traditional Chinese medicine. Wished the author/publisher added the Chinese characters to the Chinese terminology.

[Neil Crowle · Rating 5 out of 5]

A summary of Taoist philosophy, physical exercises, beliefs of Chinese traditional medicine. Quite enjoyable, but may be hard going if one knows nothing about the subject before starting.
