Entering the Tao: Master Ni's Guidance for Self-Cultivation

by Hua-Ching Ni

Master Hua-Ching Ni uses straightforward language and personal experiences, as well as traditional stories and teachings of the ancient masters, to impart the wisdom of Taoism, the Integral Way. His teachings promote a simple, natural, healthy, and happy way of life that lays the foundation for spiritual self-cultivation.

Master Ni emphasizes that it is important first to establish a good understanding of basic spiritual principles and then begin to realize this wisdom in daily life by adopting practices and attitudes that help to conserve, nourish, and refine the subtle energy. Among the topics he discusses in short, accessible passages are:

   •  Basic spiritual self-protection
   •  Self-reliance
   •  Emotional balance
   •  Do's and don'ts for a healthy, natural lifestyle
   •  Sleeping and dreaming
   •  Diet
   •  Love, sex and marriage
   •  Meditations and invocations from the Taoist tradition

This is kind of like a clip show. This book contains extracts from Master Ni's many other books. It is a great little omnibus. I recommend it to anyone interested in the subject matter.

I do enjoy this book. If you need a guide to conscious, thoughtful living then this is a good choice.

Having bought this book more than 15 years ago, I understand it more now I've had 30 years as an adult.

Perhaps in another 15 years I'll understand its messages with more clarity. A keeper, that's for sure.
