 A most-beautiful panoramic view of Taoism
For the western mind this is really a most-interesting and beautiful panoramic view of the history of China where Taoism has played a central role. From this book we can infere two different schools in taoism, that one in which the "magic" plays an essential role, and that one that can be summed up, in the answer to the question the Emperor Jingzong asked to the taoist master Liu Xuanjing:
"Abandon extravagance, minize desire, practice compassion, and refrain from sexual excesses. These are the foundations of the arts of longevity and immortality."
Written in a most easy and enjoyable-colorful language, this is really a must-read for all those interested in the evolution of the East and its relation with the spiritual tradition of the west, that after all are not so different, in my humble opinion, when seen from the perspective offered by Eva Wong.
