Book excerpt: A new translation of the 6th-century Taoist text Bai Yao Lu (Statutes of the Hundred Remedies), with practical commentary • Explains how the Hundred Remedies of the Bai Yao Lu offer a practical guide to what enlightened or sagely behavior looks like • Shows how each short verse of the Hundred Remedies presents a spiritual precept as a solution to the problems encountered in daily life and on the spiritual path • Provides insightful commentary for each of the Hundred Remedies, showing how they relate to meditation practice and can help us navigate emotional and social challenges In modern Taoist practice, the emphasis is often on “going with the flow” (wu-wei) and not following any fixed rules of any kind. This may work well for an already enlightened Taoist Sage, but for the rest of us, following a spiritual path involves ethical, moral, and practical guidelines. As author and translator Gregory Ripley (Li Guan, 理觀) explains, the little-known 6th-century Taoist text called the Bai Yao Lu (Statutes of the Hundred Remedies) was created as a practical guide to what enlightened or sagely behavior looks like—and each of the 100 spiritual remedies are just as relevant today as they were when written over 1500 years ago. Presenting a new translation of the Bai Yao Lu for the contemporary world, Ripley provides insightful commentary for each of the Hundred Remedies, showing how they relate to Taoist meditation practice and how they can help us navigate the emotional and social challenges we all experience. He explains how each short verse of the Hundred Remedies presents a spiritual precept in a positive way, not as a restriction or commandment that must not be broken but as a solution to the problems encountered in daily life as well as on the spiritual path. He shows how these deceptively simple statutes, known as abstentions in Taoism, teach us how to emulate the behavior of the Sages until the behavior becomes our own. Both scholarly and inspirational, this guidebook to Taoist spiritual living will help you learn to effortlessly go with the flow, deepen your meditation practice, and find the natural balance in all things.

Book excerpt: In the movie and stage play, Amadeus, Austrian Emperor Joseph II tells Mozart that ther are "too many" notes in one of Mozart's masterpieces. Mozart replies that there is just the right number of notes, not too many or too few. Such is the case with A Tao of God. There is just the right number of words to accomplish its intention, namely, to provide a road map of spiritual evolution beginning with an explanation of the human experiment to living a fulfilled and harmonious life with intermediate stops at emotional wounding, healing, and manifesting. The book's strength lies in the brevity and simplicity of its profound wisdom, which teaches that true healing comes from within, not without, and plots the course of the inward journey. In today's fast-paced world, where more and more people are awakening to their need for spiritual evolution, there are many questions- and many questioners- calling for quick, simple easy-to-find answers. Answers to questions about enlightenment and spiritual evolution have been provided for centuries in thousands of texts. There is indeed, nothing new under the sun. So- what makes A Tao of God unique A Tao of God is complete work that spans: The purpose of mankind, How we come to be spiritually wounded, How these wounds form the basis of all our perceived problems, How they create our perceptions of failures and insecurities, How to heal these wounds, Manifesting everything we need, and Living out lives in a state of perfect harmony and happiness. A Tao of God is short. All of the above is accomplished in about 100 pages. The book's core structure is 39 one to three page chapters. A Tao of God uses simple, straightforward language and strives for perfect clarity. It crosses the boundaries of religious, philosophical, and psychological thought. Because of its succinctness and breadth, A Tao of God is ideal for any seeker of spiritual enlightenment, from complete novices to those who have been consciously on their paths for years, even decades. It ties together the entire journey, and can be read at one sitting. And, just like the popular classics, A Tao of God is one of the few books that can be re-read over and over again, since its message changes the more deeply the reader penetrates the veil between the Earth and the domain of spirit. At this time in mankind's history when fear is running rampant and ruling so much of our actions, a simple and short explanation of what is happening in the nations of the world is sorely needed. Because nations are composed of people, the dynamics of why humans behave as they do are fully explained in A Tao of God. The book has a message of tremendous importance to all people, regardless of nationality, religion or creed. The message is: understand the true origins of fear, learn to release your own fears, and support others in doing the same. In this way you can heal the pain and fear that stop you, and manifest a life of true abundance- one that is filled with inner peace, happiness, love and total freedom. This is the contract A Tao of God makes with its readers. This is the promise that A Tao of God delivers.

Book excerpt: Containing sixty translations from a large variety of texts, this is an accessible yet thorough introduction to the major concepts, doctrines, and practices of Taoism. It presents the philosophy, rituals, and health techniques of the ancients as well as the practices and ideas of Taoists today. Divided into four sections, it follows the Taoist Path: The Tao, Long Life, Eternal Vision, and Immortality. It shows how the world of the Tao is perceived from within the tradition, what fervent Taoists did, and how practitioners saw their path and goals. The Taoist Experience is unique in that it presents the whole of Taoist tradition in the very words of its active practitioners. It conveys not only a sense of the depth of the Taoist religious experience but also of the underlying unity of the various schools and strands.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The teachings of Taoism, China's great wisdom tradition, apply to every aspect of life, from the physical to the spiritual—and include instruction on everything from lifestyle (a life of simplicity and moderation is best) to the work of inner alchemy that is said to lead to longevity and immortality. Here, Eva Wong presents and explains three classic texts on understanding the Tao in the macrocosm of the universe and the microcosm of the body that provide an excellent overview of the three traditional levels of the Taoist teachings—Outer, Inner, and Secret. The Outer teachings are concerned with understanding the Tao as manifested in nature and society. They are easily accessible to the layperson and consist of the Taoist philosophy of nature and humanity, advice on daily living, and a brief introduction to the beginning stages of Taoist meditation. The Inner teachings familiarize the practitioner with the energetic structure of the human body and introduce methods of stilling the mind and cultivating internal energy for health and longevity. The Secret teachings describe the highest level of internal-alchemical transformations within the body and mind for attaining immortality.
