DescriptionBooks on enlightenment often emphasise the doctrine of nothingness, purity, innocence or freedom as applied to spiritual cultivation. Such was Hua-Ching Ni’s intention in his first translation of The Complete Works of Lao Tzu, which includes the Tao Teh Ching. The Esoteric Tao Teh Ching approaches Lao Tzu’s simple and profound spiritual wisdom from a different perspective. Since nothingness does not last, a teaching that over-emphasises the doctrine of nothingness is a partial teaching. In the spirit of Tao, Hua-Ching Ni gives people useful insight and techniques with which they can cultivate their lives based on the Tao Teh Ching. The text, a commentary, a discussion section, and a chapter on traditional techniques of spiritual cultivation are included. Author descriptionHua-Ching Ni is a spiritual master in the Taoist tradition of the Integral Way. He first studied with his family and then with teachers, recluses and hermits in the high mountains of China. In the 1970s he came to America where he taught, practiced Chinese medicine, and wrote over fifty books. He and his sons, Drs Daoshing and Mao Shing Ni, founded Yo San University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Los Angeles in 1989. |
