doc benway Posted February 14, 2008 I thought it would be worthwhile to start a separate topic for the informal discussion of books other than those we're reading as a part of the book club. If you want to recommend a book, chat with others about something you're reading or have read, have questions about a book, looking for advice on which books to buy... this is a place to do all that.

Pietro Posted February 16, 2008 I thought it would be worthwhile to start a separate topic for the informal discussion of books other than those we're reading as a part of the book club. If you want to recommend a book, chat with others about something you're reading or have read, have questions about a book, looking for advice on which books to buy... this is a place to do all that. Happy Valentine's Day - Hallmark thanks you for your support... First thing first: my teacher, Alan, asked me to read Robinet's History of Taoism. So I will read it, no matter what. Still if others are interested would be nice to read it all together. Second, I think it would be interesting to read some ancient taoist texts on the art of the bedchamber, or similar.

doc benway Posted February 28, 2008 I read an excerpt from the following book: http://www.amazon.com/Happy-Child-Changing...7866&sr=8-7 I plan to buy and read the whole thing. THe excerpt was really profound and I'd highly recommend to anyone interested in education (parents, students, educators...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EQi Posted March 29, 2008 A book that might be of interest is The Whole Heart of Tao by Sifu John Bright-Fey, a practicing Taoist priest and lineage holder in a Zen (Chan) school. This is a translation by an author who cultivated the Tao Te Ching via the oral tradition. A far cry from the typical non-cultivator translations haunting the shelves of Barnes and Noble. I posted a brief review on this site. There's a more comprehensive review at Amazon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
