Book Chat

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

 

What about Art of the Bedchamber?

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.
