picnic Posted November 12, 2008 never heard of it, many Tao books are good, depending mainly in the authors understanding. I would say that reading as many translations of Tao Te Ching, then Chuang Tzu would be the best start Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
picnic Posted November 12, 2008 i remember now, i did read that book. I enjoyed the guys novel, a story based in old China and some monks with great fighting power. It was an enjoyable story but that's all. The book you mention is a companion to another of his books, it was nice, but did not leave a big impression on me. I hope you enjoy it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
