Taoism

Taoism for Beginners is a practical guide to applying the key notions, concepts and beliefs underlying Taoism's various branches and schools.

Aged wisdom is most necessary for the chaos in today’s world. Think about it. We live in a Facebook world. Everyone is constantly on their phones, checking out other people’s profiles and are constantly distracted by the barrage of emails, messages and notifications. Taoism promotes joyful living… and part of that is living with joy, peace and grace. This book is not about the principles, history and philosophies of Taoism… This book is a shortcut. This book is a compilation of 365 of the wisest, most intriguing and most important Taoism quotes. Remember: you don’t become fitter from reading push-ups. You become fitter only when you do the push-ups. (doesn’t matter how many you do, how bad/good each repetitions look like) Similar, the teaching of Taoism is a way of life. There is no point reading a chunky, fluffy and thick book to study about Taoism, only to find out that you’ll only need to live from some of the quotes/sayings from it.

A beautifully compelling and liberating guide to the original nature of Zen in ancient China by renowned author and translator David Hinton.
