The Inner Chapters
The writings of Chuang Tzu stand alongside the Tao Te Ching as foundational classics of Taoism. Dating back to the fourth century BC, The Inner Chapters is full of fantastical tales that both entertain and provide guidance on living a good life--a gigantic fish that becomes a bird, a cook who never sharpens his blade, a magical being who lives in the mountains, and more. This new luxury edition is distinguished by insightful commentary and superb photographs that convey in their wordless beauty the profound wisdom of Chuang Tzu's text.
Practicing the Tao Te Ching
Most people think of the Tao Te Ching as a book on philosophy or a treatise on leadership. Yet there is a little-known treasure hidden within the familiar passages of Lao Tzu’s work: step-by-step practical guidance for the spiritual journey. With Practicing the Tao Te Ching, renowned teacher Solala Towler reveals a new facet to this spiritual classic, offering accessible practice instructions paired with each of the 81 verses of the Tao Te Ching. “Tao is a way of deep reflection and learning from nature, considered the highest teacher,” writes Towler. “It shows us how to follow the energy flows within the heavens, the earth, and our own bodies.” With lucid instruction and deep insight, he guides you through meditations, movement and breathing practices, subtle energy exercises, and inner reflections—all to help you to embody Taoist wisdom in every aspect of your life.
Dream Trippers
Anthropologists David A. Palmer and Elijah Siegler explore the globalization of Daoism: the interactions between international spiritual tourists, traditional Chinese monks, and American scholar-practitioners at the sacred Daoist mountain of Huashan, China. Palmer and Siegler show how the spiritual and religious histories of China and the West intersect, collide, and interpenetrate, revealing the paradoxes and dilemmas of the search for spiritual authenticity in a globalized world.--Provided by publisher.

Embarking on the Way
Embarking On The Way is especially designed to present the fascinating world of Taoist philosophy and practice to Western readers. Written in a simple and down-to-earth manner, it encompasses a wide range of Taoist studies -- from the classical teachings of Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu to the Tat of sex and relationship. It is purposefully written in a non-scholarly fashion, to appeal to readers who are interested in non-religious Taoism and how it works for Western practitioners. Unlike other spiritual philosophies, there is nothing to join, no vows to take, no special diet to follow, and there is no need to let go of your own personal religion or spiritual path to benefit from the teachings and practices of Tao. Embarking On The Way offers the Taoist philosophy and then allows the reader to choose which parts of the program he or she wishes to follow.
Cha Dao
