Lao Tzu's Tao Teh Ching has been of interest to humanity for millennia, though most readers are left with curiosity and amazement. In this translation by contemporary Taoist Master Hua-Ching Ni, much is simplified for the English reader. More importantly, Hua-Ching Ni explains energetics, rendering Lao Tzu's writing more understandable. We are also given some of the same energetic practices that are used to attain this wisdom.
Master Hua-Ching Ni uses straightforward language and personal experiences, as well as traditional stories and teachings of the ancient masters, to impart the wisdom of Taoism, the Integral Way. His teachings promote a simple, natural, healthy, and happy way of life that lays the foundation for spiritual self-cultivation. Master Ni emphasizes that it is important first to establish a good understanding of basic spiritual principles and then begin to realize this wisdom in daily life by adopting practices and attitudes that help to conserve, nourish, and refine the subtle energy. Among the topics he discusses in short, accessible passages are: • Basic spiritual self-protection • Self-reliance • Emotional balance • Do's and don'ts for a healthy, natural lifestyle • Sleeping and dreaming • Diet • Love, sex and marriage • Meditations and invocations from the Taoist tradition
Enlightenment is the inspiring story of Hui Neng, 6th Patriarch and father of Zen Buddhism. Although intellectually unsophisticated, Hui Neng became a true spiritual revolutionary who said that You have been programmed to believe that a godly way of life is different from what you are doing right here, right now. This is the main obstacle that you need to overcome.
Learn about some of the more subtle aspects of life. Master Ni points out the confusion which can be caused by some teachings and encourages students to cultivate internal growth. Master Ni says, "Students of Tao are not crazy about the descriptions of high beings and sages that were sent and so forth. The reality is, are you going to be your own sage and a sage for others? That is the goal and the realisation.
Hua-Ching Ni discusses the nature of the soul and how its quality can change according to what we think and do. He also addresses what we can do to improve ourselves and further our spiritual evolution. This book invites a deeper understanding of the soul, of saving the soul, liberating the soul, and the process of leaving the physical body at the time of death.
