Finding a Life of Harmony and Balance - A Taoist Master's Path to Wisdom

"The story of Wang Liping traces his path to becoming the 18th generation transmitter of Dragon Gate Taoism. Specially chosen - like the Dalai Lama - as the holder and guardian of an ancient tradition, Wang's spiritual coming-of-age plays out in secluded villages and snowy peaks in remote reaches of China. Wang's journey speaks to readers plotting their own paths, seeking their own forms of insight and lives of greater harmony and balance."--
