Product Description
Place the word Tao
Into your heart.
Use no other words.
The Tao is constantly moving, the path that all life and the whole universe takes. There is nothing that is not part of it—harmonious living is to know and to move with the Tao—it is a way of life, the natural order of things, a force that flows through all life.
365 Tao is a contemporary book of meditations on what it means to be wholly a part of the Taoist way, and thus to be completely in harmony with oneself and the surrounding world.
Deng Ming-Dao is the author of eight books, including The Living I Ching, Chronicles of Tao, Everyday Tao, and Scholar Warrior. His books have been translated into fifteen languages. He studied qigong, philosophy, meditation, and internal martial arts with Taoist master Kwan Saihung for thirteen years, and with two other masters before that.

No better way to start the day....or end one.,
By
This review is from: 365 Tao (Paperback)
This little gem is a must for those who want a little more out of the day-to-day. In its pages you'll find what you need to hear or maybe what you ought to hear but have not taken the time to reflect on. Tao (Dao "The way) is not an easy concept to grasp. Then again if it was easy would we bother. It's simple calendar is matched carefully to changes of the seasons. Each day starts with a Chinese character (accompanied by its English rendering) which is artistically drawn and opens with a poetic passage. Then the fun starts. Whether it is by analogy or parable or just plain straight language the author endeavors to bring to you the deeper meaning how the knowledge of Tao can have a positive spin in your life. The most appealing aspect of the book is how an age-old concept is adapted to the modern day. I have had friends respond to daily passages in such a way that leaves them inspired enough to write me emails about it. In so doing they are playing out the most powerful message of Tao "being one with others and all that's around us".

I love this book. It gives you a little something to think about each day. It really is amazing how a few words can mean so much. If you need a little something to keep you grounded in what really matters each day this is wonderful book.

Practical and Inspiring Guide to Taoism,
By Giant Panda (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 365 Tao (Paperback)
This is a fascinating book that I enjoyed very much. This book's format makes it very interesting and motivating. Each page (one for each day of the year) starts with a Chinese character in beautiful calligraphic script. The English meaning of this character is given, as well as a verse in easy-to-read English providing more insight about the inner meaning of that character and the Chinese way of thinking. Below this, a few paragraphs of prose provide additional food for thought surrounding the theme of that day. I found the writing style of Deng Mind-Dao very interesting and inspiring. The topics chosen were important and relevant to one's daily life. I found the best way to use "365 Tao" for me is to read a page in the bathroom each morning. The readings stimulated my thoughts and ideas for the whole day. Often I would practice yoga afterwards. Overall it is a nice book, and I would readily buy any other book by Deng Ming-Dao.
