Jessica Kingsley Publishers, Singing Dragon
First published in 1973, this all time classic of Tai Ji literatureremains as fresh and illuminating today as when it was first published.Written with true passion and eloquence, the book richly conveys thesubtle yet profound principles underlying Tai Ji. Movement, stillness,joyfulness, and the ability to live in the moment are the threadsrunning through the text, as well as the humour and compassion toacknowledge the impossibility of human perfection. Containing theoriginal foreword by Alan W. Watts, the book is illustrated withbeautiful calligraphy by the author, and photographs by Si Chi Ko, oneof China's 'National Treasures'.

This timeless masterpiece is still essential reading for anybodyinterested in Taoism, Tai Ji, or the Tao philosophy of "Living OurOwn Tao.”
