Eva Wong is an independent scholar and a practitioner of the Taoist arts of the Pre-Celestial Way and Complete Reality lineages. She has written and translated many books on Taoism and related topics, including A Master Course in Feng-Shui; Tales of the Taoist Immortals; and Taoism: An Essential Guide.
"Eva Wong, a long-time practitioner of Taoism and a translator of
Taoist texts, has written a comprehensive overview of this often
misunderstood spiritual tradition. Both diverse and fascinating as
a historical profile, this colorful introduction to Taoist
tradition and practices, its sages, and the practical application
of stillness, are often likened to the mystical Chinese landscape
of mountain and mist. Part One details the history of Taoism and
the rise of mystical Taoism. It also includes a discussion of the
rise of Taoist alchemy and the synthesis of Taoism, Buddhism, and
Confucianism. Part Two discusses the various systems of Taoism that
include several of the esoteric Taoist practices. Part Three covers
meditation, techniques for strengthening the body, and ceremonial
rites."--The Inner Directions Journal "This book is the first
comprehensive introduction to Taoism by a modern practitioner of
the tradition itself."--Russell Kirkland, Education About Asia
