“Create real change in the world.”

I know Waysun Liao (the book’s translator)—I am a student of his. I have read this book and his other more recent works, and I can confirm your belief that T’ai Chi and Taoism are linked. Intimately so. Master Liao is not only a T’ai Chi Master he is also a Taoist (and by this I don’t mean the not the religion, I mean in the original sense). For what it’s worth, I also find him to be an extremely humble man—but then I wouldn’t consider him a real Taoist if he wasn’t.

P.S. My favorite of his books is NINE NIGHTS WITH A TOAIST MASTER, which is a translation of the Tao Te Ching, placed within the format of a novel.

I’m pleased to see somebody that has been learning Tai Chi for 4 years and studying too.

I’ve a feeling that most of my students just come along to practice only.

I study every day and as each day goes past I feel that I know less.

Best Wishes,

I suspect my Taoist leanings actually come from my Father’s Christian Scientist background. There’s an awful lot of Emerson and Unitarianism in Christian Science. And there seems to be an awful lot of Taoism in Emerson and Thoreau.
