Taoism

Essential Teachings of the Way and Its Power

De: Ken Cohen MA

Narrado por: Ken Cohen MA

Over 2,000 years ago, the great sage Lao-Tzu was disillusioned that others were unwilling to learn his path to natural goodness and harmony with nature. Today, his Tao Te Ching is one of China's most enduring sacred texts. This introduction to the Tao reveals Lao-Tzu's vast spiritual legacy, including Taoism's mystical roots in China's ancient shamanistic tradition; keys to ethical living, inner silence, and simplicity; Taoist meditation for awareness and healing; Taoist prayers, rituals, and iconography; and teachings on diet, poetry, feng shui, dream yoga, and much more. Ken Cohen is a renowned Taoist initiate, China scholar, and qigong master.Download the accompanying reference guide.©1998 Ken Cohen (P)1998 Sounds True

introduction only

It is well written and uncomplicated. The one thing that is not pleasant is that he includes a long and 'real time' meditation walk through at the end of nearly every chapter. this makes it unpleasant if you feel like listening to the information and insights without sitting through a 15 words in ten min. slow meditation. On the other hand the meditations are very effective since they make you want to sleep.

Life changing

Such a good audiobook. Learn so much. Finished hearing it in two days, and worked 9 hour days. That is a record for me. I know I will listen to this audiobook over and over .

Wonderful teaching!

Mr. Cohen has done a wonderful job of not only explaining Taoism, and it's history, but how it's philosophic view has always and will always relate to the world, and how learning about it and practicing it will enhance one's life. He also talks about health and even Feng Shui from the Taoist viewpoint. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in Eastern Philosophy.

History of The Tao

Cohen does a good job of laying out the relationship of The Tao to Buddhism & Confucianism in the early pages.

Once he begins teaching a Course in the more obscure teachings of Taoism Rituals and Practices I became less interested. My devotion to The Tao is based on its Philosophy, not its Science, Medicine or Magic so I can only give this book Three Stars. ***

Ken Cohen is brilliant

This is a very good introduction to Taoism.
Ken Cohen mentions a "study guide" but Audible has not supplied one unfortunatly..
It would be perfect if they did. This is why I only give 3 stars
