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.
Synopsis
Deng Ming-Dao's recent Scholar Warrior was one of the first books to reveal the many enlightening ways Taoist principles may be applied in contemporary everyday life and thought. Now the author makes Taoism even more accessible and practical with this treasury of life-enhancing daily readings.
Synopsis

There is no language of the holy.
The sacred lies in the ordinary.

A brief, poetic aphorism provides the theme, followed by a clear, insightful mediation on the day′s Taoist principle.

Synopsis
"Bark, George," says George's mother, and George goes: "Meow," which definitely isn't right, because George is a dog.
And so is his mother, who repeats, "Bark, George." And George goes, "Quack, quack."
What's going on with George? Find out in this hilarious new picture book from Jules Feiffer.
