Tao the Way of God

This is one of the best books I found on my journey and recommend it for anyone on a spiritual journey and understanding the way life really is!

Excellent book for the spiritual seeker of ANY tradition.. taoist, hindu, christian, muslim, shaman... this transcends religion and is just about the highest goal of any religion... this book will also open your eyes to modern toxic society and why we are so lost these days... this is THE book that made me see tai chi as a complete spiritual system! Not just for health or fighting but all 3.. i sought teachers in my area but was pretty dissapointed that none of them even beleived how profound their art could be... as fate would have it, i met a teacher of waysuns lineage and have to admit that there is something to their "temple style tai chi" that i could not find in any other style i studied.. not to say this is the only guy that has it. Just that it is very rare even with the big name family lineages...

Master Liao covers everything you need in order to journey on the path back to Tao. To say I am grateful is an understatement. He has done our world a great help by putting together these ancient teachings in a modern way. For those who sincerely desire to find their way back to Tao, this is a great book to read.

Having looked for a long time on authentic, from the source writings about meditation and the Taoist way, this was a great find. This book is clear, cutting and it feels like each word is purposfully placed, and it is written by a living authorative Taoist figure in the west. It answered some questions, raised some more, and is challanging as it depicts what a connection to the power of God requires and what that creative power enables. With everything else i have read and experienced it certainly helps provide greater understanding as to where i am now and what it takes to move on. It helped to also read the deluxe study edition of the authors book, Nine Nights with a Daoist Master, to grasp his concepts and way of thinking.

This book was recommended to me by a random stranger I met one night, whom I sat and chatted with for a while about various topics, including burning questions I had about God, life, and spirituality. He told me everything I needed to know was in this book. I couldn't agree more. It brought me out of chaos and toward simplicity, and with the work I've put in already, and still intend to, I can already feel myself getting closer to God again.I definitely recommend this book to EVERYONE.

Most westerners don't understand eastern philosophy very well, so Waysun Liao wrote this book in very simply language... sometimes too simple but a little thought will make the connection between "frequency" and "spirituality". From that point on, it seems to me to be easy for a Christian to relate to the "Tao" as "God". It doesn't seem necessary to embrace "Taoism" as a religion to simply add the insights to their present religion. Excellent book.

Great book but the material is a bit on the simple, elemental side for me. It also tends to be very repetitious when describing concepts . . . over and over and over again. For someone who has been programmed since birth with heavy religion (especially Christianity, Judaism or Islam) this is probably an excellent book, if they are open-minded enough to even pick it up in the first place.

There isn't enough room to explain how I found this book, just know that it was no accident. If your looking for the meaning behind Tai'chi, this is it. If your looking not for answers, but how to find the answers, this is it.I know my purpose is huge, beyond just me. I am a part of this, but feel like time is running out. This is my path.

This book was very inspiring to me.I love Taoism and find Lao Tsu most inspiring, but apart from a translated book of Tao Te Ching commented by Brazilian Huberto Rohden and some info on the Internet, I had never read a book on TAO before. This was my first one.It begins clear and very interesting. Then it goes on a sort of stable part where it gets a little too repetitive. After that, the book ends very well.I like this book very much and find the examples most relevant and easy to understand. The author is good in exemplifying abstract things using normal daily situations.I will buy other books from this author and recommend this one to those who are willing to understand a bit of Tao Te Ching.

A must read for anyone practising tai chi. Waysun Liao writes in a clear easily understood style which is illuminated by using references in everyday life.
