For thousands of years the sexual principles and techniques presented here were taught by Taoist masters in secret only to a small number of people (sworn to silence), in the royal courts and esoteric circles of China. This is the first book to make this ancient knowledge available to the West. The foundation of healing love is the cultivation, transformation, and circulation of sexual energy, known as jing. Jing energy is creative, generative energy that is vital for the development of chi (vital life-force energy) and shen (spiritual energy), which enables higher practices.

Kína i.e. hatodik századának két szellemóriása: Lao-ce és Konfu-ce. Tanításuk látszólag ellentétes, a mélyben mégis egybeér. Lao-ce a tao (az Út) világrendjébe történő, nem cselekvő beilleszkedést tanítja, míg Konfu-ce azt vallja: a bölcs fáradhatatlanul hirdesse felismert igazságát. A ma uralkodói trezorjaikban és hadseregükben bíznak. Ezért mondja már Platón, hogy ma már csak "demokráciák és önkényuralmak váltogatják egymást". A közép ismerete elveszett.

A taoista gondolkodók műveiben minduntalan visszatérő motívum, hogy amikor valamelyik tanítvány a mestertől azt kérdezi, mi a tao, a mester mély hallgatásba merül. Mikor a tanítvány figyelmezteti, hogy mit kérdezett, a másik így szól: hiszen a mester megmondta, a tao annyi mint hallgatni. De nem csak ezt jelenti, hanem azt is, hogy nem cselekedni, nem törekedni, nem tevékenykedni, hanem lenni. A tao annyi, mint a földi lét minden mulandó esetlegességét levetni, és a változatlan, örök Nagy Lét békéjét elérni.

"Il vero potere è l'umiltà". "L'eloquenza eccessiva, dimostra debolezza". Ma soprattutto, "il vuoto... può contenere tutto!" Pensaci su! In questa raccolta tratta dai alcuni dei più celebri pensieri di Lao Tse, forse il più importante filosofo cinese mai esistito, gli spunti di riflessione sono diversi. A volte pungenti come spine, a volte dolci come il miele; tutti comunque, allo stesso modo, accarezzano l'animo, quietano lo spirito, e danno una giusta collocazione all'uomo, alla sua vita, ai suoi sentimenti, alle sue relazioni.

The "Dao De Jing" exists on the border between poetry and philosophy, embracing both mythos and logos. Its poetic form can stand alone, but it is enriched when its timeless ideas are analyzed and explained through careful scholarship. For example: "He who knows others is knowledgeable. He who knows himself is wise." These words resemble Socrates’ account of his own quest in Plato’s "Apology". Ancient philosophy, both in China and in Greece, places self-knowledge at the center of the search for wisdom.
