Thomas Cleary, PH.D., East Asian Studies, Harvard University, is editor and translator of 'The Essential Confucius, The Essential Koran, The Secret of the Golden Flower,' and 'The Art of War'.

DENG MING-DAO, author of '365 Tao'

"An interesting and novel introduction to Taoism, containing astonishing translations of Lao-tzu and Chuang-tzu with valuable commentary."
RAYMOND SMULLYAN, author of 'The Tao Is Silent'
