In his words, Lao Tzu (or Laozi), author of the Dao De Jing, embodies qigong principles, advocating the cultivation of mind and body. Only when we know qigong can we know Lao Tzu—and only when we know Lao Tzu can we know the Dao De Jing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLao Tzu's writing has been read, translated, and discussed around the globe. It deals with principles that transcend time and culture. That is why this ancient text has been reimagined countless times in books on business, relationships, and parenting—but never with a focus on the art of qigong. This makes the Dao De Jing: A Qigong Interpretation unique and indispensable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany chapters in the Dao De Jing purely talk about qigong, especially the practices of regulating the body, breathing, mind, qi, and spirit. Dr. Yang, a renowned author, scholar, and martial artist, devoted decades to researching and writing this book. He interprets and analyzes the 81 chapters of the Dao De Jing. His commentary will bring new insight, inspiration, and depth to your understanding of Lao Tzu's words—and to your qigong practice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book includes:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe complete Dao De Jing in English and its original Chinese text\u003cbr\u003eDr. Yang, Jwing-Mings commentary and analysis of each chapter\u003cbr\u003eNumerous illustrations and diagrams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Dao De Jing: A Qigong Interpretation is not a book of instruction.
