Liu, 14th Master of the Dragon Gate School of Taoism, and filmmaker Blank here offer a guide to one of the lesser-known and more esoteric spiritual traditions: the Dragon Gate School of Taoism, which fuses elements of yoga, Buddhism, and Confucianism, helping users to apply martial arts, chi-gung, and meditation for improved wealth, health, and sexuality. VERDICT An eye-opener for most Westerners, this book reveals a hidden tradition of Eastern spirituality and will be welcomed by many spiritual readers.
