Synopsis
This collection of writing on the Chinese “inner martial art” ranges from the TAI CHI CHUAN CHING of 14th-century monk Chang San-Feng (who allegedly discovered the style while watching a snake fight a crane) to elaborations, insights and songs from 20th-century masters Yang Cheng-Fu and Cheng Man Ching. Students, instructors, scholars, and the merely curious will find plenty of engaging instruction and history here. Tai Chi, which deals with accessing and coordinating the chi (breath), shen (spirit), and shin (strength), forms--along with focus on the aligning of one’s inner and outer energies--an all-inclusive method of exercise, focused meditation, and deep relaxation. Leading Tai Chi scholar Benjamin P. Lo has taken obvious care in ensuring these translations flow in a manner as eloquent and poetic as the movements themselves, helping beginners grasp the sometimes intimidatingly profound concepts presented for the simple truths they are. For anyone who seeks a path to enlightenment, a method of lowering stress, or just some food for thought, this little book should prove an inexhaustible source of inspiration and wisdom.
