Great Insight

This story of how the iChing came to be touched me deeply because it answered questions I've had for a long time. The story form and Wu Wei's purity of thought spoke to me in a way that I could hear better than any of the dozens of other books I've read lately. I hope if you're drawn to this book, you give yourself the treat of reading it!

A Tale of the I Ching: How the Book of Changes began by WuWei

The author knew how to explain the I Ching to a person who is completely ignorant in philosophy .

Wise and inspiring

This is a wonderful little book. In a way it reminds me of Celestine Prophecy in that it tells an uplifting, heart-warming story that teaches and inspires. As it says on the cover, it is truly,"An Enchanted Journey into the Origins and Inner Workings of the I Ching." I loved the way it describes the relationship between the great sage Fu Hsi and his young student Tan. We see how the teacher elevates the awareness of his student with a profound and ineffable love, in the tradition of all great Guru/disciple relationships.
