Lions of Virtue is a meditative journey that reveals spiritual wisdom with every step, an expression of the Taoist way of being that the author remembers of his former lifetimes devoted to this ancient form of Chinese mysticism. This book will be appreciated by those who have an appetite for spirituality, ancientry, mythology, and poetry. The poetic metre of Lions of Virtue is inspired by the author's spiritual Stillness.
Lions of Virtue is a contemplative vision of the mystical state of being at one with Tao, the eternal "Way" cultivated for millennia by Taoist mystics in ancient China. Rather than trying to explain the "Way that cannot be spoken", in the silent heart of the most esoteric teachings in the East, the author illustrates these ancient precepts through a fictional tale in rhythmic prose with elements of Early-modern English, a phonetic device that works well here. Lions of Virtue is also a parable for our times of the long running battle between the forces of the Dark and the Light that is now looming in our world.
