Read in January, 1990
recommends it for:

This lovely book is a description of an ancient Chinese meditation technique, and the underlying philosophy. Cleary also translated this work, but I find his rendition more pedantic than Wilhelm's. By practicing this straightforward meditation, many people have found many benefits. Not only does it quiet the mind and focus inner being, it also works to bring the body into a harmonic state.

jedan od onih klasika koje sam "morala" procitati i na kraju se pitam: "Zasto?"
