Each of the eighty-one teachings presented by Taoist scholar and poet Brian Walker are rich with wisdom, mystery, and startling enlightenment. Average Rating:

If you wish to see the Great Oneness then rid yourself of your self. Division is contrary to the nature of the Tao so rid yourself of the concept of separation, such as life and death, male and female, etc. By following the Tao you will gain immortality. My teachings are simple. Indeed! So we have: If you desire something then dont desire it. If you want to see something that can't be ... Read More
