Blofeld compiled this 1963 translation of the Book of Changes (Yi Jing) intending to present primarily the divinatory aspects of the I Ching in the notes and explanatory chapters. In his efforts he had the assistance of several learned native Chinese I Ching scholars. As useful as it is informative, the book includes not only the text and commentaries for all 64 hexagrams (with changing lines), but as well the background of the Book of Change, its symbolical basis, method of divination and guide to interpretation; and a variety of tables and diagrams for assisting interpretation. Blofeld's translation is easier to understand than any other version of this classic.
Blofeld was born in London in 1913 and lived a large part of his life in China and Hong Kong. He was a practising Buddhist all his life and wrote extensively about Asian philosophies particularly Taoism and Chinese Buddhism. He died in Bangkok in 1987.
