Synopsis

In this guide, James Miller emphasizes the role of Daoism as a living tradition not only in China, but also in the West. He examines the classical roots of Daoism and Chinese mysticism, exploring such key areas as cosmology, festivals, meditation and shamanic journeys. He also explains the link between Daoism, ecology and the growing popularity of Chinese medicine in the West.
