Informative read for the prospective Taoist
This was well organized and easy to read and filled with interesting history. I found the author’s tone very refreshing. For religion seekers this is a must read before making a final choice where to direct your spiritual energy. As for me, I’ll stick with Western Yoga :)Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
