Written by an unknown author, \u003ci\u003eSeven Taoist Masters \u003c\/i\u003e is the story of six men and one woman who overcome tremendous hardships on the journey to self-mastery. These characters and their teacher, Wang Ch'ung-yang, are all historical figures who lived in the Southern Sung (1127-1279) and Yuan (1271-1368) dynasties. Wang is regarded as the greatest patriarch of the Complete Reality school, a highly purified branch of Taoism having a strong affinity with Zen Buddhism. The novel brings to life the essentials of Taoist philosophy and practice, both through the instructions offered by Wang--on topics such as the cultivation of mind and body, meditation techniques, and overcoming the obstacles to enlightenment--and through the experiences of the characters.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53671867678993,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781590301760.jpg?v=1781517570","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/books-seven-taoist-masters-by-eva-wong","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
