Seven Taoist Masters by E Wong
History and legend are interwoven in this folk novel that both entertains and instructs. Written by an unknown author, Seven Taoist Masters 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.Eva Wong is a self-taught scholar and practitioner of the Pre-Celestial Way and Full Reality lineages of Taoist arts. Several works on Taoism and related themes have been written and translated by her, including Taoism: An Essential Guide, Cultivating Stillness, and A Master Course in Feng-shui.
