“It is not surprising that the classic of Daoism is called The Classic of the Way and Its Virtue, because it is, after all, virtue and behavior that reveal our philosophy of life and allow us to be of service in the world. Robert Peng’s The Way of Virtue is an expression of this great truth. His book masterfully intertwines ethics and Daoist wisdom, providing tangible and practical insights into everyday life. The inclusion of transformative practices like the Wogu hand seal, the Ong Ahh Hong chant, and nuanced descriptions of Healing Sounds enriches the narrative, making it a compelling read.
