It is often easier to illustrate a spiritual truth or principle through a story than by any other means. The books of Taoist masters Chuang Tzu and Lieh Tzu are full of interesting, entertaining, illuminating, puzzling, and often downright funny stories. They are primarily teaching stories, using narrative and character to share an aspect of Taoist thought or practice. However, most of the stories are very short, often only a paragraph or two. Solala Towler has fleshed out these stories, giving them more room to breathe, to evolve, and to develop characters into fully realized people. The insights and ideas that these wonderful stories present to us are as relevant today as they were in the Tang dynasty. To enhance their beauty as subjects for meditation and learning, these insightful stories are illustrated with stunning photographs by mountain photographer John Cleare. These add to the atmosphere of serenity and quiet reflection conveyed by Tales from the Tao, making it a perfect gift – for yourself or a loved one.
