In The Way of Virtue, Robert Peng has brought to life those ancient Daoist and Buddhist teachings that can transform our understanding and way of being in the world. He writes with an accessible simplicity that lays out a profound map of spiritual insight, and invites us to engage with life-changing practices that have borne fruit for thousands of years. His many examples are incisively apt, often expressed with a lightness and humor that captivates the reader. It’s rare to come across a book that is so comprehensive in its scope, so practical in its application, and so inspiring in its effect. Highly recommended for anyone wishing to explore for themselves the great illuminating mystery of Dao.” ―Joseph Goldstein, author of Mindfulness

“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.

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. Whether you are new to Asian healing arts or an experienced practitioner, The Way of Virtue will inspire and guide you to a new level of understanding and vibrant well-being.” ―Kenneth Cohen, author of The Way of Qigong
