This may work well for an already enlightened Taoist Sage, but for the rest of us, following a spiritual path involves ethical, moral, and practical guidelines. As author and translator Gregory Ripley (Li Guan, 理觀) explains, the little-known 6th-century Taoist text called the \u003ci\u003eBai Yao Lu\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eStatutes of the Hundred Remedies\u003c\/i\u003e) was created as a practical guide to what enlightened or sagely behavior looks like—and each of the 100 spiritual remedies are just as relevant today as they were when written more than 1,500 years ago. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePresenting a new translation of the \u003ci\u003eBai Yao Lu\u003c\/i\u003e for the contemporary world, Ripley provides insightful commentary for each of the Hundred Remedies, showing how they relate to Taoist meditation practice and how they can help us navigate the emotional and social challenges we all experience. He explains how each short verse of the Hundred Remedies presents a spiritual precept in a positive way, not as a restriction or commandment that must not be broken but as a solution to the problems encountered in daily life as well as on the spiritual path. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis guidebook to Taoist spiritual living will help you learn to effortlessly go with the flow, deepen your meditation practice, and find the natural balance in all things.","brand":"Inner Traditions\/Bear \u0026 Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42371244851261,"sku":"9781644118993","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/0838\/9949\/files\/9781644118993_p0.jpg?v=1771589275","url":"https:\/\/www.tatteredcover.com\/products\/9781644118993","provider":"Tattered Cover","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
