The Way of Virtue

This book is especially timely, given the turmoil in today's world. Meditations to Cultivate Peace in an Imperfect World isn't just a poetic subtitle, it is an accurate reflection of what these practices offer when applied consistently. After practicing for a year, I feel calmer, more grounded and rejuvenated. My patience and compassion towards myself and others has grown. I have also experienced a growing sense of inner guidance and wisdom, helping me make meaningful choices in my life.

The first part of The Way of Virtue explains the Dao more clearly than any other book I have read. From the first page, I felt a sense of excitement as this book provided access to ancient and potent wisdom in a lucid, relatable and practical manner. Robert Peng’s sincerity, authority and mastery come through in every word.

It was in this second iteration of working through these exercises that I began to experience bubbles of thought and emotion that I didn’t even know existed…slowly rising from deep within, rising to the surface where they were released.. like a bottle of bubbly water so still, quiet,…quiescent .. until the bottle is opened and the pressurized water decompresses….so many bubbles suddenly appear rising to the surface.. pop pop pop so many thoughts… emotions… hidden.. suppressed … rising and then pop pop pop …gone

The practices in part one are profound. After practicing them, the body feels invigorated and refreshed. If all I had accomplished was completing part one… that alone would have been enough…

But this book (and associated online course) have much more to share…. to teach us…

Starting part two in this book… and later via the online course… I did not expect to…
