What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Cleary has brought Buddhist, Taoist, and I Ching texts from Chinese into English with the energy of a person carrying antique furniture out of a burning house. He has translated or retranslated more sacred texts from Chinese than any other scholar this century. His books, full of ancients’ advice, speak to a large, spiritually hungry audience.”—David Schneider, San Francisco Chronicle
“Chock-full of timely advice for mental, physical, and spiritual health… . Here are the keys to understand and practice reality in our everyday lives, whatever our religious or philosophical inclination.”—Lightworks
