“Tao can only be felt and experienced. It is something you live, day by day, moment by moment. It’s the omnipresent oneness beyond ephemeral phenomena that expresses itself in everything. "
Ilchi Lee, an enlightened Tao master from S.Korea and New York Times author of 40+ books, has laid out a path to living Tao every day. Along this path he guides you to an understanding of the meaning of birth, death, and everything in between, building a foundation for living a complete and whole life.
Key to productive discussions -
Before the group begins please get a copy of the book. We will read two chapters before each meeting. Each week's gathering will focus on the chapters we've read ahead of the meeting. The first meeting will cover the introduction. Each meeting after will cover 2 of the 12 chapters of the book.
You can order a new or used copy HERE at abebooks.com or choose your favorite bookseller.
The Tao is the ultimate truth & substance of life. It is what all of humanity’s spiritual seekers have been pursing, and it is complete oneness. It is the principle of life energy flowing behind all things in the cosmos, and it is the ultimate wholeness to which all things, on becoming one, return. Although it is all things in existence, the Tao is also the source and background that causes them to exist.
~ Ilchi Lee

Joyce has attended many sessions at MLC over the years, including meditation retreats and classes with Jerry Askew and David Patterson. She’s been a lifelong seeker, reader, thinker and meditator and finds discovering various spiritual paths to be a fascinating and enriching pursuit. This book, “The Living Tao: Timeless Principles For Everyday Enlightenment” has been especially resonant and she’d enjoy sharing thoughts with others.
