3.0 out of 5 stars Don't let the title fool you..., July 10, 1998

This review is from: Kung Fu Meditations and Chinese Proverbial Wisdom (Paperback)

A small, somewhat uninspired format that contains many meditations and a small section of Chinese proverbs. It isn't exactly an expansive review of any type of Chinese philosophy, nor will it cure any ills, but it does give a curt lesson in meditation and material to start on. And it travels well.

This review is from: Kung Fu Meditations and Chinese Proverbial Wisdom (Paperback)

This is a very small and easy to read book. A good introducton to meditation. The book is mainly a small collection of chinese sayings and philosophy. You can read it cover to cover within an hour; but to study the words of wisdom will take a lifetime.

this tiny book is for all of us who have had emotional problems and are tempted to coveteousness and materialism. My favorite quote is " He who knows that enough is enough is rich".
