From the author of "365 Tao" and a leading authority on Taoist
practice and philosophy comes a completely innovative translation
of the classic text of Eastern wisdom, the I Ching.
The I Ching, or Book of Changes, is an ancient manual for
divining the future. Its basic text is traditionally attributed to
the Chinese King Wen, the Duke of Zhou, and the philosopher
Confucius. By tossing coins, rolling dice, using a computer, or,
more traditionally, counting yarrow stalks, one can create a
seemingly random combination of heads or tails, odd or even, yin or
yang, to construct six lines (for example, solid for odd numbers or
broken for even numbers). These six lines make up a hexagram that
provides advice, predictions, and answers to questions on topics
from love and career to family and finance.
While known mostly as a tool of divination, the I Ching is also
a repository of centuries of wisdom. Most of the existing
translations offer either dense, scholarly commentary or little
more than fortune-cookie platitudes, but in "The Living I Ching"
Deng Ming-Dao takes a more holistic approach. His new translation
recovers the true wisdom and philosophy of this ancient classic, so
that the I Ching becomes more than just a book of fortune-telling
-- it becomes a manual for living.
