Dao on Xorceria

Recommended readings

The knowledge of these books is not required for joining the Daoistic meditations on-line or "Triple Cultivation" course, but is very useful, especially if you want to practice individually, independently from meditation group. Also, these books do not cover the subject entirely - that is just what I found the very most inspiring and helpful for my work.

...and last, but not least, (perhaps you should grab these first if you're already high on the Universal Subjects):

  • Terry and Lyn Pratchett - all their books, especially from Ringworld series, published by Victor Gollancz Ltd.

Some say, that Pratchett did more for global consciousness evolution than anyone else - either in the East or in the West!

I also would like to express my gratitude to all authors and translators, whose work is mentioned here. It is true, that all sentient beings are on the Path-Tao, and all of them are aware of it in their own, special and unrepeatable way. But it is also true, that dedicated workings of some help others making great steps on their own way. That is true also with me. May the Force be with You!
