Dragon Gate Taoism, a 700-year-old tradition which incorporates Buddhist and Confucian teachings, revolves around the concept of alchemy. Not the turning of straw into gold, but rather the turning of the physical body into a spiritual force. Once the physical essence develops that spirit, it can synchronize with the energy of the universe.
The path to spiritual alchemy has been passed down through 14 generations to Dr. Steven Liu. Along with student and co-author Jonathan Blank, Liu shares his wisdom in SECRETS OF DRAGON GATE: Ancient Taoist Secrets for Health, Wealth, and Happiness. This complete guide provides a wonderful introduction to the philosophy of Dragon Gate.
