Includes index.

In this book the author attempts to give a practical introduction to what would take a library to document and half a lifetime of discipleship to understand.
Be forewarned, this does not even begin to attempt to explain the basics of the religions and practices of China, Taoism and Buddhism.
That having been said, it does explain a lot of what most Westerners will find in shops and basic practices they might see, for example the meanings of the figures of the Eight Immortals (but without their stories) and basic understandings of karma and how to resolve it (but without the meanings of the mantra or instructions on emptiness meditations).
It should be seen as a practical guide to some practices and a very brief survey of practices which may give a spiritual seeker enough information to decide if this may be a direction to investigate in more depth.
It bears the same relation to these traditions as a newspaper sun sign astrology column has to Hermetics or Greek religion and mythology
Overall the book is worth having and worth reading but is not a substitue for a guide or authentic instruction on the traditions
