Wordless Posted Tuesday at 03:05 PM Hello everybody. I've always had an interest in various esoteric knowledge and practices. Now that I’m delving deeper into Daoism after reading the Dao De Jing, i figured i might as well join a community that may share some of my interests. I'm currently reading/studying Zhuangzi - The complete writings, as well as Neiyeh (Through Harold D. Roths book Original Tao). I'm in my 30s and I'm Danish Have a great day. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You might read a hundred or so more books, but as far as philosophical Taoism is concerned everything you need is already to be found in the Tao Te Ching, the Chuang tse and the Nei-yeh.

Thank you (and @Apech) for the welcome Haha yes, i find Neiyeh to be a very interesting read. I have spent some time skulking around the forums the past few days before officially joining today. The Daoist Textual Studies section definitely having been one of my lurking targets 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
