Think of its Prologue and 64 Chapters as the Eastern philosophical equivalent of Kahlil Gibran's \u003ci\u003eThe Prophet\u003c\/i\u003e.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach chapter is composed of a teaching and a commentary. The teachings- from a mysterious sage of Mount Shan- are concise and dense, somewhat like the enigmatic pronouncements that might come from a reclusive mystic. The commentaries- offered by Old Shu, a remarkable hunchback living a life of contented simplicity- are wonderfully sensible and wise, somewhat like our own deepest awareness when we are introspective, honest, trusting and intuitive.    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Sage's Way\u003c\/b\u003e leads readers toward an awareness that will inspire inner strength and quiet serenity. This is the best of Oriental wisdom, the essence of both Taoism and Zen presented with a grounded clarity that is both deeply challenging and elegantly simple. As such, this book is likely to become a lifetime companion, offering day-to-day guidance while providing poignant readings for special occasions.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor of internationally sold books \u003ci\u003eThe Tao of Relationships, The Tao of Being, The Tao of Sailing, Zen Brushpoems, The Tao of Zen, The New Lao Tzu\u003c\/i\u003e, Ray Grigg is eminently qualified to offer this work to those who are seeking a balanced and harmonious way through the sometimes bewildering challenges of ordinary life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trafford Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47127802773744,"sku":"9781412221290","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781412221290_p0.jpg?v=1763725707","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781412221290","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
