 My first book on Tao October 19, 2008
This book so far has not given me anty "WOW Moments", but the short stories are a fast read. I am going to look at other Tao books before I read this one again.
!YOU MUST READ! September 14, 2008
This book is cool and full of messages. If read with an open mind, the world around you becomes bigger. The author heals, inspires and enriches you with wisdows.
Tao 365 contains 365 lessons that expects readers to read the book within a year, if read on the basics of one lesson per day. Every page contains a title topic with a concise, but very meaningful message that is ultimately meant express your relationship with universe.
I recommend this book for everyone who hasn't read it.

A modern-day Tao Te Ching March 2, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Deng Ming-Dao is, in my opinion, a modern day Lao Tzu. He writes with clarity and a simplistic beauty and thus captures the essense of Taoism, managing to apply it to modern life. Much like Lao Tzu, he seems to also write this book out of necessity for the times, unlike people such as Wayne W Dyer who seem to be attempting to cash in on the "new age" market.
A Worthy Daily Meditation Guide October 11, 2007
I have the first edition, first printing of this book and have read through it randomly several times. This year starting on January 1st, I decided to read it straight through on a daily basis, as Deng Ming-Dao no doubt intended it to be read. I have delighted in some of the insightful, inspiring verse and meditations on common every day situations; some of these have seemed deeply profound while simply stated. Meditation #82, July 1st, entitled "Flow" begins with, "If the boulders are moved,//Even a river will change its flow." And continues, "So it is with the flow of our lives.... The freedom to choose and to change belongs to us." However, there are other meditations or ideas that have left me cold. Today's meditation, in fact, completely turned me off when he stated that you cannot find the Tao if you live in an urban environment. That cities "stink," literally, and they are too noisy for anyone to become "fully realized." That cannot be true. The Tao, or enlightenment, may be experienced in any time or place as it has nothing to do with time and place. But Mr. Ming-Dao is entitled to his opinion as this is his understanding of the Tao philosophy. Overall, the work is worthy of daily or random reading. That this work has had more than 30 print runs over the last 15 years speaks to its enduring wisdom.
