This book explores the Taoist Yin and Yang school of thought which has kept the Middle Path alive in its purest form in the Tai Chi T'u'. Everyday aspects of modern life are viewed through the lenses of Yin and Yang, which guide the reader onto the Middle Path, a course described by Taoist sages and Buddha himself as 'the route to enlightenment'. The Chinese term 'Middle Path' originated as an offshoot philosophy from an earlier established system of belief within Buddhism known as the 'Middle Way'. It was conceived from the concord existing at that time between Taoism and Buddhism, two profound Eastern ideologies, though to date, it only survives as a stand-alone doctrine within the Buddhist system. In Taoist circles however, it became assimilated into the body of the science as its 'Hidden Message' or 'Hidden Tao' - visually represented as the curved dividing line that separates the Yin and 'Yang symbols. This book explores the Taoist Yin and Yang school of thought which has kept the Middle Path alive in its purest form in the Tai Chi T'u'.
Looking at the deeper spiritual learnings in the Yin and Yang philosophy and symbolism Peter Newton's writings provide a refreshing new way of looking at life, at our current lifestyle status and possibilities of future developments. Everyday aspects of modern life are viewed through the lenses of Yin and Yang, which guide the reader onto the Middle Path, a course described by Taoist sages and Buddha himself as 'the route to enlightenment'.
