Reseña del libro "Yi Jing Ethics: Lessons of a Daoist Master from the Wudang Mountains (en Inglés)"
Yi Jing Ethics: Lessons of a Daoist Master from the Wudang Mountains lays the groundwork for any type of divination technique from ancient times to modern China. It skilfully traverses along the moral and ethical tenets necessary to gain access and establish communion with the higher deities and spirits mandatory for efficacious and truthful prognostications. Steeped in Daoism and its theories, the abbot of the Five Immortals Teacher, Li Shifu, takes the reader on a journey around the framework of being a modest, faithful and compassionate diviner, entirely in line with the Daoist cultivation of performing merits and the Confucian virtue of being a noble person.Yi Jing Ethics: Lessons of a Daoist Master from the Wudang Mountains is a precursor and preview to a much larger tome on using the Yijing for healing, estimated to take several more years to be complete in its entirety and will contain a comprehensive practically applicable divinatory method for healing. This early release is warranted as it serves the vital purpose to internalize its key tenets before progressing any further.Each chapter succinctly divulges the Yi Jing's virtues and its relationship to karma resulting from castings, its requirements including incantations in Chinese, English and pinyin for ease of learning, as well as illustrating the procedure for offering incense. It is rounded off by legendary stories and contemporary accounts of Li Shifu's castings which reinforce and demonstrate the points made within. By doing so, it, therefore, brings a new appreciation for the milieu of an indigenous, unadulterated Yi Jing practice within the Daoist and native religious communities - part worship, part unity with the higher entities to gain a glimpse through the crack in the wall separating present from future for aiding humanity.Therefore, this booklet is intended to internalize the Yijing's key tenets before progressing any further with one's Yi studies, build the foundation for bettering the world through fortune-telling according to the character and nature of the dao and in order to reduce, instead of accumulating, bad karma. Otherwise, with the lack thereof, the dangers of falling into the trap of commerce, arrogance and egoism are simply too grave.
