A revealing guide to China's guide to the vast religious and spiritual
heritage
This book explains why to understand the soul of China you must see the
sacred in China, which is there in the designs of the buildings, the
street plans of the cities, in the household shrines at the back of
shops, and in the concept that the very land of China itself is sacred.
It presents the fundamental sacred ideas that lie at the heart of this
ancient land, and is also a guidebook which enters into the spirit of
the Dao, through which the culture and traditions of China are brought
to life. This new edition has been updated to reflect the rapid
developments that have occurred in China in the last 20 years. This is
an absolute must-read for all those visiting China, whether for business
or pleasure, looking for insight into this complex, varied, and
influential nation.
