Discourse on Transforming Inner Nature: Hua Xing Tan

This wonderful and remarkable book by Wang Fengyi (1864–1937) is a true testament to the benefits of Daoist spiritual cultivation. At age thirty-five, having become aware of the repercussions and implications of emotions on his own health condition, Wang attained the Dao and began spreading his teachings. Furthermore one of his most remarkable accomplishments was the founding of countless schools for young women, thus making education accessible to them on a large scale at a time when Confucianism prevailed. Wang Fengyi’s teachings are like thoughtful and profound prose that can allow people to transform their Self, their Body and their Spirit. If you seek to help others or bring wellness to yourself, these teachings can be enormously beneficial, offering direction and great insights into your own emotional state and therefore potential healing at the deepest level.
As Daoist practitioners, Johan Hausen and Jonas Akers have done an excellent job in translating this valuable treatise, bringing additional authenticity to the transmission of this work and propagation of Wang Fengyi’s teachings.
