ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
This book has been over a decade in the making. I thank foremost
those Taoist Masters who were kind enough to share their knowl-
edge with me, but never imagined it would be taught to westerners.
Such is the Tao.
I acknowledge a special debt to H. Reid Shaw for his encour-
agement after I had just arrived in America and for his hard work
on an initial manuscript.
I thank the many contributors essential to its final form: the
artist, Susan MacKay, Gunther Weil, Rylin Malone, and all my
students for their feedback, Master T.K. Shih, Kim Wang, and
Juan Li for their fine artwork; Jeffrey Antin, and Marcia Kerwit for
their additions; my assistant Jo Ann Cutreria for typing the man-
uscript into the computer and endless help; Daniel Bobek for his
long hours at the computer, and Barbara Somerfield for her pa-
tience as my publisher.
A special heartfelt thanks to Michael Winn for his selfless
labors, and for saying so eloquently and insightfully in English
what my Chinese does not permit.
Without my wife Maneewan the book would have been aca-
demic. For her gifts, my gratitude and love.
A WORD OF CAUTION
Any man suffering from venereal disease or any local illness of his
sexual organs or prostate gland should consult a medical doctor
and a qualified instructor of Taoist Esoteric Yoga before practicing
the methods taught here.
