In Beijing, clusters of neighboring "Siheyuan"(Quadrangles), low and gray, make into many small alleys, most of which orderly laid out like a chessboard, running either from south to north or east to west. This sort of alleys is called "Hutong" in Peking dialect. All these alleys are the same. When you are in it, you will find and experience that every alley has something special to talk about, as it is full of life and stories.

While in Hong kong, you can relax and enjoy the peaceful environment of the spectacular islands and country parks.

Visiting on a Friday or Saturday night, you may be overwhelmed by the enormous crowds that fill the streets, with all bars having only standing room. Most language you can hear here is English rather than Cantonese speaking.

The third city to talk about is Qingdao. As a sailing Olympic city, Qingdao is a beautiful seaside city in the southeast of Shandong Province. When you are here, never miss to go those places:

Mt. Laoshan- is different from many famous mountains in China. Lao Mountain rises from the sea level, and has a coast line of 87 kilometers, structuring a wonder on the sea.

So what do followers of the Tao in America read after...?

Laozi and Zhuangzi (or Lao Tzu and Chuang Tzu for those who keep to Wade-Giles).

I'm rather curious - because 9 out of 10 times those who are encouraged to learn the Dao seem to be pointed toward translations of those two books.

But what comes after for you folks?
I wasn't implying that there was a curriculum for it.

But back home there is access to the whole Daozang.

What is accessible in America?

It's not exactly like we've got a specific set of doctrine that we adhere to. We're all about causality, non-action, and understanding. After Lao Tzu, and Chuang Tzu, there are probably other things to read, but there is always more meaning to be found in the I Ching and Tao te Ching. Which is essentially what makes it such a wonderful philosophy. No matter how many times you read it, it will always make sense in a new way with new life experiences.

edit: You can access anything you can access back home here, provided it has been retrieved. The internet is a wonderful resource, and American capitalism is all about selling stuff. Check out Border's and Amazon.com. I guarantee you'll find whatever you're looking for.

Lao Tzu and Jalaluddin Rumi, superstars
