History and legend are interwoven in this classic folk novel that both entertains and explores the philosophy and practices of Taoism

Written by an unknown author,Seven Taoist Mastersis the story of six men and one woman who overcome tremendous hardships on the journey to self-mastery. These characters and their teacher, Wang Ch'ung-yang, are all historical figures who lived in the Southern Sung (1127-1279) and Yuan (1271-1368) dynasties. Wang is regarded as the greatest patriarch of the Complete Reality school, a highly purified branch of Taoism having a strong affinity with Zen Buddhism.

At once an entertaining novel and a Taoist training manual,Seven Taoist Mastersbrings to life the essentials of Taoist philosophy and practice, both through the instructions offered by Wang-on topics such as the cultivation of mind and body, meditation techniques, and overcoming the obstacles to enlightenment-and through the experiences of its unforgettable characters.
