Title: Buyer Beware
Review: BUYER BEWARE.This is an excellent commentary on an ancient text, not an effective How-To Manual.It did not "cultivate stillness" in me -- quite the contrary.I am a moderate person in all things, but these misogynistic concepts of "Male is Pure/ Female is Impure"made my blood boil. Yes, I realize this is not literal.However, one look at history and society is enough to tell us that these subtle ways of thinking led to horrendous deeds and injustices heaped upon women for centuries.I could not read more than a few pages without my "stillness" evaporating into "wrath".Call it weakness -- or strength -- but my sense of justice outweighed my search for stillness.Contemporary works on the Tao are much more accessible and inspiring to me.
