Master Hua-Ching Ni uses straightforward language and personal experiences, as well as traditional stories and teachings of the ancient masters, to impart the wisdom of Taoism, the Integral Way. His teachings promote a simple, natural, healthy, and happy way of life that lays the foundation for spiritual self-cultivation.

Among the topics he discusses in short, accessible passages are:

  • Basic spiritual self-protection
  • Self-reliance
  • Emotional balance
  • Do's and don'ts for a healthy, natural lifestyle
  • Sleeping and dreaming
  • Diet
