Editor reviews
A biographical narrative that traces the life of the Chinese mystic Saihung Kwan. The story follows Kwan's training in martial arts, qigong, herbalism, and other traditional Chinese practices, from the time he was a boy living in Taoist monasteries in the 1920s through the horrors of Japan's invasion of China in the 1930s. Throughout the story, Taoist teachings are interwoven with fantastic stories set among exotic locales. This is a book that has been beloved for years by those interested in Eastern medicine, and performer Ronin Wong's deep voice makes for a satisfying listen.
Summary
Portrays the life of the Chinese mystic, Saihung Kwan, and depicts his pursuit of the spiritual goals of the religion of Taoism. Deng Ming-Dao is the author of eight books, including 365 Tao, Everyday Tao, Scholar Warrior, and Chronicles of Tao.
His books have been translated into fifteen languages. He studied qigong, philosophy, meditation, and internal martial arts with Taoist master Kwan Saihung for thirteen years, and studied with two other masters before that. He is an award-winning graphic designer and fine artist whose work is in several collections, including those of the Brooklyn Museum.

Great
I didn’t want it to end!! the story was riveting but also has so much great information packed into it. For anyone with a love of martial arts and the weird and wonderful tales about the powers of the old Daoist masters it’s invaluable!

a beautiful introduction to taoism
this book teaches so many taoist lesson and toaist philosophies through the story. i find some books can be a bit dry when sloely focusing the philosophy and teachings but this is so easy to listen to and connect with. i have already listened to it 3 times and will do so again.

Great storytelling lets you to get a taste of Tao.
Short but revealing story about the Taoist monk placed at the beginning of 20 century China. Childhood to becoming a Taoist monk, the story mesmerises your imagination by that magical world. Totally worth listening/reading.

Wonderful
What did you like most about The Wandering Taoist?
I really loved following this wonderful journey. I mainly listen to books on mindfulness, philosophy, religion and science. This story (and its much more than that) was easy to listen to and fun at the same time. Highly recommended.

Looking forward to hearing parts two and three!
Amazing biographic telling and beautifully read, easy to listen to and inspirational. I'm immensely looking forward to hearing parts two and three of Kwan Saihung's life story; I only hope that they release them. Also, keep an eye out for Deng Ming-Dao's other titles; Scholar Warrior and 365 Tao.

This was the book that I needed right now.
I had been getting bogged down in studying Daoist thinking, but this book has gone a long way in helping me to clarify my thoughts and hopefully my practice.
