  • another gentle, spoiled, self-absorbed now-Chinese speaking person has figured it all out, on a book that has been translated through serious study over thousands of years, another modern master with no backgound knowledge of the surrounding time period the book was written in, like many modern master yoga gurus, zen masters, tai-chi experts, all followed by needy people, to the gentle, spoiled, self-absorbed heroes.
