Scholar Warrior

In this beautifully illustrated offering of ancient wisdom, Deng Ming-Dao draws on the teachings of expert practitioners of the spiritual arts, including his Taoist master Kwan Saihung. Deng shows how Taoist philosophy and practice may be integrated into contemporary Western lifestyles for complete physical, mental, and spiritual health. Scholar Warrior offers an abundance of philosophical and practical information regarding health, meditation, sexuality, death, and transcendence.


Deng Ming-Dao is the author of 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. He is an award-winning graphic designer and fine artist whose work is in several collections, including those of the Brooklyn Museum and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.

“Deng Ming-Dao skillfully translates timeless Taoist wisdom which combines mind and heart, reflecting a sound spiritual tradition.” -Dan Millman, author of Way of the Peaceful Warrior
