Barb and JC Hendee have very kindly agreed to join us and answer questions about their book Dhampir which is the first book in the Noble Dead series.  Please join us in welcoming them both to the site.

Taoism

Tao tells the basic truth. Birth and death, man and women, good and evil are the very nature of universe. There is no absolute “Right” or “Wrong”. Every thing is relative and may change in time. Let us try to apply to some situations and see what it may mean:

Be happy in life

One is true rich and happy if feels having enough in life with nothing unfinished, nothing to fight about and nothing to complain about.

A richer is not rich if feels never enough in life and thus can’t be happy indeed.

Environment Protection

To live harmony with the universe and go alone with the nature. This is what Chinese have been told for 5,000 year.

The industrial revolution introduced by the “West” has brought great disasters to the environment. The whole world has to suffer.

Receiving from nature has to be accomplished with giving back to nature. Growing trees first and then trees can be cut.
