Mantak Chia - Complete Tao Garden Series -36 Vo... Review
Since the full title cuts off at "36 Vo...", I am assuming you are referring to the massive "Complete Tao Garden Series" which typically comprises 36 volumes (often spanning his core teachings like the Microcosmic Orbit, Iron Shirt, Healing Tao, and Tai Chi Chi Kung).
- Official Source: Universal Healing Tao (taoist.net). They offer the "Digital Library" pass for ~$497 USD, which unlocks all 36 volumes as DRM-free PDFs and video links.
- Physical Media: eBay or specialized martial arts libraries. Authentic copies have a gold stamp of the Tao Garden logo on the spine of each DVD case.
- Caution: Avoid "999 Volumes for $99" bundled downloads. These often mix Kundalini Yoga with Taoism, which operates on different meridian pathways and can cause "energy confusion" (deviated chi).
The Complete Tao Garden Series had become more than just a collection of books for Alex; it had become a roadmap for his spiritual journey. Through the wisdom and practices shared by Mantak Chia, Alex had discovered a new way of living, one that was rooted in harmony, balance, and inner peace.
