Thomas Cleary Taoist Classics

I have finally bought myself copies of The Collected Translations of Thomas Cleary of The Taoist Classics 1, 2 and 3, published by Shambhala. These books, and all the constituent books therein, are so appropriate to our practice, and so wise in their insight, that I see them as essential. Cleary's translations of Tao Te Ching, Chuang-tzu, Wen-tzu, etc, are by far my preferred ones, coming from what one senses to be be a real and deep practice of his own. 'Understanding Reality', 'The Inner Teachings of Taoism' and 'Vitality, Energy, Spirit' are outstanding in their clarity, pointing out the Way with great compassion. I will add the ISBNs to the reading list soon.
