520    "This authorized biography of contemporary Taoist master 
       Wang Liping (1949- ), an 18th generation transmitter of 
       Dragon Gate Taoism, tells the true story of his 
       apprenticeship in Taoist wizardry, as well as the 
       specialized body of knowledge, mystical wisdom and 
       ritualized practice accumulated and refined over eleven 
       centuries. The book opens with a seemingly chance 
       encounter with three Taoist elders that changed Wang's 
       life forever when he was a young boy. What follows is a 
       philosophical quest in a coming-of-age tale like no other,
       playing out in mountainside temples and remote reaches of 
       China. Wang's story parallels that of the Dalai Lama, as--
       like Tibetan Buddhists--Dragon Gate Taoists identify, 
       raise and train specially chosen youngsters to become the 
       holders, guardians and transmitters of their ancient, 
       esoteric spiritual wisdom. While few of us will become 
       spiritual gurus like Wang, his story speaks clearly and 
       concisely to modern readers who are on their own "chosen 
       paths," seeking their own forms of self-cultivation, 
       enlightenment, wisdom and a life of greater harmony and 
       truth."--|cProvided by publisher
