Do Nothing and Do Everything
Mentioned in Martha Stewart Living, August 2010
The power of the Tao has accompanied the author through the journey of his life, from pupil during the Chinese Cultural Revolution to professor at an American liberal arts college. In Do Nothing and Do Everything: An Illustrated New Tao, Zhao applies the ideas of Wu Wei (do nothing) and Wu Bu Wei (do everything) to modern life.
Do Nothing and Do Everything is supplemented by observations of American and Chinese life. Rich and humorous illustrations convey the subtle ideas that go beyond language and are re-created in the same style as the ones the author draws impromptu on the blackboard in his classes.

Evil and the Response of World Religion
"While for Maimonides and others evil designated
radical unreality, lack of being, for the Kabbalah the realm of evil, the

experience, to be denied its reality by attributing the human experience
of evil merely to an intellectual deficiency.

In the Path of the Masters: Buddha, Confucius, Jesus and Muhammed
"At a time when "spirituality" means many
things to many people, it is helpful to be taken back to the fountainheads

among its members even if we hold in abeyance its claims to truth about

do just that.
