Shambhala. Near Fine. 2001. First Edition. Softcover. 1570624453 . Excellent condition, clean and unmarked, slight corner wear to covers and a light crease to one top edge. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 288 pages; " Zen priest as well as a t'ai chi instructor, Linda Myoki Lehrhaupt takes us into the soul of t'ai chi in T'ai Chi as a Path of Wisdom. Not exactly an instruction manual (there are only a few of the basic exercises and no photographs) , this unique book reads more like a topnotch meditation manual, describing practices but also pitfalls, warning of frustrations and praising the outcomes of perseverance. In personal anecdotes that range from the humorous to the painful, Lehrhaupt touches on aspects of t'ai chi, such as balance, stillness, and steadfastness, that will be familiar to anyone who has learned a physical skill. The success stories of her students and of herself are an inspiration to take up this soft art and experience the wisdom that comes from cooperating with the cosmos." [351-noto] .

NOTES ON SHIPPING: All Items ship from Canada via Canada Post.

U.S. Customers: Airmail options only. Surface mail has been discontinued. Expedited option is Tracked Packet or Expedited Parcel.
Canadian Customers: due to Canada Post's excessive charges, shipping within Canada has gotten quite expensive. Prices don't increase dramatically with size and weight, so multiple items in the same order can be more cost effective. Also, items which can ship via letter mail will reduce shipping costs considerably. Feel free to inquire.
International/Overseas (non-U.S.) Customers - Please Note: Due to recent extremely slow deliveries and customer complaints for overseas surface mail, I have had to switch shipping options to the more expensive tracked/insured option. The lower priced surface mail or airmail options may be available for lower priced items. Please inquire. Also, we cannot be held responsible for items lost in shipment if you have not chosen the tracked/insured method.
Our Shipping estimates are based on an average sized book, weighing up to 500 grams (or approx. 18 oz.) and your actual shipping cost may vary. If your book is small or very light (i.e. a small paperback), shipping will be reduced.
