My neighbor who practices Tai Chi lent me this book a few
weeks ago. It is an easy to read book. I recommend this book
to you. It described Taoism via the Pooh, a popular carton
character in a children TV program.
Although I am a Chinese and have been practicing Tai Chi for
many years I don't know much about Taoism. This book has
taught me some basic ideas such as blending in to the nature,
listening to your voice within. Be a child who knows.
The book has a paragraph about Tai Chi Quan: The basic idea of Tai Chi Quan is to wear the opponent out either by sending his energy back at him or by deflecting it away, in order to weaken his power, balance, and position-for -defense. Never is force opposed with force; instead, it is overcome with yielding.

Great book! I'm a big fan of the Tao of Pooh!
I agee - It is a good book. That was the first time I read about the comparison among Buddhism, Toatism and Kong Fu Zi. I thought it was quite interesting.
