The Sages of China (The Adepts: in the Eastern Esoteric Tradition, Part 3) (Pt. 3)

The descent of the Adept tradition in China is traced in a discussion of Chinese ancient masters, Lao-Tse, Confucius, Mencius, and other figures who envisioned the perfect human civilization-the philosophic commonwealth. This work also touches upon the early Christian influence in China, Oriental alchemy, and Chinese secret societies. Illustrated.
