This month, Singing Dragon staff were treated to an afternoon talk with author Richard Bertschinger, author of the new book The Secret of Everlasting Life: The First Translation of the Ancient Chinese Text on Immortality.
In these videos, Richard explains the origins of this second century text, the Can Dong Qi, and talks about the careful way in which he translated it from the Chinese over two decades. He also shares memories from his time with the influential Taoist sage and Master, Gia-fu Feng, and reads some passages from the book.
