The Master Key Of Wisdom: Volume I, Know Yourself the Chung Doe Way Paperback – May 22, 2007

Reading The Master key of Wisdom makes me feel like I am in one of my favorite kung fu movies learning from a Martial Arts Master.My favorite parts are the stories about the student and the Grandmaster where I feel like I am learning lessons about essential principles and values of life taught in a way that only a Martial Arts Master can teach.Having degrees in philosophy and comparative literature, I find The Master Key of Wisdom to be a refreshing philosophical text that goes beyond the limits of logical analysis. It is philosophy based on experience and wisdom that is given in conjunction with the true story the author's own experiences and growth. It brings a simple, but profound perspective on personal growth, and modern ethics that I find very practical and applicable.It's a great and meaningful story intertwined with classical East Asian philosophy that is consistently applied to modern day life. I have already ready read it a couple times.I heard that volume 2 is coming out soon and will definitely check that out also.

I have studied many books on enlightenment, taught religions around the world, and studied oriental medicine and I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is a nice size, well written and unlike other books of its kind, gives an authentic, practical approach to spiritual living which makes it more than unique. I have read it several times, and each time it shows me more and more about myself, others, and spirit. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone and let your own experience be true to you. I am looking forward to the next volume.

This book speaks from the place where all religion and faith spawn. I've done my fair share of spiritual research and this book is on par with all others. It is a practical and simple explanation of how to better ones life and those around you. Of course it is aimed at the practitioner of Moo Doe but it does a brilliant job of putting ones personal practice into perspective

Read it through once. Reading the annoyingly relevant parts over again. There’s a lot of them.

I've read alot of books claiming to have the answer to many different challenges we face, and they aren't necessarily incorrect. However, I've never read a book that is so simple, grounded, and applicable. It's the only book I read daily and refer back to often, because I know it can change my approach and outlook of any given day I am having.

It is very impressive. Grand master explained the meaning of the life in very simple way. You just need to read it.

Clear lessons on knowing yourself, choosing your path in life and relationships from an ancient martial arts tradition, useful to anyone.

This book speaks glowingly of chung doe (good) and pa doe (bad) paths, but it omits mention that the master Kim and his top level of students went to jail for certain business practices. See information under their other operating name Oom Yung Doe, Chicago, court trial.
