64 timeless sayings from the Chinese Philosophy tradition
The core principle of the I Ching: reality is dynamic and constantly changing. Understanding the patterns of change allows one to act in harmony with circumstances. The I Ching has been consulted for over three thousand years. Its core insight is that change follows identifiable patterns -- by understanding them, one can act at the right time.
