This app is superb. Enhances mindfulness in daily life. Both calming and uplifting, enlightening and endarkening. Great resource for dealing with monkey or doggy mind.

### 2/5 — Just Add The English Name

*2012-10-23*

The content is EXCELLENT but it be helpful to have the option of English. Why not, the audience is English speaking.

### 2/5 — Incomplete

*2012-10-15*

To read the entire contents of the book you have to buy it.  That's so against the Tao! The true knowledge of the soul is and should be free.

### 5/5 — First!
