The Zhouyi (Changing) is a compendium of history and a source of poetical and scientific images that has been passed down for at least 2500 years. In that time it has acquired a profound, if cumbersome, set of later Chinese commentaries. The Daodejing (Observing), also referred to as the "Laozi," was given that name over 2000 years ago in the area of the world now known as China. It has been important to and influential for governments, religions, philosophers, hermits, alchemists, military commanders, merchants and strategists of all kinds. Available individually and as a boxed set.

Liu Ming wrote Facets: An Inner Journey Through Asia while traveling throughout Asia in the early 1980s. He intended it to be a "pillow book," a book of observations and musings in the Japanese tradition — or, in Western parlance, a memoir. He shared draft versions with his friends in the 1990s, but decided against making it available more widely. As he approached his death in early 2015, it was time to revisit that decision.
