""Born in China of missionary parents, Smith learned about Chinese language, culture and religion while growing up near Shanghai. Smith explains how the intertwining of opposites is key to understanding the great religions of China, Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism. Smith shows that eastern religions provide 'an emphasis on direct experience and a method for attaining that.' He introduces yoga, which he has been practicing for 50 years, as one such method." - Container."@en
