“The Game of the Dragon: An Extension to the Tao Te Ching”

In his bold new work “The Game of the Dragon: An Extension to the Tao Te Ching,” poet Simon C.H. Lai reimagines one of the world’s most profound texts. The “Tao Te Ching,” an ancient Chinese masterpiece, has long guided seekers in the art of living. Lai builds upon this foundation, crafting poems that extend Tao into modern life—exploring its symbols, its mysteries, and its power to soothe emotions and shape peaceful patterns of behavior.

About the Book:
This collection is not simply an homage—it is a transformation. Lai’s poems look at Tao through a darker lens, inviting readers to confront the dilemmas of existence with honesty and courage.

Each verse encourages daily practice, offering wisdom that can calm the mind and inspire kinder interactions with others. Rooted in Lao-tzu’s timeless philosophy yet infused with Lai’s modern voice, “The Game of the Dragon” is both meditative and provocative, a guide for those seeking inner peace in a turbulent world.
