Deng Ming-Dao
Deng Ming-Dao (born 1954, San Francisco[1]) is a Chinese American author, artist, philosopher, teacher and martial artist. Deng is his family name; Ming-Dao is his given name. From a young age, he studied Taoist internal arts such as Qigong and Kung-Fu.
Deng Ming-Dao is the author of eight books, including 365 Tao, Everyday Tao, Scholar Warrior, and Chronicles of Tao. His books have been translated into fifteen languages. He studied qigong, philosophy, meditation, and internal martial arts with Taoist master Kwan Saihung for thirteen years, and studied with two other masters before that. He is an award-winning graphic designer and fine artist whose work is in several collections, including those of the Brooklyn Museum.[2]
His best known book is 365 Tao: Daily Meditations, which has been translated into several languages.
Note that although the HarperCollins reference says the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art owns works by this artist, that is incorrect.
