In this episode we talk to Purple Cloud Press founder Johan Hausen and artist Jen King about the process of translating, writing and illustrating their most recent publication, the 49 Barriers of Cultivating the Dao. We delve into process of capturing the essence not only of Liu Yi Ming’s original recording of the Barriers, but also of the illuminating commentary by Abbot Li Shifu of the Five Immortals Temple.
The book is available for purchase at: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08RC71226
