Acknowledgement

I have been involved in the practice of Tao, after my father’s open heart surgery in 1993, at Gravy Medical Center of Los Angeles. Initially I had no idea how to reach the Formless direction, the major purpose is pray to the god for my father's recovery. He checked out from Hospital after the commitment from myself in front of god.

Because I was busy concerning my personal business, I did not keep my commitment at all, after my father fully recovered. During 1994 my father got sick again. I think this is the time, I have to review my personal commitment to the god ;from the traditional education at China, as a man, we have to keep our commitment to the other party, The Analyst of Confucius indicated that the Master said, in old days a man kept a hold on his words fearing the disgrace that would ensue should himself fail to keep pace with them. If I can't keep my commitment to my most respected god, I am going to receive the non-confidence signal from my business partner. This is the reason for me even my father already passed away for a member of years, I still carry the commitment and never change.

For entry of the door of Tao, is learning on how to become a gentleman, the Confucius said that while one’s father and mother are alive, a good son does not wander far afield; or it does so, goes only where he has said he was going, if the whole there years of mourning a son manages to carry on the household exactly as in his father's day, then he is a good son in deed.

There are scarcely public morals to speak of these days, During the 1997, the Quality of 21^st Century Live, there are 72 recipes of vegetarian food under my personal formulation and cooking experience to share with those member who are going on my same direction.

Once again, take this opportunities to forward my appreciation to Master F. S. Haung of The Mission of Tao in Los Angeles, he gave me strength to reinforce my confidence of Tao. Without his direction to open my heart door, I will never started to follow up the road of Tao,

as well as Master W. H. Liu in Taiwan adjusted my body structure, give me energy & courage, plus the help from my dear wife Mona to help me in the kitchen to key in the data for completion of this book.

The first edition 500 copies already distributed to the public, and reaction is that: -

1. The book should be printed under color picture.
2. The character is not big enough for ready.
3. There is no nutritional information.
4. Not connivance for those friends understands for Chinese.

Part of the portion was Recipe by the new format with Nutritional information, I have to forward my deep appreciation to Susie Ware, I started to read the book of complete vegetarian to initiation for my project ,and Italian regional cooking edited by Carla Capable to build up my basic knowledge of Western cooking; as well as the Chef's companion by Elizabeth Riely as my dictionary; Master cook of CD ROM as my working tool, to calculation of nutritional information..

Also, I have to present my deep appreciation to Ms Maylin Liu to help to finalized for the copy and translate the part of Laotsu; since I am starting my studies the Quality of life from the Mission of Tao-Confucianism, may I have pleasure to list the information on this book for your reference too.

This book will offer to a Tao fellow disciple for a kind of reference same as the other books edited by me.
