Description: The Great Triad is centered on Taoism while being characteristically rich in illuminating cross-references to other traditions, for the ternary in question - Heaven, Earth, and Human - is an inescapable feature of all spirituality. Seldom have the multiple levels of significance of a single symbol been expounded in such profound and meaningful detail so as to reveal that, when properly assimilated, the triad symbol possesses the possibility of functioning as an initiatory means of support for inner realization.
