Disclaimer

Since very few Asians actually have any knowledge of White Tigress practices, the reader should not judge the Asian culture as a whole or assume that any Asian person condones or believes in them. Most Asians will be hearing of these practices for the first time and will react to them as any other person would, with acceptance, disdain, or indifference.

The author and publisher disclaim any responsibility or liability for individuals who engage in any of the sexual practices described in this book. The materials presented here are meant to serve solely as a record and description of White Tigress ideology. Neither the author nor the publisher promotes any of the sexual methods or practices mentioned in this book, nor do they encourage any individual to engage in them.

It is the authors hope that anyone who would decide to undertake any of these practices, especially those requiring a sexual partner, would do so with great caution and consideration. None of the practices described in this book should be considered as sexual amusements. Most of the practices described are very powerful psychologically and physiologically and therefore need to be approached carefully.

Note: The names of teachers and students of these teachings have been altered so as not to reveal their true identities or to jeopardize their privacy.

Acknowledgments

Without the tenacious encouragement of Dr. Chen I would have never found myself or been allowed into the beautiful world of White Tigresses, nor would this book have ever become a reality. My deepest appreciation to him.

To Madame Lin, her daughter, and all the Tigresses under her tutelage. When I stayed in Taiwan to research this book all of them showed me so much kindness, provided me with so much support, and above all they so genuinely granted me all their trust. They changed my entire perception of not only sexual matters, but on women and love as well. I will forever be in their debt.

My deepest gratitude to all the Tigresses here in America who helped answer so many questions, endured the hectic photography sessions, and who wrote me so many clarifying letters. Their contributions were indispensable.

To everyone at Destiny Books who helped get this book to print. The enormous amount of time and effort everyone spent made this book so wonderful, so readable, and so beautiful.

With utmost gratitude and respect I bow deeply to everyone.

Foreword

The White Tigress teachings originate from the ancient practices of the Western Royal Mother (Hsi Wang Mu), and have been handed down and refined over many centuries within the Asian consort societies and certain Taoist sects that adhere to feminine and sexual ideology. Sadly, the world has changed and we no longer have the comfort of these sanctuaries in which to pass along our teachings. But now, with this wonderful record of White Tigress teachings compiled by Hsi Lai, we are assured that our philosophy and knowledge will not pass into oblivion.

Over the ages we have been ridiculed, banned, imprisoned, and even killed for our sexual beliefs by zealous moralists and political thugs who attempted to gain favor with the masses. Yet we have survived the incrim-inations of taboo-breaking through the courage and determination of an endless stream of adherents, both male and female. My utmost hope is that this book will, with great clarity, provide evidence of our true purpose: physical youthfulness and spiritual immortality.

Until present times, Asian culture had openly maintained the practice of keeping female concubines and consorts, the primary conduits through which the White Tigress teachings were transmitted. But now that the tradition of secondary wives and consorts has been made illegaland driven deeply underground for those who still engage in the customI fear the White Tigress teachings would suffocate if some measure were not taken to preserve them.

Change is necessary for all things. For the teachings of the White Tigress this is definitely true. The lineages and secret societies cease to exist, as does support for female Taoist convents. Our past avenues for-propagation of the teachings have disappeared very rapidly in this century, so the options for preserving the teachings cannot exist as they have in the past. This book represents the modifications that are necessary in order for White Tigress teachings to exist within future generations.

Admittedly, the traditional practices of the White Tigress were extremely difficult to maintain. Many of the women I have taught over the years did not succeed simply because the practices required too much dedication, with a minimum initial requirement of three intensive years. Times have changed, and so have the lives of women. Women now seek their own careers, many are single parents, and, generally, they no longer find their finances completely provided by men. Independence has its pricein this case, a lack of freedom to engage fully in the traditional practices of the White Tigress.

I am happy that Hsi Lai has done such a remarkable job in presenting the White Tigress teachings to the world. Not only does this work serve as a record of the traditional teachings of the White Tigress, but it also makes the practices and philosophy accessible to modern-day adherents. It is not important that every woman become a White Tigress, it is important that every woman be aware of her potential. Each female who reads this book and puts into practice just one restoration or spiritual exercise will preserve these teachings and honor the centuries of women who transmitted them.

I suspect the White Tigress practice is as difficult as that of our male Taoist counterparts who sit for long hours in meditation and practice specific internal alchemy to retain and restore their sexual energy to attain immortality. The White Tigresses are equally dedicated to their practices. Yet there is so much about us that is unseen, a story behind the story. We are what the Tao Te Ching refers to as the mysterious female, the gateway to the sublime Tao. Herein lies our biggest secret, but only the most dedicated can discover its truth.

Sex is like a poison, and like most poisons it is also its own antidote. Tigresses are not emotionally attached to sex; we simply see it as a very effective and powerful vehicle by which to restore and enhance our physical beauty and with which to delve into the sublime Tao to attain immortality.

The White Tigresses are Taoists who have discovered how to harness the most powerful energy of human experiencesexual energyand apply it to the pursuit of health, youthfulness, longevity, and spiritual immortality. The White Tigress sexual practices and beliefs are but the means, not the end. Sexual energy is our springboard, propelling us to a more youthful and spiritual state of being.

My deepest respect and gratitude goes to Hsi Lai for his years of dedication in compiling this book. Undeniably he has provided a far more lucid record of the White Tigress than we could have done for ourselves. He has set the stage for yet another chapter in the history of White Tigress teachings, giving me the great hope that the teachings will now find a new fertile ground on which to grow.

Respectfully,

Madame Lin
