Practice of Brahmacharya is good, especially if your familiar with Hindu ideas and Sanskrit terms. Has some good techniques to crush desire including some asanas and pranayama to help with the conversion of Tejas into Ojas (sirsasana, sarvangasana, brahmacharyasana)
Coiled Serpent is vast collection of quotes from diverse resources - ranging from Religion, science, philosophy as to why abstinence is foundation for all material and spiritual success. Both are useful. Have read them multiple times.

That’s the only book I read of theirs, so don’t have much opinion. I remember it introduced me to thinking beyond the physical. Li Hongzhi had some interesting ideas on prehistoric ancient civilisations and seemed pretty well informed about Buddhism. Don’t know much about them desu.

vases were 120 euro total; books were all about $20 a piece; I have a million more. Legitimate pseuds always buy up huge collections of Easton Press books to display then sell them when they move, so it's easy to get a nice binding of virtually any classic for dirt cheap
