Download or read book The A to Z of Taoism written by Julian F. Pas and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2006-01-13 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taoism, the set of philosophical teachings and religious practices rooted in the understanding of the Chinese character Tao, or "The Way," was founded by the Chinese philosopher Laozi in the 6th Century BCE, whose work, the Tao Te Ching (The Book of the Way and its Virtue) laid the philosophical foundation for the religion's beliefs. This volume starts, as it should, with a detailed chronology of Taoism and its relationship both to China and other teachings. The introduction inserts it further in this basic context. Then the dictionary section, consisting of several hundred cross-referenced entries, provides a more detailed treatment of significant persons, nonpersons (gods and demons), concepts, practices, rituals, scriptures, and schools. The bibliography suggests further reading.

Download or read book Taoist Meditation written by Isabelle Robinet and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1993-01-01 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Isabelle Robinet's Taoist Meditation is the first and only scholarly study to discuss the ancient Mao-shan Taoist tradition of visionary meditation while, at the same time, helping to clarify the little understood relationship among the early Taoist classics, the Buddhist tradition, and the later Taoist religion. Most importantly, Taoist Meditation is a pioneering study that fully and accurately describes the unique visionary cosmology, bodily symbolism, astral journeys, internal alchemy, meditational techniques, and ritual practices of the Mao-shan or Shang-chi'ing (Great Purity) movement--one of the most important foundational traditions making up the overall Taoist religion. This English version of Robinet's work is more than a simple translation.Taoist Meditation presents a significantly expanded edition of the original French text which includes up-to-date bibliographies of Robinet's work and other Western scholarship on Taoism, additional illustrations, and a newly compiled list of textual citations.

Download or read book Mythologies du monde written by Michael Carter MacKenzie and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nombre de traditions, de coutumes et de croyances du monde contemporain prennent leurs racines dans des mythes et des légendes hérités du fond des âges. Nés du besoin des hommes de donner un sens à l'ordre du monde, ils traduisent cette volonté toujours vivace de justifier l'inexplicable. Véritable ciment qui relie les générations, ils disent la complexité de la vie humaine et notre fascination pour les forces insondables de la nature. Mythologies du Monde explore les mythes et les légendes des civilisations anciennes et revisite les traditions des principaux creusets de mythologie à travers le monde. • Quelles différences y a-t-il entre les mythes et les légendes ? • Comment ces récits mythiques se sont-ils propagés ? • Qui étaient ces dieux et déesses des peuples anciens ? • Quelle est la place de la mythologie dans le monde d'aujourd'hui ? Cet ouvrage permet à tous de trouver les réponses à ces questions et de mieux comprendre ces récits qui nourrissent, depuis tant de siècles, notre imaginaire.
