Download or read book The Wisdom of Zhuang Zi on Daoism written by Zhuangzi and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2008 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the years there have been several editions of Zhuang Zi's book with significant differences in certain parts of the text. Not every word in the book came from Zhuang Zi's pen. Contributions were made by his disciples and there have been many changes to the original text: errors in hand copying the text, in mistaking notations for text, and in outright forgery throughout centuries. Chen Guying's 1976 edition of the book, an eclectic study of all the editions that identifies probable forgeries, is used as the text reference in the present translation.

Download or read book Chuang Tzu written by David Hinton and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2014-11-01 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revered for millennia in the Chinese spiritual tradition of the Tao Te Ching, this poetic translation of an ancient Taoist text comes alive for the modern reader Witty, engaging and spiced with the lyricism of poetry, Chuang Tzu's Taoist insights in the Inner Chapters are timely and eternal. The only sustained section of text widely believed to be the work of Chuang Tzu himself, these chapters date to the 4th century B.C.E and are profoundly concerned with spiritual ecology. With bold and startling prose, David Hinton's vital translation is surprisingly modern, making this ancient text from the golden age of Chinese philosophy come alive for contemporary readers. The Inner Chapters' fantastical passages offer up a wild menagerie of characters, freewheeling play with language, and surreal humor. Interwoven with Chuang Tzu's sharp instruction on the Tao are short stories that are often rough and ribald, rich with satire and paradox.

Download or read book The Teachings and Practices of the Early Quanzhen Taoist Masters written by Stephen Eskildsen and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stephen Eskildsen's book offers an in-depth study of the beliefs and practices of the Quanzhen (Complete Realization) School of Taoism, the predominant school of monastic Taoism in China. The Quanzhen School was founded in the latter half of the twelfth century by the eccentric holy man Wan Zhe (1113–1170), whose work was continued by his famous disciples commonly known as the Seven Realized Ones. This study draws upon surviving texts to examine the Quanzhen masters' approaches to mental discipline, intense asceticism, cultivation of health and longevity, mystical experience, supernormal powers, death and dying, charity and evangelism, and ritual. From these primary sources, Eskildsen provides a clear understanding of the nature of Quanzhen Taoism and reveals its core emphasis to be the cultivation of clarity and purity of mind that occurs not only through seated meditation, but also throughout the daily activities of life.

Book excerpt: IF YOU WISH TO PURCHASE THIS BOOK AT A REDUCED RATE OF 28$ INCLUDING SHIPPING/POSTAGE TO ANY LOCATION, PLEASE VISIT OUR SHOP https: //purplecloudinstitute.com/product/the-arts-of-daoism/ The Arts of Daoism presents a set of key lectures on some of the major arts and practices of Daoism by a contemporary Daoist priest and master, Li Shifu, the Abbot of Five Immortals Temple in the Wu dang mountains in China. These are supported by generous excerpts from classic Daoist texts on these topics, and engaging discussions between a master and his students that illuminate the questions and problems that arise on the path. The topics discussed in remarkable and lively detail by Li Shifu include: the art of fasting, the forms of Daoist meditation - seated, standing and sleeping - for tranquillity, health and spiritual awakening, and the interpretation of dreams. Li Shifu's talks combine technical exactitude with penetrating explorations of the underlying philosophy, and frank, humorous, profound and helpful advice for those at beginner or intermediate stages in their practice. The auxiliary texts include passages, stories and chapter excerpts from some of the greats in Daoism, such as Lao Zi, Zhuang Zi, Zhongli Quan, Lü Dongbin, Ge Hong, Zhang Sanfeng and Chen Tuan in important selections from the Daoist canon, many of which are appearing in English for the first time. A notable highlight is two chapters from the Classic of Categories 類經 by the renowned physician, Zhang Jingyue, on dream interpretation as an analytical tool in the diagnosis of a patient's illness. Equally addressed to both the general reader and the serious practitioner, The Arts of Daoism is an indispensable guide for anyone with a philosophical and practical interest in Daoism and traditional Chinese practices for health and wellbeing. May this book serve as a beacon, leading you to the headwaters and confluence of awakening. Returning to the Source (guīgēn 歸根).
