Описание: This book translates Master Wang’s original practice instructions and discourses given during training seminars. His system of internal alchemy goes back to two ancient Daoist texts that outline the concoction of a golden elixir through the dual cultivation of inner nature and life-destiny. This book follows the classics and presents all different kinds of techniques—including walking, pacing, sleeping, circulating the five phases, absorbing tree energy, and capturing planetary essences—in a systematic format and with a great amount of instructional detail. It contains a wealth of information invaluable to anyone interested in genuine Daoist cultivation and elucidates numerous rather obscure concepts to contextualize each practice.

Автор: James Giles Название: The Way of Awareness in Daoist Philosophy ISBN: 1931483450 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781931483452 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 29260.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: This book explores ancient Daoist philosophy and argues against interpretations that paint the early Daoist philosophers as mystics or cosmologists. It claims that Dao is best understood as awareness and that Daoist concerns are primarily with the nature of human experience, meditation, and our relation to the world. The Dao of Awareness starts by placing Daoist philosophy within the context of ancient Chinese thought. It then proceeds by critically engaging each of the major Daoist thinkers, works, or schools: Laozi, Yang Zhu, Zhuangzi, the Inward Training, Liezi, and Neo-Daoism. It concludes by pointing to ways in which Daoist thought can offer insights into contemporary Western philosophy. Throughout the book, comparisons are drawn with Western thinkers, psychological research, and Buddhist thought. The book is both a scholarly examination of Chinese and cross-cultural philosophy as well as an original work on ethics, metaphysics, and the philosophy of mind.
Methods of "Nourishing the Vital Principle" in the Ancient Daoist Religion is a tiré à part of Book IX of Henri Maspero's seminal work Taoism and Chinese Religion, the Revised Edition of which was published by Quirin Press in 2014 (ISBN: 978-1-922169-04-4).
Among the texts through which Maspero explores the Daoist practices of longevity before and during the Tang dynasty (618-907). The Collection of Books New and Old on the Absorption of Breath Gathered by the Master of Yanling (Yanling xiansheng ji xinjiu fuqijing 延陵先生集新 舊服氣經), probably compiled in the middle of the eighth century by an otherwise unknown figure, is a detailed account of the Daoist practice of "embryonic respiration" (taixi 胎息). In general, embryonic respiration is an attempt to gain the vitality of the fetus-in particular, to reverse the process of aging-through a set of techniques intended to re-create the breathing of an embryo in the womb. These techniques, as set out in the text, reflect the increasing empha- sis within Daoism in the late Tang dynasty on internal rather than external practices.
The Formula for the Use of Breath by Perfect Men of Mysterious Simplicity, Expounded by the Master of Great Respect (Daweiyi xiansheng xuansuzhenren Yongqi jue 大威儀先生玄素眞人 用氣訣) describes a preliminary practice. Adepts must do physical exercises, calm the mind through meditation, clack their teeth, swallow their own saliva, and visualize the breath traveling properly through the body. Those who perfectly and constantly follow this method for nine years will be able to "walk upon emptiness as one walks on substance, on water as if on earth."
After exploring the various breathing techniques, the second part of the book looks at the "Methods of Uniting Yin 陰 and Yang 陽 to Nourish the Vital Principle" and concludes with a section on Daoist gymnastic methods (daoyin 道引) used to help the Daoist adept to overcome the various internal obstacles and obstructions to the passage of breath.
As with all of Maspero's work, what renders his approach impeccable is the manner in which he employed and relied on original source material. Maspero (1883-1945) was the first Western scholar to study the vast and recondite compendium of Daoist writing, the Daozang, and explore its historic meaning. And, as Michael Loewe pointed out, "scholars still rely with the utmost confidence on his writings as a framework whose validity has outdated their most recent findings, and whose detail has in many cases not been bettered."

Автор: Goossaert, Vincent Название: Heavenly masters ISBN: 9882372023 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789882372023 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 56850.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: The origins of modern Daoism can be traced to the Church of the Heavenly Master (Tianshidao), reputedly established by the formidable Zhang Daoling. In 142 CE, according to Daoist tradition, Zhang was visited by the Lord on High, who named him his vicar on Earth with the title Heavenly Master. The dispensation articulated an eschatological vision of saving initiates—the pure, those destined to become immortals— by enforcing a strict moral code. Under evolving forms, Tianshidao has remained central to Chinese society, and Daoist priests have upheld their spiritual allegiance to Zhang, their now divinized founder. This book tells the story of the longue dur?e evolution of the Heavenly Master leadership and institution.Later hagiography credits Zhang Daoling's great?grandson, putatively the fourth Heavenly Master, with settling the family at Longhushan (Dragon and Tiger Mountain); in time his descendants—down to the present contested sixty?fifth Heavenly Master living in Taiwan— made the extraordinary claim of being able to transmit hereditarily the function of the Heavenly Master and the power to grant salvation. Over the next twelve centuries, the Zhangs turned Longhushan into a major holy site and a household name in the Chinese world, and constructed a large administrative center for the bureaucratic management of Chinese society. They gradually built the Heavenly Master institution, which included a sacred site; a patriarchal line of successive Heavenly Masters wielding vast monopolistic powers to ordain humans and gods; a Zhang lineage that nurtured talent and accumulated wealth; and a bureaucratic apparatus comprised of temples, training centers, and a clerical hierarchy. So well?designed was this institution that it remained stable for more than a millennium, far outlasting the longest dynasties, and had ramifications for every city and village in imperial China.In this ambitious work, Vincent Goossaert traces the Heavenly Master bureaucracy from medieval times to the modern Chinese nation?state as well as its expansion. His in?depth portraits of influential Heavenly Masters are skillfully embedded in a large?scale analysis of the institution and its rules, ideology, and vision of society.

Описание: The second book to Wang Yun`s Climbing the Steps to Qingcheng Mountain. It covers Daoist practices such as posting and the Bodhidharma`s Tendon Transformation Classic in twelve exercises. This volume has fewer stories than the first, but more guidance on the exercises, and provides tools to strenghten muscles, tendons and skeletal structure.
Drawing on his extensive experience across traditions in meditation, Daoism, and other forms of self-cultivation, coupled with his background in Martial Arts and many other forms of physical movement and exercise, Craig Mallett brings his readers a guide that is both practical and spiritual. His approach to the Da Xuan tradition of Daoism will help those interested to engage with its ideas and practice their application. With a focus on building a daily practice of physical exercises, while also understanding our misorientations, Dancing Between the Opposites opens the door to Daoist philosophy for readers looking for a more readily accessible form. It is an invaluable resource for both beginners who want to get started, and for experienced practitioners who are looking to build a more sophisticated practice, to bring about a better balance to what they are already doing.

Chang, Chao-jan Название: Library of clouds ISBN: 9882371817 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789882371811 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 54340.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: From early times, Daoist writers claimed to receive scriptures via revelation from heavenly beings. In numerous cases, these writings were composed over the course of many nights and by different mediums. New revelations were often hastily appended, and the resulting unevenness gave rise to the impression that Daoist texts often appear slapdash and contain contradictions. A Library of Clouds focuses on the rewriting of Daoist scriptures in the Upper Clarity (Shangqing) lineage in fourth? and fifth?century China. Scholarship on Upper Clarity Daoism has been dominated by attempts to uncover “original” or “authentic” texts, which has resulted in the neglect of later scriptures— including the work fully translated and annotated here, the Scripture of the Immaculate Numen, one of the Three Wonders (sanqi) and among the most prized Daoist texts in medieval China. The scripture’s lack of a coherent structure and its different authorial voices have led many to see it not as a unified work but the creation of different editors who shaped and reshaped it over time.A Library of Clouds constructs new ways of understanding the complex authorship of texts like the Scripture of the Immaculate Numen and their place in early medieval Daoism. It stresses their significance in understanding the ways in which manuscripts were written, received, and distributed in early medieval China. By situating the scripture within its immediate hagiographic and ritual contexts, it suggests that this kind of revelatory literature is best understood as a pastiche of ideas, a process of weaving together previously circulating notions and beliefs into a new scriptural fabric.
