<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A classic Chinese text on Taoist meditation, this work has inspired many Ch'i-kung (Qigong) techniques for attaining health, happiness, and long life. The book describes the use of meditation in circulating energy, the role of breath, and the conservation of procreative energy. It is one of the few Taoist treatises to describe the landmarks of spiritual development and document the process of spiritual development from start to finish. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A modern translation of</b> <i><b>Hui-ming Ching</b></i><b>, the classic Taoist manual on cultivating and conserving energy as a means of achieving greater health, longevity, and inner peace</b> <p/> To live a healthy and long life, to be tranquil and untouched by the dust of the mundane world, and to become one with the life-giving energy of the Tao--these are the goals of the practitioner of Taoist spirituality. <p/> The classic Chinese text <i>Hui-ming ching</i> ("Treatise on Cultivating Life") is one of the most important Taoist classics on the arts of longevity and a major inspiration for many techniques of Qigong. Even two hundred years after its initial publication, it is still one of the most accessible works on a branch of Taoist practice that has been heretofore shrouded in mystery. <p/> Abandoning the symbolic language typically used in the ancient classics, it discusses the practices of the Microcosmic and Macrocosmic Orbits, the role of breath in circulating energy, and the conservation of procreative energy in a straightforward and concrete way. <p/> Now, in this new, complete translation, a foremost translator of Taoist texts clarifies and elucidates the Taoist methods of conserving and cultivating energy for the attainment of health, longevity, and inner peace.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Eva Wong</b> is an independent scholar, a translator of Chinese texts, and a practitioner of the Taoist arts of the Pre-Celestial Way and Complete Reality lineages. She has written and translated many books on Taoism and related topics, including <i>A Master Course in Feng-Shui; Tales of the Taoist Immortals;</i> <i>Taoism: An Essential Guide</i>; and<i> Seven Taoist Masters</i>.
