"Wong's translation is accessible and her scholarship sparkling in this illuminating edition of a Chinese Taoist classic."— Publishers Weekly
Kurzbeschreibung
To age with the sun and moon and be renewed by spring and summer, to conserve the seeds of growth in autumn and winter and to be nourished by the eternal breath of the Tao—these are the goals of the Taoist alchemists, the masters of the arts of health, longevity, and immortality.
This book is a translation of a concise Taoist alchemical manual known as the Dragon-Tiger Classic, along with its two most important commentaries. The classic, written in ancient times by an unknown author and published during the fifteenth century BCE, is regarded by contemporary Taoist practitioners as the most complete guide to spiritual transformation. It covers the three forms of Taoist practice:
• External alchemy, concerned with the ingestion of minerals, herbs, and other substances to attain health, longevity, and immortality
• Sexual alchemy, in which the practitioner uses the energy of a sexual partner to cultivate his or her own energy
• Internal alchemy, the practice of meditation, calisthenics, and yogic postures to cultivate mind and body
An extensive introduction by the translator and the inclusion of two commentaries by traditional Chinese authors aid the reader in understanding this concise, symbolic text.

No Harmony!
4. Januar 2010
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Who would not be allured into buying this book Harmonizing Yin and Yang. Although this book tends to provide some recipe to achieve dynamic energies, the ingredients and tools are incomprehensible to most readers, hence, hard to find. I had been rereading this book, but still could not achieve the energies which I greatly desired. I am lost by its seeming alchemy, however concisely it is written.

Good book on the subject, but the subject is veiled
17. Dezember 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
Books on Taoist Alchemy are very hit and miss. You have the secret teachings of the interactions of fire and water, lead, mercury, and cinnabar being fired in the cauldron. These are all understood to be metaphors for internal interactions with yin and yang energies. In conveying what is in the text of the Dragon-Tiger Classic this book does a really good job.
However this entire area of study is almost like a trick. Because no one can tell you about Dragon and Tiger unless you start doing Tai Chi or Chi Gung and experience these archetypes for yourself. The thought of someone trying to memorize these texts or trying to order their life around the right moon days or hours to congel the next set of energies is a frightening form of giving your power away to a set formula regardless of how noble the intentions of the originators. Chi is something you have to experience. And sometimes you have to wonder whether the Taoist masters who created these complex tomes were just smiling because they wanted you to be able to look past this stuff and get back into your own experience. Something akin to a Taoist/Zen koan. A kind of false shell that you had to overcome in order to really get into the depths of the experience.
