Book Synopsis Tao - A New Way of Thinking by : Chung-yuan Chang
Download or read book Tao - A New Way of Thinking written by Chung-yuan Chang and published by Singing Dragon. This book was released on 2013-12-21 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This exceptional translation of the Tao Tê Ching by Chinese scholar Chung-yuan Chang reveals the true wisdom and beauty of this ancient Chinese text. Traditionally attributed to Taoist philosopher Lao Tzu, the Tao Tê Ching remains relevant worldwide today, more than two thousand years after it was written. This translation of the Taoist text, with Chang's accompanying commentaries, illuminates the real meaning of the Tao Tê Ching and makes this Chinese classic both accessible and relevant to modern ways of thinking, without any reduction of the complex thought within its pages. Chang Chung-yuan is unique in his approach and his introduction and commentaries place the Taoist text in the context of Western metaphysics, making reference to Heidegger, Hegel, Schopenhauer, Jung, Plato, Kant and Nietzsche, as well as capturing the context within which Taoism came to the West. Tao: A New Way of Thinking will be fascinating to anyone with an interest in Taoism and will be particularly appealing to those interested in comparative philosophy.

Book Synopsis The Taoist Canon by : Kristofer Schipper
Download or read book The Taoist Canon written by Kristofer Schipper and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2019-09-01 with total page 1684 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taoism remains the only major religion whose canonical texts have not been systematically arranged and made available for study. This long-awaited work, a milestone in Chinese studies, catalogs and describes all existing texts within the Taoist canon. The result will not only make the entire range of existing Taoist texts accessible to scholars of religion, it will open up a crucial resource in the study of the history of China. The vast literature of the Taoist canon, or Daozang, survives in a Ming Dynasty edition of some fifteen hundred different texts. Compiled under imperial auspices and completed in 1445—with a supplement added in 1607—many of the books in the Daozang concern the history, organization, and liturgy of China's indigenous religion. A large number of works deal with medicine, alchemy, and divination. If scholars have long neglected this unique storehouse of China's religious traditions, it is largely because it was so difficult to find one's way within it. Not only was the rationale of its medieval classification system inoperable for the many new texts that later entered the Daozang, but the system itself was no longer understood by the Ming editors; hence the haphazard arrangement of the canon as it has come down to us. This new work sets out the contents of the Daozang chronologically, allowing the reader to follow the long evolution of Taoist literature. Lavishly illustrated, the first volume ranges from antiquity through the Middle Ages, while the second spans the modern period. Within this frame, texts are grouped by theme and subject. Each one is the subject of a historical abstract that identifies the text's contents, date of origin, and author. Throughout the first two volumes, introductions outline the evolution of Taoism and its spiritual heritage. A third volume offering biographical sketches of frequently mentioned Taoists, multiple indexes, and an extensive bibliography provides critical tools for navigating this guide to one of the fundamental aspects of Chinese culture.

Book Synopsis Cooking recipes to be happy by : Adrian Salama
Download or read book Cooking recipes to be happy written by Adrian Salama and published by Babelcube Inc.. This book was released on 2019-12-25 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is essentially a guide to personal growth, a simple way of bringing together many topics that ultimately lead to the same goal, to enjoy life to the fullest. To do this, as the title says with a bit of irony, there is no recipe or list of steps to follow, you just have to understand some concepts that seem very obvious but that sometimes we lose sight of. It is told with a series of stories with which it is very easy to identify and with a sense of humor that is very pleasant for the reader. It is a simple text to read but with a very deep content, it shows a whole philosophy of life that balances all aspects that influence a person to enjoy life, from the physical to the mental without passing through the emotional, it is that the reader understands that you can achieve everything you want as long as you want it from the heart. Going through Taoism and Gestalt, the book explains how important it is to live in the here and now, to live in the PRESENT, which makes a lot of sense since it is the only time you can live in, there is no way to go back to the past nor to travel to the future to know what will happen. How to start living in the here and now? You have to understand that each person is born with the possibilities of having EVERYTHING he or she wants and that all things come at their own time so one of the first challenges that the book poses is to have patience and enjoy every moment, because when we are running through life the obvious is the only thing that is not seen. One of the questions the book answers very well is why do things happen to us in life? Everything begins with thought, everything outside is a projection of what we have inside, so if a person has positive thoughts, of harmony, of love, his environment begins to change immediately. It is important to know that there are no coincidences but CAUSALITIES, everything that happens to us is for a reason and from every situation you can l
Book Synopsis Meditation Techniques of the Buddhist and Taoist Masters by : Daniel Odier
Download or read book Meditation Techniques of the Buddhist and Taoist Masters written by Daniel Odier and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2003-01-28 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guide to the mental disciplines and visualizations that Masters have used for ages in their quest for illumination. * An insider's view of specific meditation techniques and the steps necessary for a wide variety of * Buddhist and Taoist meditation practices. * By the author of Tantric Quest (15,000 sold) and Desire: The Tantric Path to Awakening. The esoteric practices followed in the quest for divinity generally remain a secret to the world--kept cloistered away for only the most ascetic practitioners. Now Daniel Odier, having immersed himself in the life and spiritual practices of Buddhist and Taoist monasteries throughout India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Japan, reveals actual teachings passed on by the sages who are living expressions of their tradition. Looking beyond doctrine, dogma, and philosophical treatises that ignore direct experiences of the practice, Odier provides a direct path to the heart of the religious experience that can be discovered through meditation. Beginning with the simple and fundamental steps necessary to prepare for meditation, Odier guides the reader through the specifics of the mental disciplines and visualizations that Buddhist and Taoist masters have used for ages in their quest for illumination. To devote oneself to meditation, in the sense understood by Buddhists and Taoists, is to realize the understanding of how every fiber of our being converges with all creation. Meditation Techniques of the Buddhist and Taoist Masters is a valuable guide to all who are in search of that realization.
