A modern translation of Hui-ming Ching, the classic Taoist manual on cultivating and conserving energy as a means of achieving greater health, longevity, and inner peace

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.

The classic Chinese text Hui-ming ching (""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.

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.

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.
