Daoism, meditation, and the wonders of serenity
from the latter Han dynasty (25-220) to the Tang dynasty (618-907)
- First published:
- 21st century
- Language: English
Stephen Eskildsen offers an overview of Daoist religious texts from the Latter Han (25-220) through Tang (618-907) periods, exploring passive meditation methods and their anticipated effects. These methods entailed observing the processes that unfold spontaneously within mind and body, rather than actively manipulating them by means common in medieval Daoist religion such as visualization, invocations, and the swallowing of breath or saliva.
