Showing results for "The Others" in Taoism

For the first time, the great depth and diversity of Taoist spirituality is introduced in a single, accessible manual. Taoism, known widely today through the teachings of the classic Tao Te Ching and the practices of t'ai chi and feng-shui, is less known for its unique traditions of meditation, physical training, magical practice, and internal alchemy. Covering all of the most important texts, figures, and events, this essential guide illuminates Taoism's extraordinarily rich history and remarkable variety of practice.

Why not make that depth accessible? Tell more stories? Reveal tales that neither knew about the other? Draw on Jef's shamanic/Taoist background. Make the obstacle a Giant Opportunity?

Over 2,000 years ago, the great sage Lao-Tzu was disillusioned that others were unwilling to learn his path to natural goodness and harmony with nature. Today, his Tao Te Ching is one of China's most enduring sacred texts. This introduction to the Tao reveals Lao-Tzu's vast spiritual legacy, including Taoism's mystical roots in China's ancient shamanistic tradition...

A collection of Taoist visualizations seldom taught outside China. This ancient system uses traditional Taoist imagery to build self-awareness, unity of mind and body, and - ultimately - enlightenment. While healing with imagery is relatively new to the West, its use in China dates back to Taoist texts from the third century B.C.E. These healing techniques induce an "alpha-theta" state, where the unconscious comes to consciousness, and the mind reaches a blissful clarity.

L'entità suprema, il principio cosmico preesistente all'Universo da cui tutto deriva e a cui tutto ritorna: questo è il dao, l'Assoluto, la Via per entrare in sintonia con la natura e le sue leggi, superando ogni dicotomia tra bene e male, vita e morte. Sul suo culto si fonda il daoismo, movimento filosofico e religioso basato sulle polarità yin e yang e la conciliazione degli opposti, teso da un lato a svelare i misteri della natura e dall'altro a consentire all'uomo di raggiungere l'integrità psico-fisica.

Taoist living rests on four pillars: the public, the domestic, the private, and the spirit lives. Not only do Taoists strive to live these four aspects fully and in a balanced way, they also believe there is an outlook and an art to each of them. Eva Wong uses the teachings of Taoist masters themselves to explain the essential concepts. She then gives voice to these texts - simplifying them, removing barriers to understanding, and making them completely accessible and relevant to the modern reader.

La pensée de Confucius est si forte qu'elle domina la vie intellectuelle de la Chine ancienne pendant des siècles, allant jusqu'à constituer une véritable religion, le confucianisme. Lao-tsu (Laozi, Lao-tzu, ou Lao Tseu) est l'auteur du "Tao Te Ching" ("Livre de la Voie et de la Vertu"), et fut le père fondateur du taoïsme. C'est à lui qu'on doit le sens des équilibres yin et yang, le principe du non-agir, et l'idée du Tao, à l'origine de toutes choses.

Das Buch vom Sinn und Leben legt die Grundlagen der daoistischen Weltsicht und Lebensweise dar. Erstmals erscheint der Begriff "dao", wörtlich: der Weg.

Das TAO TE KING ist unterteilt in die Spruchgedichte 1-37, die sich mit dem TAO und seiner Natur befassen, und 38-81, die vom TE, dem Leben in seinen vielfältigen Ausprägungen handeln. Die von Lao Tse zu einem Punkt der Zeitenwende in der chinesischen Geschichte verfassten Spruchgedichte beinhalten hochkonzentriert die Weisheit seiner Zeit und stehen im Widerspruch zum aufkeimenden Konfuzianismus mit seinen strengen Moralregeln.

Die 2500 Jahre alten chinesischen Lehren des Lao-Tse sind der Grundstein der östlichen Weisheit. In geheimnisvoller und tiefgründiger Sprache wurden diese nun von Zen-Meister Zensho W. Kopp in die deutsche Sprache übertragen, um dem westlichen Leser die mystische Aussagekraft näher zu bringen und ihn zur Harmonie der allumfassenden Ganzheit des Seins zu leiten.
