Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Blending modern psychology and Daoist wisdom into a recipe for the fully actualized child, this book shows how human beings form an integral part of nature and the greater universe. Partaking in Dao to the fullest, they can experience a sense of well-being, inner harmony, and overarching exc…ellence. Ancient Chinese texts describe this realization of our full potential in terms of free and easy wandering or skilful spontaneity. Western psychologists similarly speak of personal fulfilment in work and play. Most important among them are Mihalyi Csikszentmihalyi with his concept of flow, Martin Seligman with his studies of authentic happiness, and Howard Gardner with his system of multiple intelligences. Activated differently in the brain, subject to both genes and training, these psychological dimensions become apparent in different stages of childhood development and are enhanced by optimal learning conditions, manifold forms of play, and conscientious parentingleading to the realization of full potential and attainment of Daoist harmony. This book offers a unique presentation: none other pulls the same level of information together, let alone present it in such a vibrant and engaging way.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Daoism is the indigenous higher religion of traditional China. Growing from a philosophical root and developing through practices of longevity and immorality, it has found expression in communal organizations, ritual structures, and age-old lineages. A multifaceted tradition, Daoism in the 2…,500 years of its history has related to women in a number of different ways matching the complexity of other religions, where the relationship to the female is often ambiguous and ambivalent. They commonly see motherhood, sexuality, fertility, esoteric knowledge, and secret powers as closely linked with the feminine and evaluate these aspects positively. But many religions also relegate women to inferior status, considering them of a lower nature, impure and irresponsible, and often suppressing them with greater or lesser severity.The complexity of women's positions is particularly poignant in the Daoist case, since the religion is caught between its ideal cosmological premise of the power of yin and the realities of a strongly patriarchal society following the Confucian model. That is to say, cosmologically Daoism sees women as expressions of the pure cosmic force of yin, necessary for the working of the universe, equal and for some schools even superior to yang. Daoism also links the Dao itself, the force of creation at the foundation of the cosmos, to the female and describes it as the mother of all beings. Within the religion there is a widespread attitude of veneration and respect for the feminine, honouring the cosmic connection as well as the productive and nurturing nature of women. "This book is awesome. It reads clearly and fluently. The topics of the chapters make sense; the arguments are convincing and well-supported. The authors are thoroughly conversant with the fields of Daoist studies, Chinese history, and women's studies. This book has no rival. It should instantly become a standard." - Susan Cahill, University of California, San Diego" Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Ecofamilism proposes a new analytical framework, moving beyond ecofeminism, based on Western feminism and Christian theology, to illuminate Taiwanese womens motivations and how they understand their role in the environmental movement. Based on extensive interviews with women founders, leader…s, and members of six non-governmental, often religious-based, organizations from 1990-2015, the work presents contemporary issues in Taiwan from the perspectives of social anthropology, geography, inter-religious cooperation, and global ethics. Ecofamilism offers a new way of approaching life in contemporary Asia, engaging more precisely with while authentically portraying the experiences of Taiwanese womenwhose gender roles are ancillary to motivations of family, religion, and society. Its key concept of ecofamilism pairs the notions of ecology and family while drawing on Chinese religio-cultural traditions of responsibility to the family to illuminate ecologically responsible positions toward society, environment, and all living beings.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Leaving the Mountains follows the story of a Daoist lineage from its Yuan and Ming dynasty origins, through the fall of imperial China and the chaos of the Cultural Revolution, and right into the brackish waters of the present. Chronicling several generations in both biography and memoir, th…e narrative follows a historically secretive and obscure lineages descent from its misty mountain grottoes into the pulsating neon-glow of modernity. Focused as much on martial arts as meditation and mysticism, it is as brutally sober as it is humorous, thought-provoking, and inspirational. With evocative elucidations of esoteric Daoist concepts and startling questions about the nature of reality woven through its multifaceted narrative, the book deftly explores the profane and the sacred, the mundane and the profound, and that blurry line where they become indiscernible. Meticulously researched and enriched with unique personal insight, it is at once an historical chronicle, contemplative exploration, and deeply personal reflection. Leaving the Mountains is a refreshingly honest take on Daoist cultivation, the potency of lineage, and the indispensable value of tradition for our times.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The Huangting jing (Yellow Court Scripture) is a central classic of Daoist meditation. It comes in two major versions, an "outer" and an "inner" text, that are both revealed by senior deities and written in lines of seven characters. Going back to the early middle period, with major commenta…ries from the Tang dynasty, they are rather mysterious and poetic in diction, presenting the human body in terms of energies and spirits, towers and chambers. Without giving specific instructions, they suggest visualization, energy circulation, and alignment with the celestial bodies to maintain and control these internal powers in order to enhance life, increase longevity, and reach for immortality. Both texts, moreover, carry celestial potency in themselves and have been chanted since they first appeared. This book, after a historical introduction, translates both versions with their main commentaries, prefaces, and recitation instructions. Allowing the sources to speak for themselves, it opens a new vista on Daoist meditation, traditional cosmology, and the Chinese understanding of body and mind.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The Huangting jing (Yellow Court Scripture) is a central classic of Daoist meditation. It comes in two major versions, an "outer" and an "inner" text, that are both revealed by senior deities and written in lines of seven characters. Going back to the early middle period, with major commenta…ries from the Tang dynasty, they are rather mysterious and poetic in diction, presenting the human body in terms of energies and spirits, towers and chambers. Without giving specific instructions, they suggest visualization, energy circulation, and alignment with the celestial bodies to maintain and control these internal powers in order to enhance life, increase longevity, and reach for immortality. Both texts, moreover, carry celestial potency in themselves and have been chanted since they first appeared. This book, after a historical introduction, translates both versions with their main commentaries, prefaces, and recitation instructions. Allowing the sources to speak for themselves, it opens a new vista on Daoist meditation, traditional cosmology, and the Chinese understanding of body and mind.
