![]() | A Record of the Assembled Immortals and Gathered Perfected of the Western Hills : Shi Jianwu's Daoist Classic on Internal Alchemy and the Cultivation of the Breath In this Tang Classic text from the 9th Century, Daoist practitioner Shi Jianwu describes how through adapting our own breathing to the breath of the universe and daily meditation, one can develop an astral body and 'transcend earthly matters to walk in the divine'. Richard Bertschinger offers the first annotated English language translation of this text with practical guidance for Qigong, meditative practice and personal development. Richard Bertschinger has published several translations of ancient Chinese texts and is a practising acupuncturist and teacher of the healing arts. He studied for ten years under the Taoist sage and Master Gia-fu Feng. |
