Cultivating the Energy of Life: A Translation of the Hui-Ming Ching and Its Commentaries

This is an interesting book about Taoism meditation written during the period when Taoism was influenced by Chan Buddhism. I enjoyed the glimpse back into the past.

This book is short yet requires attention to meaning. I have read and reread this book several times since I received it and have not tired of its contents. Each read opens a new understanding of life.

Wonderful collection, clear and insightful translations, and astounding, life-changing material. It will rock your world.

Good book to be read slowly so you can digest it. Energy is what we all need in our later years.

Great book ! Confusing, but stick with it !!!

Great translation! Recommended, a good overview.

I love chi kung, I have been doing Transcendental Mediation for the past 42 years but none of these efforts are going to get us to the Tao that is described in these ancient texts. For all but the very, very few, the goal will not be reached following these methods.The good news is that now there is a direct, fast, easy track to reach these states of higher consciousness. Oneness Blessing is available so we no longer have to engage in these laborious old methods that only got you to the goal if you were very close to it anyway because of having a pure nervous system from previous lifetimes of being on the path and having already done the work. The Universe has sent a modern day avatar in southern India called Sri Bhagavan who brought us the Oneness Energy. I kid you not. Take the super highway, stay off the byways.

Insightful information.

Gives an broad idea about real life

A very interesting read. I found it very much like its title!!!

Interesting

Eva Wong has done a great service to any people who are seriously pursuing the Way by translating many of the classic Taoist texts. Her translations are not the dry, scholarly versions but are based on the fact that she is a practicing Taoist.In this slim volume she translates one of the original Taoist Qigong texts which covers many aspects of cultivation. Included are some basic theory and excellent discussions of methods - including original illustrations from the text. These illustrations are a boon since there is a lot of information to be gleaned from them even without an understanding of the commentary.This book is probably best for someone who is cultivating intensively since, even though its language is not nearly as 'arcane' as many other texts, the so-called 'signposts' are not theoretical constructs but must be experienced. That said, for the intensive practitioner there is a wealth of information here.Excellent.
