27 Jan / Original Tao: Inward Training (Nei-Yeh) and the Foundations of Taoist Mysticism by Harold D. Roth [in AsianWeek]
Discovered over the last quarter-century in China and posited as the foundational text for early Taoism, Inward Training is composed of compact poetic verses written on silk and bamboo that were entombed for over 2,000 years. Referred to as the “original Tao,” the translated text with detailed commentary highlights techniques for effective breathing, better health, and longevity – all things from which contemporary mortals could certainly benefit.
