Description

The Dragon-Tiger Classic is a concise Taoist alchemical manual that offers guidance on spiritual transformation. Written in ancient times and regarded as the most complete guide by contemporary practitioners, it covers three forms of Taoist practice: external alchemy, sexual alchemy, and internal alchemy. These practices aim to cultivate health, longevity, and immortality through the ingestion of minerals, herbs, and other substances, the use of a partner's energy for personal cultivation, and meditation, calisthenics, and yogic postures. The manual is supplemented by an introduction and two commentaries from traditional Chinese authors, providing insight into its symbolic text. This translation of the Dragon-Tiger Classic offers a unique opportunity to explore Taoist alchemy and its principles.
