{"product_id":"the-taoist-experience-livia-kohn-9780791415801","title":"The Taoist Experience: An Anthology","description":"Containing sixty translations from a large variety of texts, this is an accessible yet thorough introduction to the major concepts, doctrines, and practices of Taoism. It presents the philosophy, rituals, and health techniques of the ancients as well as the practices and ideas of Taoists today. Divided into four sections, it follows the Taoist Path: The Tao, Long Life, Eternal Vision, and Immortality. It shows how the world of the Tao is perceived from within the tradition, what fervent Taoists did, and how practitioners saw their path and goals. The Taoist Experience is unique in that it presents the whole of Taoist tradition in the very words of its active practitioners. It conveys not only a sense of the depth of the Taoist religious experience but also of the underlying unity of the various schools and strands.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Livia Kohn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0791415805\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780791415801\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/05\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.08h x 6.07w x 1.00d","brand":"Livia Kohn","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43996818997503,"sku":"9780791415801","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e8f859eb-7fac-4717-8619-474c34f09ef8.jpg?v=1683343876","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-taoist-experience-livia-kohn-9780791415801","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
