{"product_id":"the-zhong-l-system-of-internal-livia-kohn-9781931483445","title":"The Zhong-Lü System of Internal Alchemy","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis exciting new work translates two 12th-century texts associated with the legendary immortals Zhongli Quan and L  Dongbin, founders of the Zhong L  tradition of internal alchemy. First, the Zhong-L  chuandao ji, in dialogue format, outlines the cosmological parameters of the practice, then describes various methods of attainment. Second, the Lingbao bifa, assembling various revealed sources and commentaries, presents similar concepts and adds more specific practices.\u003cbr\u003e In addition to the translations, The Zhong-L  System provides a discussion in five chapters: Historical Unfolding, The Workings of the Universe, The Human Condition, Stages and Processes, and Key Practices. It makes both the underlying cosmology and the practical transformation accessible and understandable in plain, straightforward language. Beyond providing an in-depth understanding for modern practitioners, the work is essential for anyone concerned with Daoist history, cosmology, and internal alchemy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Livia Kohn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1931483442\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781931483445\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Three Pine Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/31\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.60d","brand":"Livia Kohn","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44181480472831,"sku":"9781931483445","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_86c68ce7-8f85-4661-9fb9-71593d0d859e.jpg?v=1690260681","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-zhong-l-system-of-internal-livia-kohn-9781931483445","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
