The method of holding the three ones: a Taoist manual of meditation of the Fourth Century A.D.

About This Book: Based on historical sources from the 4th-5th study A.D. (the beginnings of the Mao-shan sect), this book reveals the meditational tradition associated with the supreme trinity of gods.

This tradition has a macroscopic and a microscopic focus for The Three Ones exist simultaneously in the universe and in the microcosm of the human body -- indeed, their presence in the human body is essential to the survival of the individual. Through visualization and concentration, this presence is reinforced and, thus, immortality is achieved. This book includes an integral translation of the basic scripture of this tradition, accompanied by copious notes. In English and Chinese.
