Aaron Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) Manitou has been kind enough to begin posting the Nei-Yeh over in the Tao Teh Ching section of The Tao Bums Forum. For those who might not know, it's one of the oldest Taoists texts concerning Qi practices. If you're interested in Tai Chi or Qigong, it's really a great text to read. It will be posted by chapters for discussion. Â Aaron Edited February 22, 2011 by Twinner 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Way Is Virtue Posted February 22, 2011 Hi all Found it. 18 page Word Document. The link to this was posted at some point and I downloaded it. PM if interested with email and I can email it out. Craig  Harold Roth's translation is also here: http://www.stillness.com/tao/neiyeh.txt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VCraigP Posted February 22, 2011 My translation is by someone named Shazi Daoren, a pseudonym perhaps? Â I find it often more direct and better than the Harold Roth. However I only just began to compare the two today. Â Wish I knew how to link to this original text so I could properly attribute it. Â Also, there is commentary by the translator on all 26 verses.

manitou Posted February 23, 2011 Center, I just noticed that the leaf on your avatar is floating in the water. How wonderful, and how very Tao. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aetherous Posted February 23, 2011 Oh it is? I thought someone was holding it up, and the background is a forest which is out of focus, or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manitou Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) Oh it is? I thought someone was holding it up, and the background is a forest which is out of focus, or something. Â Â It's possible, but that fuzzy white orb behind the leaf looks more like a reflection to me - you can see a little bit of water wave, I think. If that's the case, how very perfect..... Â On second thought, is it possible that the white orb is the reflection of the moon, and the shadows on the leaf are twigs in the moonlight? That being the case, you're drifting down the river of the Tao; what comes to mind is the vision of the master pointing at the moon when there is nothing left to say in verbal teachings, and nature then becomes the teacher. Â Your inner self may have selected this avatar unbeknownst to your outer self..... Edited February 23, 2011 by manitou Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VCraigP Posted February 23, 2011 I think you want this one from Shazi Daoren.  http://huanglao.org/neiye.htm  I have read 2 Chapters of it in the Harold Roth version and gave my thought. To not taint my observation I will comment and read first the Harold Roth version and then later read the Daoren Version to get a more insight and get my conclusion.  Q  Thanks That's the one.  Maybe even more polished than when I picked it up.
