Yen Hui Posted April 15, 2007 (edited) While none of the following online recommendations actually qualify as meditation manuals, strictly speaking, (except the last one, perhaps, on the Golden Flower, which is actually two-links-in-one,) they are, nontheless, relevant canonical sources, a few of which are just a paragraph or two long. My original thought was to only post numbers 4 and 15, but then thought afterward to include the other links which are of a related interest. Technically they don't belong in this thread, but they are not totally foreign to it either. These are texts that merit deep and prolonged contemplation from within the context of the life and practice of meditation itself :- CANONICAL SOURCES:- 01 - Huainan Tzu's History of the Great Tao 02 - Lieh Tzu's Account of the Yellow Emperor 03 - The Yellow Emperor's Clue to the Unseen 04 - Kuan Tzu's Tradition on Inward Cultivation 05 - Deeper Implications of the Book of Changes 06 - On the Yarrow Stalks and Hexagram Lines 07 - On the Use of the Book of Changes 08 - Hexagram 02 - On the Receptive 09 - Hexagram 52 - On Keeping Still 10 - Lieh Tzu's Account of Confucius 11 - Chuang Tzu on Mental Fasting 12 - On Universal Understanding 13 - On the Imprint of the Heart 14 - On Respiration of the Embryo 15 - On the Secret of the Golden Flower Edited April 16, 2007 by Yen Hui Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
noah Posted April 16, 2007 http://www.falundafa.org/eng/books.htm Both Zhuan Falun, and the book Falun Gong are excellent. FG contains the actual meditation exercise, but Zhuan Falun is far more comprehensive. It is all in there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thelerner Posted April 17, 2007 Here's a 'Course on Consciousness' a week by week course on indepth dream work. Seems like a good method, well thought out, well done, but personally it didn't help me. If your interested in dream practice its worth a look and maybe a print out.
