From my point of view, Charles Luk could not correctly translate the Title of the book of Master Chao Pi Ch'en, and that is a big mistake. What do you think would be a better translation of the title? Just curious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I do it, I will translated the title word to word from Chinese to English. The title has three words, “性命”，“法诀”， and “明指”, and I will translated the last word to "in plain Chinese".

Do you mind providing some evidence to back up this claim of "errors"? Quote Charles Luk translated what he considered to be the essential ‘core’ content of the manual, omitting a number of poems, conversations, explanatory additions, and some biographical material. This decision was taken due to the length of the original text, and what was considered at the time, the unfamiliar Daoist technical language it contained. As a consequence of this editing, the finished English text of ‘Taoist Yoga’ is designed as a highly condensed version of the manual, designed to introduce the practitioner to Qianfeng Daoism, and provide an authoritative referencing source. The original Chinese language titles of each chapter, (together with an alternative English rendering), has also been added to Charles Luk’s English translations in Taoist Yoga, so as to aid understanding and interpretation. https://icbi.weebly.com/zhao-bichenrsquos-taoist-yoga.html 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
