Description

Explore the ancient pursuit of immortality in late classical and early medieval China with this scholarly work from University of California Press. This volume focuses on the traditions of Ge Hong (283-343 c.e.), who preserved the stories of ascetics striving to become deathless beings with supernormal powers. Through a translation and study of the Traditions of Divine Transcendents, readers gain insight into the diverse disciplines used to perfect the self and transcend death. These practices include dietetic, alchemical, meditative, gymnastic, sexual, and medicinal methods, some of which remain in practice today. This text provides a unique window into how historical practitioners responded to human mortality through spiritual and physical discipline.
