Equanimity, good health, peace of mind, and long life are the goals
of the ancient Taoist tradition known as "internal alchemy," of
which "Cultivating Stillness " is a key text. Written between the
second and fifth centuries, the book is attributed to T'ai Shang
Lao-chun--the legendary figure more widely known as Lao-Tzu, author
of the "Tao-te Ching ." The accompanying commentary, written in the
nineteenth century by Shui-ch'ing Tzu, explains the alchemical
symbolism of the text and the methods for cultivating internal
stillness of body and mind. A principal part of the Taoist canon
for many centuries, "Cultivating Stillness " is still the first
book studied by Taoist initiates today.
