This book was updated to a second edition and released on April 4, 2025. If you bought it before, contact the author via Facebook or Instagram for a free e-book. This Second Edition of Daoist Cultivation: The Twenty-Four Essential Instructions for Disciples presents expanded and deepened version of the original work. While the First Edition offered a clear translation and practical commentary, the second edition brings a new level of depth, philosophical integration, and Daoist context. The commentary for each instruction has been carefully refined, enriched, and extended--drawing more fully on classical sources, real-life experience, and Inner Alchemy (Neidan) practice. Key updates in the Second Edition include: - Expanded explanations for all twenty-four instructions, with added depth in the areas of Xing Gong, Ming Gong, and the Three Treasures (Jing, Qi, Shen). - Quotes from the Dao De Jing integrated into the commentary, with careful attention to accuracy and relevance to the original Chinese text. - A new poetic farewell aligned with the tone of Daoist wisdom--simple, profound, and inwardly steady. This edition is a continuation and expansion of the first, offering a deeper resource for serious students of Daoist cultivation--especially those walking the path of Neidan, Qigong, or personal transformation through the Dao.
