"The concept of alchemy in Daoist philosophy describes the process of individual transformation that occurs as a result of long-term meditation practice.

In clear and engaging language, Ten Discourses on Daoist Alchemy shows us that alchemy is not something one does, but a process that unfolds when one "does nothing"-meaning abiding in one's basic, primordial state. It teaches the entire process of Daoist inner alchemy cultivation through meditation practices and includes authentic explanations of fundamental theories and methods needed to actually start walking the path.
