The Secret Of The Golden Flower

This practice comes from an ancient Daoist text called The Secret Of The Golden Flower ((Taiyi Jinhua Zhongxi), which uses the image of the “golden flower of true awakening.” Here we are taught how to close off our outer sight, which is the prime way we interact and receive information from the world around us, and instead, rely on our inner sight. The knowledge and experience we receive from this practice is called “illumination” or “lit from within.”

First clear explanation I've heard that also matches the text. It makes it more practicable for me. Thanks

Thank you!

thank you for this meditation. I've begun reading Thomas Cleary's translation of secret of the golden flower, tho not far in and seems as clear as mud to me. I will continue reading and meditating on it.
