Taoist Meditation

The Mao-shan Tradition of Great Purity

By: Isabelle Robinet

Isabelle Robinet's Taoist Meditation is the first and only scholarly study to discuss the ancient Mao-shan Taoist tradition of visionary meditation while, at the same time, helping to clarify the little understood relationship among the early Taoist classics, the Buddhist tradition, and the later Taoist religion. Most importantly, Taoist Meditation is a pioneering study that fully and accurately describes the unique visionary cosmology, bodily symbolism, astral journeys, internal alchemy, meditational techniques, and ritual practices of the Mao-shan or Shang-chi'ing (Great Purity) movement—one of the most important foundational traditions making up the overall Taoist religion. This English version of Robinet's work is more than a simple translation.Taoist Meditation presents a significantly expanded edition of the original French text which includes up-to-date bibliographies of Robinet's work and other Western scholarship on Taoism, additional illustrations, and a newly compiled list of textual citations.

Modern French Grammar

A Practical Guide

By: Margaret Lang,Isabelle Perez

This new edition of the Modern French Grammar is an innovative reference guide to French, combining traditional and function-based grammar in a single volume. Divided into two parts, Part A covers traditional grammatical categories such as word order, nouns, verbs and adjectives and Part B is organized around language functions and notions such as: giving and seeking information describing processes and results expressing likes, dislikes and preferences. With a strong emphasis on contemporary usage, all grammar points and functions are richly illustrated with examples. Implementing feedback from users of the first edition of the Grammar, this second edition includes clearer explanations and greater emphasis on areas of particular difficulty for learners of French. This is the ideal reference grammar for learners of French at all levels, from beginner to advanced. No prior knowledge of grammatical terminology is assumed and a glossary of grammatical terms is provided. This Grammar is complemented by the Modern French Grammar Workbook Second Edition which features related exercises and activities.

Méditation taoïste

By: Isabelle Robinet

Parmi les quelques mille ouvrages très hétéroclites du canon topoïste (Tao Tsang), ceux de l'école de la Grande Pureté - dont se réclamait entre autres le poète Li Po - dominèrent la spiritualité chinoise durant des siècles. Les pratiques de la Grande Pureté sont caractérisées par l'intériorisation de pratiques antérieures : les techniques sexuelles sont converties en une union symbolique des principes masculin et féminin ; les anciennes méthodes magiques, sublimées, se détachent de la quête des pouvoirs surnaturels et se concentrent sur la transformation de l'âme ; le rituel passe au second plan pour laisser place à la solitude et au silence du méditant. Considérés comme les plus profonds des Ecrits sacrés de la Chine, les textes de la Grande Pureté constituent l'un des plus importants maillons de cette chaîne qui relie le taoïsme des premiers siècles à celui d'aujourd'hui. Sinologue réputée, Isabelle Robinet nous en offre une lecture particulièrement éclairante.
