Update: 2025-01-07
Description
J.C. Cooper's Chinese Alchemy is a book exploring the history and philosophy of Chinese alchemy. The text provides excerpts, focusing on the alchemists' pursuit of immortality rather than gold, their use of elixirs and medicines, and the integral role of Taoism, astrology, and yoga in their practices. Key figures like Ko Hung and their techniques are examined, revealing both the exoteric (material) and esoteric (spiritual) aspects of their work. The book contrasts Chinese alchemy with its Western counterpart, highlighting differences in approach and underlying beliefs. Ultimately, the text argues that the true goal of Chinese alchemy was spiritual enlightenment and self-transformation.
