A landmark of Daoist inner alchemy, Xìng Mìng Guīzhǐ-full title 《性命雙修萬神圭旨》-sets out a clear, authoritative standard ("Touchstone") for the dual cultivation of Xìng and Mìng.
Xìng Mìng Guīzhǐ is arranged in four parts named after the four virtues of the Qián hexagram (元亨利貞):
Yuán Collection (元集: Original / Prime) - Book 21
Hēng Collection (亨集: Flourishing / Pervasive) - Book 22
Lì Collection (利集: Beneficial / Advantageous) - Book 23
Zhēn Collection (貞集: Correct / Constant / Persevering) - Book 24
This volume presents the Hēng Collection (亨集) of Xìng Mìng Guīzhǐ-a late-Ming classic of Daoist inner alchemy (neidan) voiced through a Chan-forward sensibility. Where Book 21 (the Yuán Collection, 元集) laid the ground, Book 22 teaches how that ground pervades: how to circulate like a wheel around a still pivot, carry one seat through walking/standing/sitting/reclining, and use night practice to seal the day.
