The Secret of the Golden Flower ~ A Synthesis ~ Inner Alchemy

This reading is a synthesis of the teachings found in the text,
The Secret of the Golden Flower, translated by Thomas Clearly.
According to Cleary, this text is is a lay manual of Buddhist and
Taoist methods for clarifying the mind. A distillation of the
inner psycho active elements in ancient spiritual classics, it
describes a natural way to mental freedom practiced in China for
many centuries. The golden flower symbolizes the quintessence of
the paths of Buddhism and Taoism. Gold stands for light, the
light of the mind itself; the flower represents the blossoming,
or opening up, of the light of the mind. Thus the expression is
emblematic of the basic awakening of the real self and its hidden
potential.
