A Taoist text on meditation and personal integration
Presented as an ancient Taoist work, *The Secret of the Golden Flower* centers on a silent meditation method. Richard Wilhelm, its translator, understood the text as a practical guide to integrating personality. This edition identifies itself as the original 1931 edition, placing Wilhelm’s translation at the center of the book’s presentation. Its subject connects contemplative practice with a broader question of personal integration, while the description offers little detail about the method’s steps or the text’s historical context.
