Features: How was the universe generated with heaven and earth and all things? What is the true function of the human mind? Can self-cultivation and health preservation extend life? Since ancient times, people have been persistently exploring these questions, and the mysticism that emerged in ancient China, India, and Egypt were all centered around these themes. From the perspectives of culture and medicine, the renowned Taiwanese scholar Mr. Nan Huaijin discusses Taoism, Esoteric Buddhism, and Eastern mysticism. The book is divided into three parts: Part 1 primarily discusses the history, theory, and practice of Esoteric Buddhism, especially the cultivation methods of the "Three Mysteries" (Body, Speech, and Mind); Part 2 mainly explains the I Ching and the medical principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, particularly the issue of Qi and Meridians; Part 3 includes relevant specialized essays and prefaces.
