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. What's inside:
What sets this edition apart

What's inside:
- Three Oral Instructions (口訣), each with diagrams and chapters:
- Nurture the Root; Safeguard the Treasure of Ming (命).
- Settle the Spirit at the Ancestral Aperture; Converge the Pre-celestial.
- Hibernation in the Qì-Cavity: The Myriad Wonders Return to the Root.
- Iconic diagrams explained in plain, precise English: Washing the Heart, Walking/Standing/Sitting/Reclining Contemplation, Method for Refining the Form with Jade Liquid, Dharma Wheel Turning by Itself, Dragon-Tiger Conjoining, Hibernation in the Qì-Cavity, and more.
- A concise About the Text and a new chapter on Authorship & Transmission to orient first-time readers.
What sets this edition apart
- Practice-first commentary. Step-by-step posture, attention placement (place and leave), and inner work cues you can test today.
- Clear maps, zero theatrics.
- Chan influence, cleanly integrated. Mind abides nowhere, no second push, Ordinary mind is the Buddha-mind framed within Daoist body-maps and Confucian heart-method.
- Safety first. Red-flag diagnostics (heat, tightness, panting, jaw clamp) with quick resets (widen, soften, slow by a half-beat).
Who it's for:
Meditators and neidan/qigong practitioners wanting non-mystified, testable instructions.
Readers of Buddhism & Daoism curious about real Three-Teachings syncretism.
Translators & scholars seeking a readable yet technically conscientious rendering of a key inner-alchemy text.
