About the Second Edition

This second edition of Awakening to the True Reality by Zhang Boduan (《悟真篇》) presents the first complete English translation of one of Daoism's most essential works on internal alchemy (內丹, nèidān). Traditionally attributed to the Song dynasty adept Zhang Boduan (張伯端), the Wu Zhen Pian has guided generations of Daoist practitioners on the subtle process of refining Essence, cultivating Qi, and returning to the Original Spirit.

Building on the first edition, this expanded version offers greater precision, textual fidelity, and structural completeness. The entire classical Chinese text is included alongside a refined, line-by-line English translation. Each verse is accompanied by detailed commentary grounded in traditional Neidan doctrine, designed to clarify the symbolic language and alchemical transformations at the heart of Zhang Boduan's teaching.
