About the Event
Yang Sheng 養生: Nourishing Life: Chinese Medical Wisdom for the Preservation of Life:
One of the main goals of Chinese medicine is to help preserve wellness and promote longevity. Within the Taoist tradition, Yang Sheng practices can be an important tool in preserving one’s mind and body into old age, essentially buying time to complete spiritual cultivation practices. While notable figures such as Zhuangzi have criticized the desire for longevity, nonetheless it has deep roots in Chinese culture. A wide variety of useful techniques have been preserved through various traditions that can be utilized both to help preserve our own health and that of our patients.
