On the Need to Study What Is True --Appendix: The Composition of the TPJ --Bibliography --IndexThis first Western-language translation of one of the great books of the Daoist religious tradition, the Taiping jing, or "Scripture on Great Peace," documents early Chinese medieval thought and lays the groundwork for a more complete understanding of Daoism's origins. Barbara Hendrischke, a leading expert on the Taiping jing in the West, has spent twenty-five years on this magisterial translation, which includes notes that contextualize the scripture's political and religious significance. Virtually unknown to scholars until the 1970's, the Taiping jing raises the hope for salvation in a practical manner by instructing men and women how to appease heaven and satisfy earth and thereby reverse the fate that thousands of years of human wrongdoing has brought about. The scripture stems from the beginnings of the Daoist religious movement, when ideas contained in the ancient Laozi were spread with missionary fervor among the population at large. The Taiping jing demonstrates how early Chinese medieval thought arose from the breakdown of the old imperial order and replaced it with a vision of a new, more diverse and fair society that would integrate outsiders-in particular women and people of a non-Chinese background.Daoist classics ;3.TaoismEarly works to 1800Philosophy, Chineseacademic studies about religion.appease heaven.chinese medieval thought.chinese philosophy.daoism.environmentalism.epistemological.epistemology.how to satisfy the earth.imperial order.integration of women.laozi.non-chinese.practical spirituality.religious movement.salvation.spiritual revolution.spirituality and religion.taiping jing.translated edition.western-language translation.TaoismPhilosophy, Chinese.299.5/1482Hendrischke Barbara, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1038678Hendrischke Barbara1940-1038678MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910784410603321The scripture on great peace3762064UNINA
