The Seal of the Unity of the Three
A new translation of the main text of Taoist Internal Alchemy
The Seal of the Unity of the Three: A Study and Translation of the Cantong qi, the Source of the Way of the Golden Elixir

Golden Elixir Press, 2011
Paperback ● Hardcover
Under an allusive poetical language and thick layers of images and symbols, the Cantong qi hides the exposition of a doctrine that has inspired a large number of works in the tradition of Internal Alchemy (Neidan). The text is concerned with three major subjects: Cosmology (the relation of the cosmos and the human being to the Dao), Taoism (the way of "non-doing"), and Alchemy, and joins them to one another into a single doctrine.
