"The secret of the Golden Flower" is a sutra of the neidan practice. Although neidan was so much encounter with the New Confucianism and Zen from the Song to Ching dynasty, but because of the mystical and obscure tradition, it is still lack of objective research. Neidan is always keeping its symbolic and metaphorical forms, that is to say, it keeps away from the light of reason. Amazingly, there is an extraordinary sutra through a fantastic process which is "The secret of the Golden Flower". First of all, it was translated in the German by Richard Wilhelm, and then interpreted with the view of psychology by Carl Jung. Especially, it effected the psychological interpretation to the western alchemy determinedly. By way of the psychologic master's concern, the sutra came back from west to east again. Now it is not only a local knowledge but also a national sutra. That is the reason why I choose "The secret of the Golden Flower" for my analytical text in this article. I will try to explore those dimensions which are ontology, practice, body, spiritual character, and religious experience. In a word, it will touch the transcendental phenomenon, "ch'i and light", in the mysterious experiences. |
