Forging a “Meta-tradition”
The Contemplative Foundations of Classical Daoism
In The Contemplative Foundations of Classical Daoism, Harold D. Roth explores the origins and nature of the Daoist tradition, arguing that its creators and innovators were not abstract philosophers but, rather, mystics engaged in self-exploration and self-cultivation, which in turn provided the insights embodied in such famed works as the Daodejing and Zhuangzi. In this compilation of essays and chapters representing nearly thirty years of schola…
Women Benefit More Than Men in Response to College-based Meditation Training
Objectives: While recent literature has shown that mindfulness training has positive effects on treating anxiety and depression, there has been virtually no research investigating whether effects differ across genders— despite the fact that men and women differ in clinically significant ways. The current study investigated whether college-based meditation training had different effects on negative affect for men and women. Methods: Seventy-seven …
Daoism in the Guanzi
Effects of Mindfulness Training on Body Awareness to Sexual Stimuli
OBJECTIVES: Treatments of female sexual dysfunction have been largely unsuccessful because they do not address the psychological factors that underlie female sexuality. Negative self-evaluative processes interfere with the ability to attend and register physiological changes (interoceptive awareness). This study explores the effect of mindfulness meditation training on interoceptive awareness and the three categories of known barriers to healthy …

Original Tao
Original Tao
Revolutionizing received opinion of Taoism's origins in light of historic new discoveries, Harold D. Roth has uncovered China's oldest mystical text — the original expression of Taoist philosophy — and presents it here with a complete translation and commentary. Over the past twenty-five years, documents recovered from the tombs of China's ancient elite have sparked a revolution in scholarship about early Chinese thought, in particular the origin…
Evidence for stages of meditation in early Taoism
The role of some form of breathing meditation in most of the world's great mystical traditions has long been known, but few have seen much evidence for this in early Taoism. By 'early Taoism' I mean the formative stages of the tradition, from its mysterious origins to the completion of theHuai-nan-Tzu(139 B.C.). Perhaps scholars have seen so little evidence of meditative practice in early Taoism because they have tended to focus almost exclusivel…
Redaction Criticism and the Early History of Taoism
This study employs the critical methodology called “redaction criticism” originally developed in New Testament studies, for the analysis of the relationship between two important but overlooked sources of early Taoist thought: the Kuan Tzu essays entitled Nei-yeh and Hsin-shu, hsia . Although the relationship between these essays has long been the subject of controversy, the author concludes that Hsin-shu, hsia (written ca. 200 B.C.) is a deliber…
The Textual History of the Huai-nan Tzu
Text and Edition in Early Chinese Philosophical Literature
Students of the textual history of Chinese works of all periods and genres encounter the problem that we do not always distinguish clearly between the concepts of text and edition. A further problem arises when one seeks to differentiate the strata of editions relating to the textual history of a given work. In this article, based on the author's research into the textual history of three early philosophical works, Huai-nan Tzu, Chuang Tzu, and L…
