| Summary: | This article examines the nèidān training regimen advocated by Niú Jīnbǎo 牛金寶 (Xuánjīn 玄金 [Mysterious Gold]; 1915-1988), an influential modern lay Daoist practitioner. Niú was a senior disciple and formal lineage-successor of Zhào Bìchén 趙避塵 (Shùnyī 順一 [Accordant Unity]; 1860-1942), author of the influential Xìngmìng fǎjué míngzhǐ 性命法訣明指 (Illuminating Pointers to the Methods and Instructions of Innate Nature and Life-Destiny). Zhào is best known as the founder of Qiānfēng pài 千峰派 (Thousand Peaks Lineage), a sub-lineage of the Wǔ-Liǔ 伍柳 sub-lineage of the Lóngmén 龍門 (Dragon Gate) lineage of Quánzhēn 全真 (Complete Perfection) Daoism. In this study, I begin with a discussion of Qiānfēng pài, including an overview of nèidān training according to the Xìngmìng fǎjué míngzhǐ. I then explore the life of Niú Jīnbǎo and his lineage connection to Zhào. This is followed by a summary of Niú's "Jiǔbù gōngfǎ" 九步功法 (Methods in Nine Stages). The core of the study is a bilingual, annotated Chinese-English translation of Niú's major composition, namely, thirteen poems on Daoist internal alchemy. |
