I want to thank all those who have shared this, I was unaware of how many reposts it has gotten; thank you!

Things are more urgent. I got back after once again unclear if they did the inspection, and found this in the door.

The cover of Chinese Buddhist Texts: An Introductory Reader, by Graham Lock and Gary Linebarger, published by Routledge.

I've been working with this book recently and I've found it fairly useful. It isn't perfect—there are a few flubs with the pinyin and Sanskrit, and I think it needed more decisive input from an editor—but the selection of texts is good and I've learned a lot so far.

text from Regardie's Complete Golden Dawn, reading: "The simplest rhythm for the beginner is the Fourfold Breath. 1. Empty the lungs and remain thus while counting 4. 2. Inhale, counting 4 so that you feel filled with breath to the throat. 3. Hold this breath while counting 4. 4. Exhale, counting 4 till the lungs are empty."

literally nobody told me "square breathing" was an exercise from the First Knowledge Lecture for the Neophyte

the reason so much Chinese literature in English translation is kind of staid and boring is that the translators are censoring it, cleaning it up, making it more presentable, more aseptically "modern"

in reality, a lot of Ming-Qing novels are often quite... angular; that's really their house style

A 1842 French sinology article cover with 4 CN characters 其事好还” with Latin trans: “Quod ore prodit ad os revertitur. Prov.”
written by Guillaume Pauthier, who was comparing his own Dao De Jing道德经 trans with Stanislas Julien.
It’s one episode in longrunning debate between the two over trans of DDJ.

Worth noting that this is a continuation of a very, very ancient discipline. Although back in 1815 BCE—when someone was asked to draw this one up—they went far beyond 12 when studying multipliers.
