[I use this webpage to 1) organize bibliographic information about books in my personal library (VSCL = Valley Spirit Center Library) in Red Bluff, California; 2) organize URL links to Internet WWW resources that I find useful; 3) keep notes on resources useful in Taoist research; 4) share information with others interested in the same subjects. There are many other excellent and extensive bibliographies about Taoism on the Internet; and Internet search engines like Google provide ample indexing of Internet WWW webpages about Taoism. This document just helps me organize my own research into Daoism (Taoism).]

Daoist Blogs, Taoist Blogs
The number of blogs or weblogs about Daoism has increased greatly over the last four years. However, many bloggers cannot often sustain the interest or energy needed to continue posting for long periods of time, and many of these new blogs wither and die after less than 50 posts. Nevertheless, some of Daoist "orientated" blogs have been online for years and have very informative, insightful, and well written posts. Blog readers use an RSS feed reader to collect posts from blogs; and, I use Feed Demon to gather posts from blogs I am interested in reading.

Kohn , Livia 1956-
Livia Kohn, Ph.D., is a world-renowned scholar of Daoism and professor of Religion and East Asian Studies at Boston University. She received her Ph.D. in Chinese Studies from Bonn University in 1980. She is well known for her excellent edited publications, original writing, scholarship and translations regarding the religion, philosophy, history, thought, and practices of Daoism. Professor Kohn conducts workshops and give lectures at Boston University and at conferences. "Livia Kohn is Professor Emerita of Religion and East Asian Studies at Boston University. A graduate of Bonn University, Germany, she has spent many years pursuing research on medieval Daoism and Chinese long life practices. She has written and edited numerous books, taught many classes on Asian religions, and worked on a large variety of related projects. Livia Kohn has practiced taiji quan, qigong, meditation, and other Asian self-cultivation practices for over twenty years. She is also a certified instructor of Kripalu Yoga and a licensed hypnotist. She teaches regular workshops on Daoism in New Mexico and Chicago and runs international conferences on Daoist studies. She has lived in Japan for a total of ten years and traveled widely in Asia, especially China, Korea, and Thailand." "Livia Kohn graduated from Bonn University, Germany, in 1980. She then spent six years doing research at the Institute for Research in Humanities of Kyoto University in Japan, after which she joined Boston University as Professor of Religion and East Asian Studies. She has also worked variously as visiting professor and adjunct faculty at Lorand University in Budapest, the Stanford Center for Japanese Studies in Kyoto, Union Institute in Cincinnati, Ohio, and San Francisco State University. She has served on numerous committees and editorial boards, and organized a series of major international conferences on Daoism."
Professor Kohn has greatly influenced my thinking about Daosim, Internal Alchemy, Daoyin, the History of Daoism, Neidan, and Chinese philosophy. I find her writing style to be very clear, highly informative, and engaging.
Here are the books by Professor Kohn that I have read many times and are part of my personal library (VSCL):
