This piece is in the form of a review article of Stephen Eskildsen’s recent study Daoism, Meditation, and the Wonders of Serenity, which deals with the history of contemplative traditions in Daoism including a detailed survey of their various direct and indirect links with Buddhism.While this essay presents a critical evaluation of this author’s work and its findings, it also seeks to place it within the wider research-frame of Daoist studies and Chinese religions.
