Zuowang
Zuowang (Chinese: 坐忘; pinyin: zuòwàng) is a classic Daoist meditation technique, described as "a state of deep trance or intense absorption, during which no trace of ego-identity is felt and only the underlying cosmic current of the Dao is perceived as real." According to Louis Komjathy, this is one term for Daoist apophatic meditation, which also goes by various other names in Daoist literature, such as "quiet sitting" (靜坐; jìngzuò), "guarding the one" (守一; shǒuyī), "fasting the heartmind" (心齋; xīnzhāi), and "being with simplicity or sitting with oblivion" (抱朴; bàopǔ). Zuowang instructions can be seen in classic Taoist texts from as early as the Chinese Warring States Period, such as the Zhuangzi.
