Contrairement au bouddhisme, diffusé dans le monde entier, le taoïsme reste peu connu en Occident, sinon par le biais de ses pratiques corporelles tel le Tai Chi (taiji) ou par des traductions trop souvent déformées du célèbre Daodejing ou Tao Te King, le " Livre du Dao et de sa Vertu " attribué à Laozi (Lao Tseu). Le taoïsme est indissolublement lié à la culture chinoise, savante mais aussi populaire. Les premiers textes taoïstes connus apparaissent vers le Ve siècle avant notre ère, issus de cultes et de mouvements divers qui en viennent progressivement à former l'une des trois religions officielles, avec le bouddhisme et le confucianisme. En écartant les préjugés et les fantasmes sur les sagesses orientales, supposées radicalement différentes de notre propre expérience, Vincent Goossaert et Caroline Gyss montrent que le taoïsme, comme les autres grandes religions mondiales, est un ensemble cohérent, élaboré au cours de quelque 2 500 ans et plus que jamais vivant aujourd'hui. Il intègre à la fois une dimension mystique et individuelle, une description de l'univers, des règles morales et une vision de la société, une liturgie et des rituels, des sanctuaires et des arts - musique, peinture, calligraphie.

In China, in the first centuries of the Common Era, prognostication was a widely used tool of political decision making, of cultural and ideological expression and, increasingly, also of popular resistance. The Scripture on Great Peace originated in this environment. It contains warnings of a universal cataclysm and suggests a radical social and religious reorientation as means of salvation. Thereby, it connects insights and ideas of the empire’s academic establishment to experiences and concerns of the population at large. It belongs to the earliest textual sources for Daoism, that is, for China’s indigenous religion that took shape when the imperial government and with it the empire fell apart in the second century CE.The present volume documents the Scripture’s doctrinal and stylistic diversity. The selected materials stem from different parts of the long text. Some focus on eschatological scenarios, others, in contrast, on utopian hopes for the reform of humankind and its future under the auspices of “Great Peace”. Still others design schemes for personal immortality. In this study, these materials are translated into a Western language for the first time. The translations are accompanied by extensive explanatory annotations.
