Sun Bu'er ( 孫不二 ) - Selected Poems for Meditation - Taoism
Sun Bu'er (Sun Pu-erh, Chinese: 孫不二, one of the Taoist Seven Masters of Quanzhen, lived c. 1119–1182 C.E. in the Shandong province of China. At the age of 51 she took up the study of the Dao and became a disciple of Wang Chongyang, serving as a Taoist priestess. She eventually left her home and traveled to the city of Luoyang where after twelve years of practice, at Fengxiangu cave, she attained the Dao and, it is said, became an immortal. Sun was a teacher with several disciples, founding the Purity and Tranquility School, and wrote many poems.
