Description: Harold D. Roth is a professor in the Department of Religious Studies at Brown University. His research focuses on early Chinese religion, Taoism, and comparative mysticism. He is the author of Original Tao: Inward Training and the Foundations of Taoist Mysticism (Columbia University Press, 1999), Daoist Identity: Cosmology, Lineage, and Ritual (University of Hawaii Press, 2002), A Companion to Angus C. Graham's Chuang Tzu: the Inner Chapters (Society for Asian and Comparative Philosophy, 2003), and The Textual History of the Huai-nan Tzu (Association for Asian Studies, 1992). He has also been a long-term student of the Rinzai Zen Master Jôshu Sasaki and has also practiced Transcendental Meditation, Taoist meditation, and Theravada Insight Meditation. Along with a group of colleagues at Brown he is working towards developing a new undergraduate major in “Contemplative Studies” that will study contemplative experiences from both traditional third-person and “critical first-person” perspectives.
