Well since I dont read Japanese ill half to read this like a hieroglyphic or something. So its translated to something like this. "Eating doritos will make you so cool almost like you were stomping on someones nuts. An if your nuts are the one being stomped on you wont care because doritos is that good!! Its nut Stomping-Tastic!" Ok heres my question. How do they sell this in stores and no one bats an eye?! If I went to japan and saw this it would ruin my whole trip. I would take pictures with the bag, id buy a bulk load and hand them out for free and so on.

Thx for the reply. Well to then follow the thought further it is also my opinion that the chens did not teach Yang Lu Chan the chen style but instead temple style taichi and from that he made yang family taichi. So this way the Chen family taught him taichi but did not violate their family rule of teaching the chen style to the outsiders.

That looks like a little more than wrestling why is the guy whose nuts are being stomped on smiling? And the guy who is doing the nut stomping is just too cool hes even wearing sunglasses.

If you guys like the mopai stuff then you might like wuxiaedge.com Its pretty cool for entertainment. I dont even watch regular tv anymore lol

What I was watching.

Well its just a sad issue all around. From an outsider perspective my take on it is this. John the former head master of the sect decided to accept westerners and a higher former head master didnt like that. John told jim what happened and he also told him to keep practicing..... Now heres the subtext. There is a dispute between the higher ups in the lineage. John had to adhere to the request from his senior but that didnt mean that he wasnt going to do anything about it. This was a dispute between 2 masters of the sect about the future and direction of the sect. Something students should not get involved with. In taoist and kung fu sects there is politics.... If jim would have remained silent and just practiced who knows what would have happened. Knowing when to bow out when something is beyond you is healthy.

In today's modern society people talk about becoming rich like reaching enlightenment. Well what if things were flipped. Lets say that your your very earthly survival was based on attaining higher levels of enlightenment. And this of course was some how currency. I wonder how different society would be?

1. Vast loniness 2. Sadness followed by bliss 3. Ending up with more questions than answers. and the jumbo 4th hidden reason......Doritos still cost the same!!!!

Thanks for the reply that confirms what I was also thinking about. That taichi meditation was in existence before before san chang feng as taichi is a phiosphy as well. With what you said in this thread and with my prior thoughts tehn id have to concur that the temple style taichi is the original taichi. Thus its similarities to wudang and yang style. And that the chen style was the family's cannon fist which was in existence before chen family taichi. So the chen's took temple style and adapted it to thier family cannon fist boxing giving birth to the chen style taichi. There for adding to the confusion of scholars. Chen style was the first family taichi. Wudang is where the meditations of temple style taichi found a home and grew. But neither is the originator of taichi meditations. As taichi is a very very ancient philosophy. This is just my opinion.

Your not eating enough! Eat rest drink plently of water and practice less. If advance energy practice is hurting you then take it down a notch and do stillness meditation.

Electric Bacteria would make the greatest band name ever!

No matter how many times Ive heard that Yang style comes from the Chen Style I do not believe it. For Yang is too different than Chen in almost every way Yang is more similar to Wudang Taichi..... In my opinion.

Just looking at this thread and the other mopai threads I almost cringe at what the official mopai students must think of us (westerners). So with being said Id like to say this. Dear Official MoPai Students, We westerners are interested in your school but we respect and honor your right to privacy. I know there has been ugliness in the past please forgive us as we are not all like this. The concept of honor does have a place with us westerners. Hopefully this virtue is something that we can show in the future.

"A Shaolin Monk can walk thru walls."

Cool thread. I read it and then this thought came across my head. The scariest thing about God is that he can get angry.

Im sorry I just dont understand any of this so please forgive my noobness and ignorance. I just see things here in this thread that are just unethical let alone moral. The leeking of private emails of mopai teachings to a public internet forum after the official mopai students ask to be left alone. An then to use the excuse that "Jim is dead now so its ok"....just makes it worse.... To present teachings and to use the name of a school that you have never been formally trained in is wrong. It just seems that everyone is hungry to get anything mopai that they over look basic human ethics in the process. Look I thought the magus of java was a interesting book but thats it. I looked at SOTG forum after the last post suggested it and I just dont get it. Wouldnt we all be better served learning real systems from real teachers?

Never tried standing meditation is it effective?

Ken I dont know if the meds have a name either. The gist of my post is we are all westerners and we should be more humble. I have no dog in this im pretty sure that just about everyone on this thread is more exp'ed than me.

Ok im pretty new to this forum and I only do stillness meditation. I read the magus of java and decided to do a search for it on this forum and super holy cow! I read this thread and..... Man O Man what is it about this stuff that makes the freaks come out? Guys I just dont know where all this ego is coming from. We are all westerners none of us really have the inside scoop on this. I mean I look and see bickering and name calling theories posted as pure and utter gospel. Where is the professionalism in dignity in these types of actions? My point being that we as westerners dont even now if the mopai training has a name to it. Im sure that the mopai doesnt refer to their meditations as mopai...im sure it has a name. Each level might have a name... And if one doesnt know that or if even thought to ask the question then they are no expert in that system. If someone was teaching me qi gong and they didnt even know the name of it or if it even had a name I wouldnt continue learning from that person.... Its a question of professionalism. How professional was the man who taught you your current training? From what I read about the mopai training in the boos it looks lie they had a lot of test to pass. Pushing a chop stick thru a table moving things from a distance and breaking a bamboo tree that is a few inches thick. Im sorry I just cant believe some of what was said on this thread from people who did not learn as professionals and had passed tests in their field of study. In no where in human society does things work like this. You must be professionally trained and pass your tests to be considered an expert in that field. Now me in no expert and I am very confidant in the fact that jim and kosta and john are more powerful than me. Sorry for the rant this was aimed at no one in particular.

I was meditating today and my now egf came in the room and go all over me about "meditating too much" . And then called me a bum and a few other things. I figured I cant be the only one who goes thru this. So I googled meditation bum and found this site :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub:

and she took my last bag of Doritos.. if I could have blown her up of my mind I would... but I had bigger things to focus on like getting another bag of Doritos. I downloaded the entire TV series of kung fu.

thanks all I can say it has never been happier since she's left. I've been watching Kung Fu and Highlander meditating left and right she wasn't respecting my stillness......
