    @Master Logray My dear friend, I appreciate your insights, though I believe my intentions may have been misunderstood. My interest in Taoism is not merely about seeking solutions to personal problems, but rather a deep appreciation for its wisdom and a desire to integrate it into my life, also i must learn the Practices of Three Transcendence and only Wang Liping and/or his Senior Students can teach me that (as far as i know, hope i find any alternatives), please go to Page 1 of this Thread and read fully The practices and practice Names and what they do, there are 45 Methods fully based on oral teachings of Lingbao bifa of Lu Dongbin. I love to Join with the Dao, that's my Final goal, but for that i need the corresponding Methods too, also I am aware that becoming an indoor disciple requires significant dedication, commitment, and resources. My aspiration is to pursue this path with sincerity and respect for the tradition. While I understand the challenges and prerequisites involved, I am committed to investing the necessary time and effort to cultivate authentic understanding. I fully acknowledge that true cultivation requires time, dedication, and significant commitment, and I respect the level of seriousness you emphasize. However, my goal is not only to become an indoor disciple at this stage, but to find the most authentic and effective way to study and practice Taoist teachings which will lead to enlightenment. While I understand that high-level teachings often come with significant costs and prerequisites, I am open to exploring different avenues that align with my current situation. If you have any recommendations for authentic sources or experienced teachers who may be more accessible, I would sincerely appreciate your guidance

    i am in authentic neigong my friend, i love Rudi so much, he is a very nice teacher

    I appreciate your perspective, but I believe there’s a misunderstanding. My point was not about getting something for free, but rather about making knowledge accessible to those who are sincere in their pursuit but may lack financial means. Many great traditions, including Shaolin and Daoist lineages, have historically supported dedicated students in ways that go beyond simple transactions. I also recognize that not everything written in books is truth, but historical accounts and firsthand experiences can still offer valuable insights. Healthy skepticism is important, but so is an open mind. Regarding sharing teachings, I understand and respect the ethical considerations. My intention was not to take without permission but to understand more about a path that deeply interests me. I believe genuine seekers should approach these traditions with sincerity, humility, and dedication. If your school or lineage is not open to me, I respect that decision. However, I hope that we can still exchange ideas in a way that fosters mutual growth rather than opposition.
  14. How to translate 夫?

    The character 夫 in Old and Classical Chinese often serves as a sentence-initial particle rather than a content word. Its function varies depending on context, but it generally introduces or emphasizes a statement. In Daoist texts, as in your example "夫道者", 夫 often serves as an introductory or explanatory particle, roughly equivalent to: "Now," "Indeed," "As for" (when followed by a topic, like 道者 "the Way") Your guessed translations: "O friends!" → Not quite, since 夫 is not a vocative. "Therefore" → Sometimes, but not always. "As a fact" → Close in meaning, but a bit too modern. How to translate 夫: Philosophical or Explanatory Contexts (like Daoism & Confucianism) "Now," "Indeed," "Let us consider…" Example: 夫道者, 無為而無不為。 → Now, the Way is non-action, yet nothing is left undone. Logical or Argumentative Contexts "Therefore," "It follows that" Example: 夫天下苦秦久矣。 → Therefore, the world has long suffered under Qin. General Statement of Fact "It is a fact that" "Truly," "Certainly," In translation, the best approach is to capture the tone and function rather than translating 夫 rigidly.

  17. Wang Liping Contact

    Okay i have these 2 websites from master wang liping but none of them answered back: http://www.dragongateacademy.com/contact https://dragongate-academy.org/#e91f395c-6f94-49f5-ae51-5c05cf09b390 i hope it helps you

    Being stubborn with prejudice ruins the solution, it is master wang to decide he want to teach me or not. to help me or not.
  19. Wang Liping Contact

    sir, @Neirong my friend, I agree with you—it's not about wanting something for free. Who said I expect a lineage holder to offer me teachings without compensation? Who said I want Master Wang Liping to teach me for free? What I need is the opportunity to speak with him, to explain my situation. You may not know this, but in my country, our currency is one of the weakest in the world. Do you realize how difficult it is to save $5,000? It takes years of hard work and saving every penny without spending even a cent, it is equivalent of a full house Mortgage. Yet, I struggle with the idea that money should outweigh talent, urgency, or the needs of those who are less fortunate. In the Southern Shaolin tradition, for example, they help those in need—not only do they waive tuition fees, but they also offer support. This is the spirit I deeply respect and believe in.
