Understood. I am not an expert here, I am a beginner in qigong arts and was recommended Damo Mitchell's course to start with. If it is a dangerous practice, then, by all means, everyone including those on welcome threads, should be advised and warned about it.

Does anyone disagree with this statement or thinks its wrong? Do you think you should banish people for different views and practices to your own? Or we should all follow the universal law and basis of equality and equanimity? Enforced by strict but fair admin policy?

Judging book by the cover, I read 3-4 posts and if I see arrogance, insults, ego and lack of virtue, I am not reading more of this! Be more gentle on people, not everyone can go through hundreds of your posts consisting of endless insults, same goes for several other members here.

So because someone is tired on dead end arguments, you must all group up, gang upon a newcomer like myself, @chino Beat him up in his welcome thread and scare to death with threats?

So treating people like shit because of skin color is bad. But treating people like garbage for mentioning some name or for mentioning some school is fine? That is what you want to say? @Cleansox I do think when @sean talked about racism and fascism on the forum, and how we should not allow it, he did not only mean skin and nationality, but a more wide meaning. I believe this place should be accomodating to various people, with various views, practices and beliefs. As long as they dont break the rules. Trolls, spammers, and evil people should be banned or punished - by fact, not by prejudice.

I think presuming guilty before proven guilty is straight wrong. This is no different than racism.. You are racist to anyone who follows John Chang? Why project negativity on everyone who comes and mentions this name? As wise man say, deal with issues when they arrive.. John Chang might have influenced millions people but not everyone becomes malicious or breaks the rules of the forum. Being mean and evil to everyone who mentions him in the first post, is racist nonetheless.

There is an Admin, he should be able to take care of all who break the rules here.

Please stop fighting, especially in welcome threads. If people want to fight or challenge each other, it would be wise to make a special topic or threads or zone on forum for it, or just go into pm.

@C T Hello, fantastic post. I am very interested in Buddhist tradition of cultivation. Would you be so kind to share some guidelines or reading materials for a beginner?

We should identify all the trolls, send info to our Dear Admin, and clean up this place, finally!

I am new here, and honestly, you look like a troll, I am reading through your posts and most of them are insults aimed at boosting self-esteem, by putting other fellow forum member down.. Or do you have some other explanation?

Is this result of qigong training?

Love listening to Sadhguru, modern sage of great wisdom. Inner engineering course is great and I can recommend it.

Brilliant post. Arrogance and Egocentrism of some self-proclaimed "masters" is striking. There is no humility, no humbleness, and I personally question if they have the level of development they talk about. I wonder if one can lose his skills and power in cultivation, if he misbehaves and mistreats people? Is it even possible for someone to get far in cultivation and still be arrogant and look down on everyone else?

I am newcomer to this place, but I did notice a lot of fights and insults.

Very interesting! Thank you for sharing. It seems like breathing is a method of controlling and manipulating Qi Flow.

I seek to learn more about Chi and daoist practices. How do you cultivate? How do you open Dantiens? Thank you! I am more interested right now at something that is practical. Is it true that Daoist Masters can develop supernatural abilities? Before I commit to a Teacher, I want to learn more about them, what they offer, what do people achieve through their training. As to make a more conscious choice of training system, before comitting years of time and financial resources to practice. Is there something to try and learn for free to begin with?
