Thank you very much, especially for giving the relevant page numbers. Seems to be an excellent source https://www.persee.fr/collection/befeo âWang Zheâs violent and eccentric ways with his disciples became legendary.â [Wang Zhe = Wang Zhong fu = Wang Chong yang] -

Yes, unfortunately a lot of the big changes in history came from violent enforcement. E.g. the first emperor. -

I see he lived in the 12th century. So âreal taoismâ is outside of my main area of interest (reading the oldest DDJ transcripts). But it does interest me that PWT sometimes uses things for almost the opposite meaning. -

This does not surprise me at all. Reading the DDJ from characters, I find huge differences with the PWT * interpretation of it. ~~~ * Popular Western Taoism P.S. I am not sure what ârole playingâ means in this context. I took it to mean âtheyâre fakes, pretending to be Taoistsâ. Yes thatâs interesting, I wonder. Possibly also âwishful thinkingâ? Maybe political influences? IDK -

Teachers choose to humiliate students for several reasons: to gain control over them, because the teacher is desperate; to frighten other students; or because they're over-compensating for their own lack of confidence. (Google) Edit: I personally think anyone that is unkind to a student is not a teacher. -

Legend has it that Bodhidharma initially refused to teach Huike. Huike stood in the snow outside Bodhidharma's cave all night, until the snow reached his waist. In the morning Bodhidharma asked him why he was there. Huike replied that he wanted a teacher to "open the gate of the elixir of universal compassion to liberate all beings". Bodhidharma refused, saying, "how can you hope for true religion with little virtue, little wisdom, a shallow heart, and an arrogant mind? It would just be a waste of effort. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dazu_Huike -

Hallucinating âsiddhisâ in my experience is a side effect of intermediate stages of cultivation and best ignored as totally unimportant. The real goal of cultivation in my experience is the âmiracleâ of the coming into existence of 垡 de2 - virtue, morals, kindness. -
