wow, you have ling Qi 靈氣 ling2 qi4.

lol, in your quote “Sleeping for less than six hours may cause early death …” But if you add up all the daily gained hours, you might still have gained time.

Yes, that fits too. Interesting. Ah yes, now you say so I remember I heard about that before. Do you apply it in your own life? thanks for the info. Yes, every society needs such rules.

nitpicking

That was interesting to read, thanks.

Maybe they got it confused with the idea of the nurturing De in DDJ Ch 51 道 生 之; 德 畜 之 dào shēng zhī ; dé chù zhī - Dao created you; virtue raised you.

The 5 relations refers to Wuxing (五行 wu3 xing2); 5 precepts are the Buddhist morality. Yes?

That’s spooky, how would you know who I had replied to there? I had removed the quote. Anyway, “Redundant” won’t do then, it’s edited. Your picture reminds me of an idiom: 如鱼得水 ru2 yu2 de2 shui3 - to be like a fish in the water.

Indeed. That’s what Goethe said too, “In der Beschränkung zeigt sich erst der Meister”.

Yes, good point. I’m going to do some editing again.

Have a nice day.

(I just read this online, don’t know if it’s true) Allah gave Islam 1500 years, we are now in their year 1446.

吃苦 chi1 ku3 - eat bitterness; (idiom) to persevere through hardship without complaint, or even to suffer.

lol, I agree. My “consciousness” indeed is “non-dual”; but reality is dual.

Yes, and my inner world I did make non-dual (lifetime’s work); but the outside world is dual (not in my control).

lol. There’s no such thing as “a non-dual beef sandwich” (the bread is not the beef). But you can enjoy it non-dually.

Wow brutal, not everyone on this thread is “non-dual” you know.

Hi DBT. Very impressive credentials! Welcome to the forum.

or of hot stroh 80

That’s great. Enjoy the forum.

This probably doesn’t concern me but I have no idea what this means, so I want to check - am I being accused of something?

Indeed. I think this thread has managed to tick all items on this list https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fallacies

Nice one. As you said before (see I listen ), 無為 wu2 wei2 (in the DDJ) means - do not interfere with nature, do not force things to happen. So that’s a much wider meaning which includes ‘being yourself’.
