I hope @Daniel will be able to help.

John 3:5, water & wind (pneuma) cf Feng shui 風水, wind & water. 風 feng1 - wind 水 shui3 - water

The Greek word (πνεῦμα - pneuma) means “wind’, ‘Holy Spirit’ and also ‘fire’ (Pentecost flames represent the Holy Spirit).

To ‘be lifted’ was a euphemism for being crucified.

This second “you” refers to all people https://biblehub.com/text/john/3-7.htm

You go, dragon! Don’t hide your light under a bushel.

Thank you, I now agree with your translation of 沖氣

Beware the Judgement of Paris.

“water & fire” (John 3:5) cf “yin & yang” (DDJ Ch 42) 萬 物 負 陰 而 抱 陽 wàn wù fù yīn ér bào yáng All turn their backs on the yin, and embrace the yang; 中 氣 以 為 和 zhōng qì yǐ wéi hé blend the two primordial essences to create harmony.

Hi Needhelp. Welcome to the forum. I hope your problem will be cured soon.

I don’t think Daoism can be separated like that from Chinese Buddhism, as they have mutually influenced each other (and Zen has it’s roots in Chinese Buddhism). Also, did you look into the Buddhist Discussion subforum? And did you have a look at the posts of e.g. @Mark Foote , @steve @stirling, I think they are experts in this.

Seems to me to fit this thread too:

manage emotions and move beyond them into the one light

Thanks for the TLDR. Yes it comes naturally imo, happy proceeds and unhappy examines.

I can’t be everywhere, but at least I made some threads more useful.
