  1. Actual purpose of the dantian?

    Indeed! One of those things that native scholars like to ignore when interpreting characters!
  2. Greetings from Bharat ( India)

    Is ā€œyoga breathingā€ the same as Buddhist/Taoist meditation?
  3. Greetings from Bharat ( India)

    Oh, you cheated, you changed it way after I responded to it.
  4. Greetings from Bharat ( India)

    Poor OP must be thinking, ā€˜not very helpful up to now!ā€™
  5. Greetings from Bharat ( India)

    Really? Itā€™s a huge country. And with only 0.7% being Buddhist, there might not be any Buddhist centre near to OP. Anyway, I guess you actually meant to inform @Narayana that Taoist meditation is identical to Buddhist meditation. The whole Bodidharma story I guess.
  6. Greetings from Bharat ( India)

    My question was, why would you assume the OP did Buddhist meditation? I repeat India is 99.7% non-Buddhist.
  7. Greetings from Bharat ( India)

    What makes you assume Buddhist meditation is more readily available to OP than Taoist meditation? I repeat India is 99.7% non-Buddhist.
  8. Greetings from Bharat ( India)

    Now why would you assume the OP did Buddhist meditation? I repeat India is 99.7% non-Buddhist.
  9. Greetings from Bharat ( India)

    OP did not say they did any Buddhist meditation. Really? OP lives In India, thatā€™s 99.3% non-Buddhist.

    @steve JKJB might be a sockpuppet. JKJB might be @Shadow_self https://www.thedaobums.com/topic/54064-nathan-brine-revised-material/?do=findComment&comment=992408
  11. Greetings from Bharat ( India)

    Obviously. So why ask OP about Buddhist meditation instead of the Taoist meditation, as they should be the same???
  12. Actual purpose of the dantian?

    The external elixer was found to be deadly after almost a millennium of use. Time will tell if the internal form will be any better.
  13. Greetings from Bharat ( India)

    Narayana is from India. Only about 0.7% of the total population of India is Buddhist. About 80% is Hindu, and about 14% Islam.
  14. Actual purpose of the dantian?

    Lightbulbs, Stars, Golden flowers. Lightbulbs, Stars and Golden Flowers, to me they are all metaphors for the same Light.
  15. Actual purpose of the dantian?

    A light bulb being switched on or not, best shows in the darkness.
  16. Meditation

    Nothing better to do (beach is closed)?
  17. Ask an acupuncturist

    Thatā€™s extremely alarming.
  18. Compendium - Illuminated Initiate

    and the unknowable.
  19. Let's Talk About Enlightenment(s)

    When one has experienced it, one knows. The light shines. When one hasnā€™t experienced it, one cannot exclude anything. Unfortunately then people tend to start thinking about it, that stops the process.
  20. Let's Talk About Enlightenment(s)

    No thereā€™s only one, always the same. Itā€™s literal. The light shines. Thatā€™s it.
