I enjoyed watching the video. I found it relaxing to watch, him being ‘in the flow’ (with Tao).

Great video. Not an ox (jackfruit) but the same skill. Feeling his way, following the natural hollows in the structure of the fruit. Sense of satisfaction in job well done.

@Taoist Texts what does it mean “The goal of alchemy is to shed all Yin”?

@Taoist Texts is this true?

(my highlight) That’s how mendicant monks make a living. Of course you can.

I do not need the whole truth to live, only my own experience.

Why think you need a recepy? Why let someone tell you you are ‘ignorant’?

yeah, you can wait till the cows come home.

Exactly. It can only be found inside oneself.

Exactly. Those Westerners who regurgitate what the Buddha said, just swapped one belief system for another. That will not get you anywhere.

Hi. Welcome to the forum.

Yay, we agree! That’s exactly it!

Same here, and that’s ‘enlightenment’ imo.

@Maddie I draw the line here. You are on my ignore list. I will never respond to any of your posts again.

No, he is ok, he is open to conversation.

@Nungali sorry if my post above was confusing. I thought the OP would benefit more from interaction with you (rather than helpfuldemon).

I still think (hope) this is not actually a Buddhist thing, but a thing some people do in any philosophy/religion. It’s called ‘deflection’ (in psychology). Methods intended for introspection, being abused to discredit others.

The DDJ is rooted in the yinyang concept, so dual. It prioritises yin, not yang (Ch 28: know the male, stick to the female).
