“Chinese culture is about harmonising ’sky’ and ‘earth’ in everything. Everything. E.g even chopsticks have a round side to represent heaven and a square side to represent earth.” (my Chinese language teacher)

Welcome to the forum. What Mithras currently writes cannot be understood as it is gibberish. As for your OP, I hope @Pak_Satrio might be able to help you.

You know you should. There are better systems out there, @Pak_Satrio has one he recommends.

The breath retentions risk causing a hemorrhoids flare up. The tennis bal use has a cyst risk. Don’t mess with your body!

Imo, you must immediately stop with the breath retentions.

The dragon on your link has 5 toes; definitely not conducive to good Chinesehealth. “ … five-clawed dragons were reserved for use only by the emperor ... when someone [else] painted a dragon with five golden claws, … were he and his entire family put to death …” https://www.sothebys.com/en/articles/enter-the-dragon-imperial-power-and-its-depictions

“The complete silence on the subject of misogyny so firmly entrenched in the Buddhist scriptures, and traced to the Buddha, is quite remarkable.” (from the quoted link) “Therevada Buddhist philosophy, which arguably assumes a monastic, male only, life denying flavor.” link https://www.thedaobums.com/topic/53989-relational-meditative-practices/?do=findComment&comment=995702

There’s also “come up smelling like a rose”

Hi MAR. Welcome to the forum.

@ChiDragon Thanks for the like.

Ime the DDJ does not concern itself with such concepts. It gives very practical advice of use for improving one’s daily life. Mainly with a focus on improving social interaction, stuff like ‘be tolerant’, ‘don’t brag’, ‘respect women’.

Hi Jason, I am very happy to see you here.

@Nuralshamal thanks for your post. It was not my intention to come over as ‘belittling’, so I will learn from your feedback. I have removed my posts and will leave this thread. Be well.
