Tao Boxer

Hi, I realize this is no small/easy question, but...... I was wondering if anyone could tell me about the TRUE purpose of the I - Ching ? Thanks

Dude, go to Rosstraining.com and you can find your answer there.

Hi, I'm reading Tao the Watercourse Way and in it Alan Watts states that neither Lao Tzu nor Chuang Tzu mentions the I Ching. Alan goes on to say that the I Ching wasn't included in Taoism until around the 5th century. Before this time the I Ching was basically used like the way that the farmers almanac would be used today. Has anybody heard this ? If so thoughts ?

Hi, Japanese culture seems to be influenced by Chinese culture in some ways.For example; Chan/Zen, as well as Pureland Buddhism , martial arts as well as TCM in the form of Godai. But there seems to be no influence of the TTJ. I was wondering if the Tao has any impact in Japan as it does in China. Or perhaps I have waaay too much time on my hands while nursing an injury.

Geen Hornet ! Both Kung Fu,s. BTW, did anyone watch Wayne Dwyer (SP) TTJ series on PBS ? I missed it , but was wondering if it was too new agey.

Hi, I also have this book. It seemed to get good reviews at Amazon. Problem is that it's all over the place ! Zen , Pureland and other Buddhist scriptures,as well as Taoism & Confusionism.(sp.) Mixing all different paths , too much confusion .

Hi everyone, Though I am a practicing Pure Land Buddhist, I have a strong interest in the Tao Te Ching and the philosophical points of view of Taoism. I'm looking forward to learning a lot from you all. Peace Vince

Thanks for responding, perhaps I should have stated it's main purpose. I mean that the I Ching is used more than just predicting the future right ? How can it lead us spiritually ?
