Hello everyone my name is Ethan Singh I hope to learn more about this topic from you guys apart of me learning is me asking questions to improve my understanding I read that there are two different types of xian which are long lived Dixian ( earth xian ) who specialize in yangsheng and immortal tianxian ( heaven xian ) who specialize in alchemy I am more interested in dixian than tianxian because the more and more I read up on immortality in taoism the more and more they begin to strongly imply that you have to die to achieve immortality and that immortality can only be achieved via a spiritual body ( which is totally understandable anything else would sound crazy for obvious reasons ) dixian can manage longevity by cultivating natural life ( yangsheng ) ingesting medicines is the root of longevity when one ingests Shendan ( divine elixir ) and jingye ( golden liquor ) one may achieve real longevity I mean longevity by Taoist standards ( supposedly skilled taoists can regularly live to be 150 while more skilled taoists ( the exceptional ones can live to be over 250 years old ) Even if one practices breathing, diet, meditation, and exercise then all they are doing is delaying their death by a few decades at most For example if you take very good care of your health then one may live from 85 years old which is about the average lifespan worldwide to perhaps 115 years old but this will be their limit For if one wishes to live far beyond this age ( for example 200 to 300 years of old of which I have found several historical Chinese accounts of people living this long ) then they must obtain the divine elixir and golden liquor can someone please explain what the divine elixir and golden liquor are and in particular how to achieve it I already have some idea about what all of this above might mean but as a deep thinker myself I am not stupid enough to think that I know everything ( which I do not ) so rather I wish to be more well informed by those who are more experienced in these kinds of things Seniors please impart your knowledge and wisdom upon me

Hello my name is Ethan Singh I once saw a post saying that there is a founder of taobums. Is that person the one who created Taobums. If so then what is his full name so maybe I could go and greet him and say thanks for making this website as it has really opened up a whole other world of possibilities for me

Hello everyone it’s me Ethan Singh I was wondering can anybody refer to me books that contain the best translations of Taoist internal alchemy texts made before the cultural revolution it could be historical or not it does not matter please recommend anything other than the Tao Te Ching I am on a budget so I cannot afford to buy every single book on taoism available on Amazon If I did then I would probably have to buy hundreds of books most of which would probably turn out to be rip offs Which I absolutely cannot do To help others of their internal alchemy journey please recommend the top ten books you can think off Everyone is encouraged to participate and make their own lists individually so that people on here can compare those lists put down here so that they can make their own informed decisions on what they would like to buy I think doing this would be very helpful for beginners I myself am also a beginner Looking forward to what our Taoist seniors have to say

Taoist internal alchemy text translation recommendations
Ethan singh posted a topic in Daoist Textual Studies
Hello everyone my name is Ethan Singh I am looking for the best Taoist internal alchemy text translation recommendations in books I can buy on Amazon I am coming here for help because just like most people I don’t have the money to buy every single translated Taoist internal alchemy text book on the western market but narrowing down my choice to the top ten books of this kind with your guys help would be most helpful and appreciated I would like recommendations on the best books in English that most throughly describe how internal alchemy works in as much detail as possible if you guys want we can have people on this topic make lists of the top ten Taoist internal alchemy translated texts if you want if not then that that’s ok but I still think making a list of the best books on Taoist internal alchemy for other beginners on their internal alchemy journey would be a good idea I hear that genuine and authentic practitioners of internal alchemy sometimes recommend to their disciples Taoist textbooks on internal alchemy that they can start out with -
Hi i would like to learn the authentic neigong practices that lead to the achievement of the golden body in Taoism I know that most if not all of people on taobums who know of these practices will try to keep it a secret but I wanted to at least try to reach out to someone who can teach me anyway
-
Does anyone know of this Is it called something else Based on my research devraha baba A 250 year old man knew of this practice It rejuvenates the body via the blood and oxygen By the way earl gray you are being rude and disrespectful to me your junior who is only trying to learn more about this
-
Hello everyone I must say again that the golden body has nothing to do with the Shaolin golden bell cover or any practices involving training the body for self defense or combat The golden body I refer to is the same transformation experienced by very advanced authentic kriya yoga practitioners that rejuvenates their body keeping it or making them young It is a true human body phenomena that allows them to live for well over 200 years or much longer
-
Can someone just suggest me to someone who can teach me like how someone said rudi was a good option to go to for gods sake can anyone be normal on this topic remember rudi does not teach any practices leading to golden body
-
Funny I was not talking about that at all man people really think I am a newbie I was referring to the fact that the Tibetan rainbow body for the most part only occurs upon death not always but most of the time and I was not referring to anything else
-
Does anyone out their have any other suggestions
-
Unlike the rainbow body
-
I forgot to add that one big difference is that with the golden body you don’t physically need to die
-
Actually I have already been suggested to go to rudi but he unfortunately does not teach the golden body in taoism you see the golden body I refer to is the same rainbow body that is widely known among Tibetans the golden body I refer to is the same as achievement of becoming a golden immortal and using golden wave energy rudi does teach what is probably widely known as the real life equivalent of a Qi blast from the popular dragon ball Z anime it actually is just electric current as rudi states it is I am not looking for such a thing and as hard as that might be to believe it is true

Hi it’s me mr singh umm does anyone wish to help me if so please say something
-
Then what a cruel fate god has given me anyway if their is anyone who truly wishes to teach me the correct practices leading to the golden body but cannot due to the publicity simply email me on Taobums or request for me to contact you and we will work something out
-
Anyone who is reading this please go to authentic golden body topic by me I accidentally made two topics but the authentic golden body is the right one
-
Hi I would like help in finding a teacher who can teach me the authentic practices leading to the achievement of the golden body in taoism I know that most if not all people who know of these practices will keep their practices secret from outsiders but I wanted to try to attempt to contact someone who can teach me anyway
-
Hello my friend for responding and giving me some info to go on I will still read these books as it seems that it gives basic info about like you said neigong terminology etc however no one out there seems to want to simply tell me directly of indirectly via email of the people who can teach me these practices to be honest having to search blindly is understandably frustrating as it would be for anyone I would imagine however my mom was once apart of a cult she had no choice as she was born into it anyway she warned me of the dangerous behaviors some of the people I have reached out to are exhibiting they speak like they are brainwashed cult members fanatic on neigong frankly it is very concerning please advise me on what I should do I need to reach out to be taught yet I face people who make others pay 50,000 US dollars just for one medical pill supposedly for neigong practices please someone just give me a direct answer on who is and I Quote SAFE to teach me authentic neigong practices that lead to the golden body
-
Thanks for responding but personally I would just like to tell you I am a complete beginner at neigong so everything you just said makes no sense to me but that is besides the point what I seek is true longevity to live for hundreds of years plural not mere attainments in using Qi for combat As that is a temporary satisfaction that won’t last you a lifetime for example me saying with happiness I did a Qi blast finally Yah I am not seeking such things As someone who is 20 barely out of their mothers vagina I am seeking my life’s purpose in doing these authentic neigong practices I just hope that some authentic practitioner will have a ego small enough to teach me sincerely and honestly Although It is highly unlikely that their is anyone like that most of them will probably think oh another foreigner looking to make his dragon ball Z dreams come true avoid him pathetic foreigner I truly am not like that I just hope that someone out their will have the trust and unbiased heart to teach me
-
Hi I was wondering are there any teachers who teach authentic kriya yoga specifically the one that rejuvenates the body tissues drastically if so please inform me I would like to learn from them keep in mind I am a complete beginner

I sent the first initial email at the same time I posted here to reach out to you when I thought the email had not got through to you via Tao bums After several hours had passed I looked at my phone and didn’t see anything The email had somehow turned up on a completely different device in my home much later on by the time I had checked

Does slowing down your breathing rate and heart rate via meditation effect your lifespan and if so by how much
-
I thought the message wasn’t sent through to you because there were no clear signs of it going through so I tried to reach out to you here at first which turns out to have been unnecessary By the time I got your message via email it was too late to take back the initial message I sent to you

Does anybody know of any Indian medicine on par with modern medication I know of a few Chinese examples of this but not any Indian examples so if you do know about it please tell me

So I was thinking that ancient India might have been a technological wonderland far surpassing any other ancient civilization in herbal medicine, blacksmithing, and martial arts for health and longevity as well as combat and so I would like to talk about the amazing things ancient Indians could do
