Gingko is great, I take it. Helps with a lot of things and could be helpful, my aunt drinks Gingko and Hawthorne tea, partly for eyes. My Grandma taught us eye exercises. Look up, look down, look left, look right, look left and up, then move eyes to down right, then up right, then down left, then move eyes around in a clockwise direction, then anti clockwise. Also my Grandma would jump to turn the nearest lamp on whenever we were spotted reading.

It's hard for me to take sound advice too sometimes. -

The texts quoted in the original post of this thread sound a bit more metaphoric than literal. It is normal for teachings to start off strict and disciplined. Although this is not my understanding of it, I can appreciate where they're coming from. But I'd listen to the advice you've received, it reads heartfelt and genuine to me. -
I had a tape of music of his before I knew anything about him. It had a recording of crickets I thought was utterly delightful. I enjoy d the company of Sannyasin's before I knew they were followers of Osho. But then I was told to steer clear. Years later I could appreciate what a true guru is, and one is to become the beloved of an older person whom has lost their partner

Quiet about it at the very least

I doubt there are people on this site interested in Osho
-
I don't choose Osho as my teacher, but I did enjoy the company of a few Sannyasin growing up

Caring for the elderly can be a good sign

Replying to the question on a surface level. These two prophets emerged during different times of political unrest. Some of the tenets of Islam make more sense when taken in context. Arab tribes were warring and many women were left widows. Before Mohammed men took up to fifteen wives, but from what I hear Islam only allows extra wives if a man has the economic and emotional means. And then only up to five.

Funny, I actually watched a YouTube video about this Yesterday. It didn't mention direct pointing, but about transmission. It kind of said a transmission happens when the student has enough Chi and the teacher is willing to share

Daoist meditation: water and fire methods

I watched a YouTube video I was recommended from this site about too much chi creating heat. This kind of confirms what you're saying. -
Daoist meditation: water and fire methods
Dedicated replied to snowymountains's topic in Daoist Discussion
I only use tummo sometimes. I see it more like medicine to assist an imbalance. Buddhists teach it to people who have meditated for twenty years. I think I have found a yoga equivalent -
I venture that Neidan might be similar to Kundalini, and chi is part of both. I am currently learning about Neidan and purposely avoiding Kundalini as it has been too misunderstood.

Could someone explain the Buddhist belief system to me?
Dedicated replied to DreamBliss's topic in Buddhist Discussion
That they aren't mutually exclusive. In 'The Art Of Happiness' the Dalai Lama says all practices take you most of the way, however none of them take you to the end. That part is up to the practitioner. However he did impart that it's better to stick to one. Warning against picking and choosing the bits we like. In Assisi Christians are open to learning meditation from Buddhists. It's religious leaders that are open and understanding to other faiths, which teaches we are all essentially the same. We have good days and praise our cultivation, we have bad days, and refine our practice. But when it comes together we sense a feeling of unity. It is safe to learn about the mind from Buddhists and maintain an open heart to ones faith of origin. -

You don't have to choose between the two. When the Sun shines we simply bask. -
Esoteric vs Non-Esoteric Meditation Traditions
Dedicated replied to Robin's topic in Buddhist Discussion
I like to see relationships between student and teacher as their own business. A private sacred interconnection we can be happy for them and inspired to recognise that dynamic in our lives past current or future -
If I may ask, what is the tradition?

Sitting on two cushions in half lotus. Hands somewhere comfortably on my lap. Only intend to observe breath, allowing for distraction, not being hung up over thoughts coming. Not leaning back. Generally breathing through the nose. By steadying breath, air becomes exquisite.

I am wanting to learn more about ancestral Alchemy which is similar. I was talking about it the other day, and the person I was consulting said they read in Dreams, Memories, Reflections by Jung that a time comes when an ancestral trauma comes ripe for healing. When it comes to comparative religion we must make room for mistranslations
