I don't want to just take over the board with this but I find it promising that Lama Dorje is considered both an enlightened Bodhisattva and initiate into the secret clans of Taoism. Sounds like from what Max says all the different schools have the same teaching but just different cultural forms or whatever. Anyway..carry on with the Buddhism vs. Taoism thing..or not!

I am doing a 3 day workshop in November with Ken Cohen and Master Chen. Part of what we will be doing is a discussion about the alchemy of the Tao Te Ching. link

And on another note.. Just wanted to express my deep gratitude to Smile(Max) for telling me about Sifu Max and this practice and to Mantra/Chris for coming here and being so open answering questions. See you next week!

Because on this site we talk about the really cool stuff.

You want to have a thread to talk about the fact that we talk alot here?! Just make some jokes in my journal and use your time more usefully.

Yes, I beleive Trunk is a big fan of that show as well

Porn isn't going anywhere. Last I heard the porn industry is bigger than the movie industry. It's not really a controlling thing more like if your drawn to porn..well..watch it I guess. But if your a guy and you get into cultivation and maybe you find watching porn everyday isn't helping so much..well..taking a break is just sort of like the thing to do... or not!

I guess you can't blame him. Comments like "hiding behind the Lama title"...I don't know..honest interpretation? Anyway...I'll let Smile address this more if he wants. He has more experience being in debates with MW

It occured to me rating my favorite teachers is a rather silly thing to do. So..no more Top 5! LOL!

Nice points. I think Trunk hit this particular point directly on the head though

OMG someone over there is now saying to Winn that he thinks Lama Dorje is trying to set up a....energy practice monopoly by saying people who get into his practice should just stick with that. Funny..what I read in the book is if you decide to go with his practice better to not do other energy practice because they each flow energy a different way and might be dangerous to your health.

hehe...Ime not saying it is that way for everyone. Only you can say what the energy of porn does to you. I can only say for me as far as cultivation goes it is a huge detriment. But it took me meeting an awakened woman teacher to actually feel all that. Actually Smile/Max had talked about how the energy of porn messes up the transfomation of energy for like last few years also.

I don't really have a moral positon about it but have stopped watching porn. Though I would say I have alot of toxic energy from decades of watching porn that will probably take years of cultivation to clean up(I am hoping to speed up the process now with kunlun). Anyway...yeah..I am finding I appreciate and respect the beauty of woman I see and talk to every day much more now I stopped filling my mind with porn also. namaste

Nice! I would rather not put this up here but Michael Winn is saying stuff about Lama Dorje on his board. He said the video isn't Max and other stuff..anyway..if Mantra68 cares to respond. Winn is claiming he already studied with Sifu Max and learned some of his "main practice" that he doesn't mention on the website. link

edit

I have been told he will be in Phoenix in November but need to confirm with Mantra68 to know for sure.

Cool...was just reading your blog here(I guess you stopped posting in it few months ago). Sounds like you have been going through alot of interesting stuff! Best!

For some reason when I first read already made family I thought you were talking about the Mafia So are you coming to LA? Also...who are you? Friend of Max and Plato or another Taoist NYC dude?

I no longer play video games but the Soul Caliber series was a gosh darn good time.

Deep bow.

Looks like Lama Dorje might be coming to Phoenix in November. I am still definetly going to LA but will be cool to review with him in my own backyard. I won't say anything else about it unless Mantra68 or Qlites would like to but sounds like would be a great opportunity for anyone who can't make the LA workshop. Cam

No doubt but congratulations on your 100th post and becoming an "official" TaoBum!

Hey Todd, I know you have studied some Ken Cohen standing meditation stuff so easy comparison. My experience with Level 1 Kunlun has been just like standing AMPLIFIED. Or I should say..the energy appears to be of a higher quality but SORT OF similar. There just seems to be like a higher vibration to it or something. It is very sweet...just buy the book..resistance is futile

deep bow

Between you and me I heard rabbits are delicious. Just don't tell my Tao brother Smile I said that.
