I know what you are taking about. It is the buddhism stuff you are talking about, not much Taoism. This is not used in Taoism much, but we do have some FU that have this word. Mak Tin Si

Of course selling a lineage is WRONG! But being into a lineage, doing a "donation" to the temple to show support and respect for the school is really something a student who are willing to learn is very reasonable. THERE ARE NO FREE LUNCH in the world. I do not see you can go to school FREE and get your education right? SO you pay for what you get. The master is not SELLING a lineage in your issue, he is just requesting the student to make a "donation" to build a linkage between you and the lineage. This is call linkage fee which is "GIT YUEN"fee in chinese. To show respect, one must do a donation to the temple at least when they enter a lineage. If not, I do not see there is a need to accept the student. Because the student do not show respect anyway. They just want free lunch and fool around, which is yelling because they think they are poor and not want to spend anything on whatever they want. Waste of time. Red pockets are always used in the Chinese culture, in temples, people donate with red pockets to show great respect for the temple, the master or even the altar. It is part of the tradition and also in taoism learnings. So how does a master "SELL" his lineage by requesting the student to do a donation that is not $100,000? It is not costing you $1million or something, it is just a small amount for the whole life learning, I can just say the master is too generous and nice. Who can give you a life time learning for such a small fee? Do you treat your master like a "free teacher" when you learn something else? Sorry to hear that you are disabled, but you do have the choice to choosing to learn or not. This doesn't mean that you are disabled and should be specially treated by the master for free-teaching. :Right? Everybody is equal and learn the same way. Try asking Wu Dang mountain to accept you free as their student, guess what kind of respond will you get? Mak Tin Si

Spells are what uses your sub-conscious and also intention, energy transmission, and much more together, it is a very systematic way of using your sub-consciousness too. You do not know about spells, and how they work, so please really, learn before you comment. This action you just did is call "mong-yue" meaning false speech in Taoism trianing already. Which broke the 5 prescepts /rules in the baby step.

There is no free lunch. You neither learn it yourself or you get it yourself from the learnings. Why do you want me to tell you all these? Will it be benefiticial to you? It is doing much harm to you indeed. UM is a chinese word , OM/AUM I have no idea what you are talking about.

Also, by having the intention of "killing" or even "fighting" will also make yourself agressive, which lead to a fail in fights too. You can try that out in the "push-hands" of taichi. When you are doing push hands, the more you want to win, the faster you fall to the ground.

hi, Reverse sleep pattern is not good in general for any Taoist. This is because you are reversing the YIN and YANG in your body too. Which turns your life around in a long time and will change your luck from bad to good and from good to bad. So if you are really being chased after and many people just want you to be dead, yes it is a good way to hide and change your life. But not for a normal person. In the Ching Dynasty, there was a man who is a very famous person call Jeung ji Dung, he is a general who work for the queen back then. He is also a teacher. He wrote lots of books and teaching materials. But somehow he reversed his sleeping pattern. He sleep during daytime and work at night. So he actually call in people to a meeting with him around 2-3am. This changed his life aruond and made him a very successful man, but when he die, his tragedy comes agian. He was murdered and hang up in the forest, while dog eats his body and his wife was also like this too. After a few years, people found him and barried him beside a bridge. until 2006, he was found again and finally moved back in a graveyard.

The exercise is actually taught only the student of the lineage. You can get into the lineage online, and then I can start teaching you the practise. This practise is for your whole life, which you practise for more than 49days. The 49days cycle is for the first cycle, attunement will be given after enrollment, then you will do this practise to recieve all the energy from the lineage into your body for stage 1. For you, I will give you some 'extra' exercise to fix up this matter WITH the lineage's basic practise. So that will help you build up a straight back soon.

For your problem, I have fixed mine and many people's S spine when I was still teaching kungfu back in 2yrs from now. But now I do not teach it anymore. It is an exercise in the Wu Dang' s kungfu internal art system that can cure the S spine in 49days of good practise. Really amazing and simple. For the energy and spiritual side, I can say you CANNOT cure this problem. BUT, I can teach you the way to train when you train under the lineage of Chi in Nature. You will learn the first 49days practise which require you to do the practise in a sitting, cross-leg position. This I will be teaching you how to go through the exercise with energy flowing into the body and the energy will try it's best to fix the S spine for you for the long run. It will not be as easy as doing kungfu, but it is effective too. Just a bit more pain and need your mind to be strong. S spine are usually due to wrong sitting and standing position. Which create the S spine.

This is how taoist are learn to study in the temple. This will build the knowledge into the mind and also give a path of enlightment to the student while "reading". Of course, if you are learning under a lineage that do have this practise in the system, the lineage have it's own power / energy sealed into the method for the student to empower the brain and learn faster.

Learning martial arts , specially chinese kungfu, should avoid the intention of killing. This will bring to a stage where you build up your own heart devil and lead you to bad luck. The way how chinese kungfu works is to stop people from agressiveness and fights, while you stop, the opponent you are facing fall into their own trap and hurt themselves. Let me give example here.. In taichi, you do re-direct forces coming from the opponent, the hard the opponet hit, the hard they fall to the ground, that create the huge force they are putting on themselves, which made taichi powerful. Internal power are also there to achieve this level. For example, if you do have iron shirt trained, your body is unbeatable, so when people hit you, you allow them to hit and get hurt. Like hitting metal. You yourself shall think of nothing to harm others but to stop them from aggressiveness.

A book of knowledge can be absorb by reading it in your mind (YIN practise) 7 times and then reading it out with your mouth (YANG practise) 7 times. Do that all in 49days. After that, you shall be very enlighten by the book's knowledge. The reading must avoid 9-11pm at night. Usually read in the morning and night (before 7)

That is right! That is also how taoism is learned too.

You can proove whatever is passed on in dreams by experiementing their power and usage. If it is real, it wil work, if it is just crazy stuff, it will not work. I have done alot of these already. Why care about what people say about you when you know what you know is real? PROOVE to yourself. BE CONFIDENCE and BE TRUSTED. That is the way to learn in taoism. There are 2 things that is the MAJOR obstacles in taoism learning. One is confidence - trust in yourself Another one is HUNG SUM - the power to keep up something for a long time. like keeping up the practise in a long time period. Do not give up.

The YI of chinese are very person, if a master translate it, it is what THAT master get, so that means if you just listen to that master, you only get to where the master is at. But nothing more. You are then limited to learn to just that level. In chinese, the master who wrote the scriptures leave a big gap for you to learn the YI in different stages yourself. In Taoism, there are many stamps for FU, but each student should make their own stamps, why? because you cannot be limited to the master's level, you make your own and that allow you to reach higher level than the master. This is call self-enlightment in taoism learning. Same as the YI issue. It is great for the master to translate the mantras into english but it dosen't meant you will get it to work. It is a good and great way to spread the knowledge but it also means giving people a chance to get a preview of the mantra only, not to DIY learn it yourself. The reason to have spells, mantras, scriptures, rituals are to bring help to people who need it, to let the practitioner learn about taoism and the nature in a experiemental and self-enlightment way, to transmit energy of the master to the students for generations to generations. Keep the power of taoism alive. These are just a few I am listing, there are much many more.

Dreaming is a part of our nature. Everything in Nature can be a good thing when you know about how GOOD it is. So we learn about Dreams in Taoism study too. The mind can be very focus and you can still have dreams. There are also a method in taoism call "dream making" which you can send and make a dream to someone with using FU and mantra. You can also make a couple meet in the dream by using FU. This is call dream-dating. It is there for a reason. Sometimes, masters also will teach their students by sending tips for the students in dreams. Sometimes the master know what is wrong with the student, for example he know the student have stolen something, but the master do not want to ruin the relationship and still want to give the student a chance. So the master will try to send the student a dream to let him know that he have done something guilty. This way can lead the student to learning and also not ruin the relationship betwen the two. Dreams are also decodable with the scripture of dream. This is written by the creator of I-Ching, King of Jau.

Dreams are good because they do tell you alot, they reflect on your daily life and sometimes give hints and tips to you telling you about the future too. But that only applies when you know how to decode the dreams. This is taught in the system of Taoism too.

You are right the DAO is beyond language, but you cannot say TAOISM is not language based. I am takling about TAOISM here, not the DAO. The DAO is just nature, of course not restricted by language, but taoism is not. So DDJ can be understand in a shallow level with english, I agree, but it is too deep and advance for the WHOLE to be translated and taught in chinese. In Chinese there is something call "YI" intention in the language, which english do not have. It is hard to teach that with a few post, but usually students of the lineage get it in a period of time learning under me. I did respect others here because I am just telling off facts. If you want to see what is dis-respect, look at a few post at how some people abuse me. Wow. I was shocked too. Don't be too sensitive, I am just telling facts, no abusing, no swearing, no personal attacks, not even a slang... why do you think I am dis-respecting this person above? When you see people teaching others to cook with laundry powder, will you stop them and tell the others that it is NOT how you cook? Thank you sir, I am bad in the language of english, but that is exactly what matter, voice vibration and the over lapping voice frequency that make the scripture and spells work. I do teach westerners, they are learning and gaining alot of power too, but they have to do it in CHINESE neither. I do teach these students chinese too, isn't that nice?

No, you have totally mistaken this. Becaue how the mantras and scriptures are designed to work with the chinese wording, there is no way you can get the power in ENGLISH. What you are getting here on the first few lines are just "translation of the words" not translation of the scriptures and knowledge. I do not know how you can explain this, but it is something you will experience if you learn under the traditional lineage, you find there is much more than Dao De Jing. I surely do respect this DDJ for sure and LaoZi of course, but DDJ is not really the ONLY thing in Taoism. For chasing the demon, there are different things in taoism for that. NOT DDJ. I would be more than please to share more of these to you later on. But first, you have to really know that what you know and claim to know is really not what I am talking about. There are many things unopen to the public in the west. You will know later when I talk about those. Here, you do not use a knife to eat and cook. Of course you can if you want, but that is not wise. There are fork, chopsticks and spoons. Now you are just introduced to the knife, but never heard of the spoon, fork and chopsticks. That is why I am saying people here are just looking at DDJ and think that is TAOISM. No it is not all of TAOISM. It is not used for chasing demon. If you do, you are really being dis-respectful to it because you are using it in a WRONG way. There are EXACTLY scriptures for chasing the demon too. Not with DDJ. Knowing about what TAO is, is of course easy, but putting it in practical use is not. Yuo can say whatever goes in your mind and that is tao too. But TAOISM is different. It is a whole big study, something that not that simple as you tihnk it is. There are TONS of knowledge in there specailly designed for different situation and usage. If you want to cook, you use a pan or pot, but now you are using yuor plate to cook. Thatis why I am laughing. add-on to the above, You have said what TAO is not TAOISM. Please make sure what you are seeing and reading are what you are answering though. I can say 100% to you that TAO TE CHING is not ALL of TAOISM. It is not used for the method listed above by someone. It is something that lead us to enlightment and learnings of the great tao, but NOT USED FOR CHASING DEMON. It is a foolish way and a stupid way to use it to chase demon when there IS a special scripture designed for this. Which is also a disgrace to the scripture by mis-using it. Which is also what you can say a "disrespect" for the scripture itself. Using the scripture for the right purpose is really a respect. Please do not use a knife to eat, you can do it but it is not right. Just not right. My job is also to introduce the right way of using each taoism knowlege which make sense in the system. By seeing someone saying that you can use DDJ this way, which make no sense, is really mis-leading for others and this is why I must jam in. It seems rude, but it is benefiticial when you are the one who got mis-leaded by his post.

Yes, I can surely say the spells, mantra and scriptures DO NOT WORK as they are suppose to when you do them in ENGLISH. That is becaue those are sealed in the Taoism system by using CHINESE and NOT ENGLISH. This is becaues the master who sealed the stuff into the lineage do use ONLY CHINESE when they are creating these scriptures or mantras, which also include the "over-lapping" sound of the chinese words. These is not possible in English because the two language really makes a different. So I can 100% say that spells, scriptures and matras will not work in ENGLISH for sure. If you do not get the CHINESE learned well, even the words in the mantras, it will not work. If you question about this, then I guess you have to really learn in the system of Taoism in a traditional way to find out what is consider to be "working" and "not working". You will feel the difference. Taoism is a Chinese tradition, so learning Chinese is also part of the learnings. Just like fungshui, you can translate the basic baby stuff into english for the western, but when it go to the advance learnings, there are no way to translate it because the Chinese used are very deep in meaning. It can have many hidden meanings in oen sentence. It all depends on what level you are is what level you get. So there is not an "exact" definition to the words.
