I like the contributed articles section too. I totally agree with Jessica on the lending library section. I'm starting to catch on to some of the new features, and I like it.

OK, thanks

Can you post it in divx. .wmv is unplayable on macs

It took me about 1 1/2 years to get back to somewhat normal. I had a bad reaction to the mesh, others I talked to took about 6 months to be able to do normal low impact exercises and a year to get back to normal. Then I know of a body builder who sprang back within 3 months. It depends on how you respond to surgery. Post op hurts like hell. If you use piss packs still use the castor oil for massaging the area. Castor oil has great healing and cleansing abilities.

If you want a free translation for comparison check out the links below. Bodri listed a number of other Sutras that would be helpful. Some of them are below.

Found a site that reviews hosting plans: http://www.webhostinginspector.com/index.php?from=1 Thought you'd like to see it.

Sweet. I'm glad to see it's open again.

I agree with Sean footnotes would be greatly appreciated and what exactly is the level of Bill and Nan? I know Nan thinks highly of Bill because Bill wrote the forward to 2 of his translated books in english. I've skimmed through 2 of Nan's books and read the one where he gives a retreat but no where that I see does Nan say I've achieved XYZ. Maybe it's a cultural difference where it may be seen as boasting, but it would sure be helpful to know where a teacher is at in his practice.

I'm interested in Bill commenting on the Taoist system used by Wang Liping in Opening the Dragon Gate. He is started off with Dark Room training and eventually combined with sitting properly. Then he is moved on to the Spiritual Jewels made up of: 3 Exercises Quiet sitting External exercises for balance Sleeping exercises 9 Methods Mental Capacities - 9 Steps 1) Retrospective training by returning to infancy a. Distinguishing real from the unreal b. Developing Clarity of Spirit c. Knowing the correct way to go d. Reduce food intake e. Changing into new clothing f. Seeing through the mechanism of Nature g. Revolving Time h. Gazing at the Moon 2) Stopping Illness 3) Curing Illness 4) Transmitting Awareness 5) Stabilizing the Mind 6) Settling Birth and Death 7) Cutting of Earthly Soul 8 ) Receiving Images Also I would like him to comment on steps to becoming a breatharian. And whether physical immortality is feasible for the purpose of guiding others to the Tao, until physical immortality is no longer needed, which I think Buddha instructed some of his friends to do when he was gone.

Cool. Thanks for the time and effort you put into this.

I couldn't of said it better. Plato is a stand up guy who has generously shared his experiences. Though I understand the conflict of interest point. Plato has a good rep and his posts have a good track record.

I was thinking the same thing SheepishLord. If you are going to sun gaze, at the very least consider taking betacaratene and other eye strengthening supplements.

Nice to see a female face around here. It would be great to see more women post to get a better balance of comments and insight. I like your website. Have a great holiday!

"View posts since last visit" is not working for me. It's been around 3-4 days since it stopped working. It says there are no new posts but when I check the forum there are new posts. :?
