Thanks, Shon! Yes, my wife mentioned antique shops, but I told her I didn't think so.

Yes, that is true. I'm pretty new here and the only reason I went over in that area was for Mak's post. Sorry I don't mean to offend any of you all.

I'm also searching for altar supplies. I'm looking for a good incense burner and such. There is a local Oriental Market that sells such things, but there rather cheap looking. We wanted something nicer.

Congratulations on the new school. Sorry I'm no help for the renovations. I'm sure you'll find a good Yoga teacher being in New York. All The Best,

You, guys, I'm trying to get into contact with him and all I get is a Chinese answering machine and an invalid e-mil address. I've tried the PM's, but I don't think there working.

Be careful, These women you are so compassionate towards often have really serious problems, IMO. I once had a girl friend that had similar problems and let me tell you as loving as she was it was not worth the drama. I'm saying this as I look back now by the way. We constantly had the ups and downs and of course cheating, etc. If your into that kind of thing go for it. I held her dear to my heart and got hurt big time. In my mind I would steer clear. All the Best,

Mal, I don't think it's worth the risk, just do your Tai Chi.

I know some of his ideas might seem very strange to some, but I think his heart is in the right place. As far as his received some enlightenment in front of the altar is concerned I wouldn't go around telling everybody. Some people with think your nuts. His name I believe is an honorific title. As far as a Korean scam is concerned I have never heard of such a thing.

I think, Michael, said it best. Recently I've been finding myself spending entirely too much time on the internet. Entertaining as it is, I don't think it's a beneficial as one might think. Soon I too shall curb my internet appetite, but not completely.

woody, thanks for your input. I'll have to read more later.

Wow dargonfire! I think "True Masters" still have to learn too. Though I have know of a few that decided to not partake in the hustle and bustle of everyday life that we lead. They either chose to remove themselves from society or chose to die at a date and time of their own choosing. Anyhow, what made you came to think of the list above. IMO, there are some that have chosen not to give up, yet. They decide to live amongst us and leave their transmissions.

Ha Ha! I think she had one to many orgasms.

Hope you find peace!

Thank you YM Wong, but I'd be interested in the masters opinion. LOL!!!

Wrong, I'm ready to receive this Fu, but it is still unavailable to me. Mak Tin Si, please intervene my buddy/..

Dear Mak Tin Si, I'm sorry you stepped on so many toes. As you probably already know a great deal of people in Western Culture choose to view dogs as part of the family. I myself do not currently have any dogs, but I was brought up with a number of them. By brought up I mean we had 21 dogs at any one time. So I can imagined in your mind this would be bad FU. Mak, Old China is dead, dog's today are viewed as food, etc. Anyhow, you never told me what part your from anyways. You know this stuff already. Anyways, I hope there is someway a Taoist can live in commune with nature. How about, drug sniffing dogs, Search and rescue, and dogs for handicappers.

Mak Tin Si, what do they do with the leavings? It was my understanding they would use them as fertilizer for food crops.

I'm very glad to see your students expressing themselves, MTS. IMO, it is very admirable. It makes me want to learn more. Good luck you all and happy new year.

I'm not going to read it all, but I have heard of a small group of so called elite members of society. This group is very wealthy and often meet in secret (like Switzerland) to discuss their plans. But if you ask me it sounds a lot like a conspiracy theory. According to what I've heard they decide on wars, economic events, governments, and etc. For me, I personally wouldn't worry about it. Yes, there are also theory's that the world as we know it is on the brink of disaster. Namely, the USA, in one report I heard of will disintegrate into a number of small states (countries) reminiscent of European States or the Chinese Warring States (from history). Anyways, I wouldn't give much merit to everything you read on the internet. Especially when it comes from an anonymous person as it's easy to convulet things. As troubling as events seem we must stayed centered and adapt to changing social and economical conditions, IMO.

Hum, weird. Very well written, but weird.

Your welcome!

I know of the teacher, but I am not familiar with that book. IMO, I'd rather learn from a live teacher than a book. But that is just my opinion.

Is this guy for real? Or does he want to get banned?

I think he's a good guide, but misunderstood!

Stigeward, how come you keep asking everyone how they like their tea? By the way welcome, Fletch!
