My girlfriend and I saw it and we loved it so much! We thought the whole movie was amazing. Especially the ending!

Is there such a thing as a Taoist Diet? The research I have done, seems to points to some kind of diet. A vegetarian diet perhaps?

What kind of results? Where do you work? You do the practices in the office or outside? -
Interesting. Thank you for sharing. I saw this one film called: The Zen Mind. I enjoyed it a lot. If any of you who is interested in Zen haven't seen it, I suggest you guys do. It's an amazing film.

I have read Tao Te Ching at least 4 times and I have also read Hua Hu Ching as well. I have meditation of an off, but haven't been consistent with it. I have taken an introductory course in Tai Chi. I enjoyed it, but did not continue with it. I want to start it up again. I have never done Qi Gong, but have been reading/researching about it and it seems quite interesting. -

Oh, I see! Thank you.

Thank you! That was some great advice. What sites or books do you recommend for Vipassana meditation? Also, do you suggest practicing Tao and Zen?
-
So you think Tao is the closest thing to openness?
-
Is it kind of like Qi Gong?

Tai Chi vs Qi Gong? I am trying to find a practice that would incorporate my mind and body. What practice is more practical for a beginner? Thank you! -
That is great! What are some examples of the above listed? That is great! What are some examples of the above listed?

Thank you so much! Yea, I have seen those sweet little debates:) Well, I think my thing is trying to focus on something. I have focused on Tao, quite a bit. But trying to combine it with something. I suppose Zen? I want the body and the mind to work together. I feel Tao is more of a body and Zen is more of the mind?
-
Can I combine Tao and Zen together? Make it as one? Tai Chig, Qi Gong with Meditation? I know there is much more to Buddhism, like the 4 noble truths as well. However, just wondering if it could both be applied. That was really helpful! Thanks. I did not know Zen came from Tao. That somewhat makes sense.
-
Thank you! That was helpful.
-
Thank you both. I was thinking on focusing on Tao and Zen. Is there a way to combine both of these faiths/philosophies?
-
Thank you! I am doing just that. Do you suggest getting a teacher or joining a temple?
