No offense, but i do not go to yoga sites either... taichi, yes. yoga is sanskrit for joining... this is a chinese forum. If i wanted yoga, i could become a hindu

Well, good luck

Well, all this talk of heart orgasms... and the way all this looks is new age. and telling from you previous posts, it further makes that clearer. Not that there is anything wrong with that, it's just... well. to many bad authors.

Well, we now know to avoid your book...

definitely not legit... i got a PM advising me otherwise

your mind defines you, not what you do. good people do bad things, and bad people can also do good things.

What is the difference between Quanzhen and Zhengyi? EDIT: Also, are rituals taught that can be done by laypeople?

Winpro... since when does doing good acts mean a good mind, body and spirit? Surely all huge corporations make donations... does that mean they are good? maybe they want recognition and fame?

Does the course tell you how to set up an altar? what school of taoism is followed? Is it rooted in chinese religion? such as the immortals, etc. Do you learn praise mantras? Tai chi? There are a few

Tibetan buddhism's yoga, or trul khor, is left for those who have had wangkur into a deity of the highest yoga tantra class, and can keep the 14 root tantric samayas.

Awesome, thank you all so much I will be taking chinese in college, and maybe that will help me connect with other speakers, and finding a teacher

hi dude, om ah hung vajra guru etc. is not the mantra of vajrasattva, but padmasambhava/padmakara/Guru Rinpoche - and a general invocation. there ones for padma totreng tzal, and different forms, etc. just clearing this up. vajrasattva's is om vajrasattva hung , and there is a longer 100 syllable that shouldnt be done without empowerment or reading transmission. EDIT: CowTao beat me to it... plus, IMO, Taoism and vajrayana are not all that compatible, unless you are doing mahamudra or dzogchen... and even then, they may not be compatible. just my 2 cents.

Atchoo! Wakes up pup now, there is only some stuff covering the mind

Not at all. I had several great teachers, before i decided the path wasnt for me I never got past tantric preliminaries (ngondo)

briefly a worm... Bye... A bird swoops down, deep, that is the Tao.

How do I know this is even about religious Taoism? The info is very scarce..

I guess you never seriously got interested in any type of Buddhism at all... especially mahayana or tantric buddhism. Just google Guru Yoga Vajrayana, and you'll get a ton of info.

Hello all. My name is Sherab and i am.. was? a tibetan buddhist. Looking for more information on philosophical and religious taoism. Hopefully both is here. I'm slowly reading through the tao te ching.

thank you. where can i find the basics of philosophical and religious daoism? besides the ttc, and things. I need help with the religious side.
