I did too, but apparently you need a build-a-ufo-manual to make sense of THAT...

I dunno, my lama in vajrayana was the abbot of a monastery and taught us some cham...

You get my props for humbly bowing out.. I'm sure there's more then one reason then the above, but hey. Whatever. Shall I roll the credits?

Nice improvisation with a jazz/pop band from a black metal dude... first 2 minutes is a sound check.

haha, that was cool but i doubt tibetan cham dances gave anything to do with martial arts in china.... But thats just me.

Pandittree is my new hero. Not only for giving some opposition (this forum seems to be all agreement and not wanting to hurt others in the quest of truth), but because he expresses how he feels. Which, whether right or wrong, in this area, seems admirable enough. Yes, he rants. Yes, i'm sure he's wrong on some points. But the fact is - I can feel a resounding sea of truth - not at Stigweard, but at myself. It let me look at myself, like a mirror. thanks Mr.PanditTree. PS. Any response to my PM? Trying to fins alternative taoist schools/systems in my area, or at least online. I'd like several to comapre.

Sup m0r, it's LS. Small world.

For some, it is the western adaption of eastern methods, yet for others, it is a belief that asians are superstitious, and have distorted the message of the TTC, and yet to others, it is a mix of new age, and letting you do whatever you want because everything is the flow of Tao. Just what I think.. It is hard to pinpoint, since theres no real institution or history of it here.

So what? I'm 19, and you shouldn't blindly believe anything you hear for the sake of "learning".

Shhh, this is entertaining. Pass the popcorn!

Hello. does anybody have information about the above group/teacher? is that teacher legit? thanks

Tummo is one of the six yogas of tibetan buddhism. to actually get it, find a kagyu master, start doing your 500,000 accumuklations (ngon do) get through completion stage (1 million or more mantras) then get to completion stage... and then, from there... maybe you will do tummo. Average amount of time to get to tummo: 6+ years. Books will not teach you tummo correctly, and the point isnt body heat anyways.

Why, you can be taoist and be enlightened... after all, enlightenment and immortality are the same thing. No more rebirth = immortal... which is what enlightenment is. Removing ignorance, balancing the energies, and removing misdeeds... so no more rebirth

Glad you agree... imo, there is nothing wrong with being a part of a group.

I love the erhu eprformance the best

i'd settle with one hug.

very good I will look at his books soemtime, but i'd rather do that through his course i'm getting some books ion taoism and learning chinese for christmas.. including a translation of the TTC, scholr-warrior, and a book on tai chi/meditation. If anyone wnats to see that last, you can ask, and i will post here

Absolutely not.

Hm, mybe one should be able to choose which culture they belong to themselves?

Holy shit... you must be joking. Picking the ebst toliet paper is relevant, eh? and so is knowing stuff about someone? you want to be psychic to do that? Please...

Great post above.

Yoda - the fact you are subtlely trying to sell me something/ get me to join puts me off anymore But I will read the books when I get around to it. EDIT: Mtybe you are just being playful and i am taking it wrong!

Hm, very good... I will bookmark that page for future use. Let's hope it''s around in a few years EDIT: I have heard that master ni mixes other religions with his view as well, Is this true, in your opinion? I want traditional chinese taoism, nothing more, nothing less.

Wow, stop reading new age fiction, bro...
