island replied to DalTheJigsaw123's topic in General Discussion
'the passage could be talking about the social actions, the practice, the philosophy, or the religion of said daoist.' Maybe it encompasses everything? -

'Scholars of the lowest class, when they have heard about it, laugh greatly at it. If it were not (thus) laughed at, it would not be fit to be the Dao.' - Tao Te Ching Chapter 41 -
What is the Taoist position on Moral retribution??? It appears paradoxical to me?

Every Warrior of the Light has felt afraid of going into battle.
Every Warrior of the Light has, at some time in the past, lied or betrayed someone.
Every Warrior of the Light has trodden a path that was not his.
Every Warrior of the Light has suffered for the most trivial of reasons. Every Warrior of the Light has, at least once, believed he was not a Warrior of the Light.
-
Every Warrior of the Light has failed in his spiritual duties.
Every Warrior of the Light has said 'yes' when he wanted to say 'no.'
Every Warrior of the Light has hurt someone he loved.

That is why he is a Warrior of the Light, because he has been through all this and yet has never lost hope of being better than he is.

'Those who wrongfully kill men are only putting their weapons into the hands of others who will in turn kill them.' Taoism. Treatise on Response and Retribution. So when is it morally just and right?

Spectrum - 'To see your true nature in each shot is the Great Way of Peace. This is all you need. Your grip should be like autum leaves blown in a storm. Manifest great deeds by breaking the rules. Masters do not rely on subterfuge.' Masters don't.

'Regarding myself, not even pretending that I am even close to sagehood, feel it is my right to defend myself. Any attack will be compensated for. This is consistent with Taoist Philosophy, IMO.' I concur!

Tao 99 - if i have exacted retribution will i be punished for my sin?
-
Yes, i'm referring to religious Toaism. 'In a bit Marbleheads gonna' mention 'wu wei'.' -lol
-
Taoist Gods exacted strict punishment for sinners and the Ten courts of the Underworld exacted retribution for human misdeed for the karmic guilt accumulated during his or her lifetime. This concern with moral retribution has shaped Taoism....So from a personal standpoint can one exact moral retribution? or is this solely the Domain of theTaoist Gods??

Hi Marblehead. I have been awarded the money by my University i am a student of religion and philosophy. It is to further my understanding of Taoist Alchemy, I am very fortunate to be in this position, my main concern is learning so much in such a short amount of time. Thanks for the reply Big Smiles
