( No trading, No killing! ) This mother was chased off a cliff with a group of dogs, the mother plundged to her death and her horn was later removed - the calf then took a day to find its mother!!! it is slaughtered its tiny, insignificant horn because of too many morons believe that it's natural Male Enhancement?!!!...shame! The sea lions(Zalophus japonicus) were virtually extinct which lived in Dock-do(small island of Korea) in 1945 because Japanese slaughtered about hundred thousand...to get its genitals.... Shocking news! The powder capsule made in China very secretly is selling and also some are imported to Korea....it's the powder of frozen dried 'dead infant body' Ok, disgusting but happened in China, Japan and Korea, how about other countries? --.-- ;; longing for Longevity??? craving for youth??? just human's ugly greed.........

They don't want to know....... only whisper 'leave for finding him' the rope of destiny wound round my ankel.

My father often said that he had sensitive sense in his palms which was like 'magnet'...recently I got to understand it a bit....but vague... any advices, knowledge and opinions welcome! also any practices you know helpful for 'vitality', '養氣' Thanks, Noelle.

Ahhh, I see...thanks Votex : )would you tell me more abt your experiences? @Desert Eagle, ^.^ I understand what the person in clip doing but I do not know Chinese, would you explain what it says? @fulllotus, then you also can feel 'qi' or kind of sense of magnet?

black color foods are known as good ones for kidney...black berry, black bean, black sesame, red bean and dried hair from corn for tea(helps excretion of urine )... black bean is also well known food for detoxifying....red bean soup is easy to make and tastes also good! most of all, there is simple way for healthy kidney : drink couple of cups of fresh water 1 or 2 hrs before your eating every morning. water should not be too cold and not take iit in hurry.

You're welcome. "Chon-bu-kyung" is regarded as the oldest scriptures of ancient Korea. The mordern China territory reaches to the far north - east area but ancient Chinese wanted to divide theselves with the people lived in Northern section of ancient Chaina. This thrinity system affected China inland(ancient China below the great wall) as well later... but China culture seem to be more under the the binary system than thrinity.. The three-legged bird also changed to two-legged bird in China... One interesting stroy, Korea culture is still more affected under this thrinity sytem much more than binary... so I had got the question from the company colleague in Hongkong why Korea companies prefered to issue commercial invoice 3, 6, 9 moths and he couldn't understand its reason. : )

This trinity system is different with counting system of Zhouyi (易經), the binary system. The oldest records of this thrinity system is "Chon-Bu-Kyung" inscribed on the rock founded in Myo-Hyang mountain. this trinity system and culture was originated from the cultural belt who lived far north east asia people(northern territory upper the great wall) who had totemism of bear, three leg birds三足烏 , three Gods三神, heaven, earth, man. and.... "Spirit" ....can't say simply in words.... : )

What is this, moves yourself at this moment? -.-;;

aridus, I love your posting....

It's Chuseok, Korean full moon thanksgiving day. Wish the full happiness.....

靑山兮要我以無語(청산혜요아이무어) - 청산은 나를 보고 말없이 살라하고 蒼空兮要我以無垢( 창공혜요아이무구) - 창공은 나를 보고 티없이 살라하네 聊無愛而無惜兮(요무애이무석혜) - 사랑도 벗어 놓고 미움도 벗어놓고 如水如風而終我 (여수여풍이종아) - 물같이 바람같이 살다가 가라 하네 "The mountain says to me to live without talk. The sky says to me to live without spots. Taking off craving and taking off lamenting They ask me to live and leave Like the stream and like the wind." -Vernerable Na-ong (1320~1376)

心生故種種法生 마음이 일어날때는 갖가지 법이 생겨나더니 心滅故龕墳不二 마음이 사라지니 무덤과 움집이 둘이 아니네. 三界唯心萬法唯識 삼계가 오직 마음이요, 만법은 오직 의식뿐, 心外無法胡用別求 마음 밖에 법이 없거늘 어찌 따로이 구하리오. Wonhyo (617~686, Korean great monk)

so many theme of ideas and thoughts are coming in and out.....they are not just staying in my mind..... they shakes my whole body and rules my whole being even my soul.... But it can not be always beautiful, virtous, ethical, or altruistic.....or we do not need to be, perhaps. However, carefully look at them and ask to myself...what does moves my heart and mind now? That is telling who you are at the moment.... Love, how are you doing love? that's showing what your life is like now.....

a powerful and heavy energy....you feel it? ....indeed awesome!!!!! : )

Tody this poem is moving my heart : ) "Walking about in this pine wood, I find an accommodating rock on which to nap. ...In the mountains, there aren't any calendars; and though I know summer's heat has past, I haven't a clue to the year." Lunar calendar says fall is here. Where did summer go? (from friend's note)

We call it 'SortDae' wooden birds on the pole...very old Korean traidtional belife...it symbolizes connecting people, earthly world and the heavenly world. I wish I could fly like a bird...how wonderful it would be~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's famous phrase and can often hear in Korea, also I've been told so many times from my parents. Recently I was told very interesting words from my colleague at work who studies I ching for very long time. .....(not for sure if I understand and translate his words in correct but any way...) He said "I can see your clearness or determined attitude reading your birth chart, can compare to "white Gold 金" ......white Gold is beautiful Gold and metal...metal can be a knife...knife is very useful tool but also can be dangerous as well...so sometimes should be sharp but also should be blunt in case.... Now my understanding is that it is not just talking the companies or relation with people around you, it connotes and explains the way of how you understand, percept the world around you, people, things, cases....all the things passing by you and happening around you. and following question, Then each of us can change ourselves and find the status of 中 (mean, medium) by controlling our nature and inclination from borne all the time and is it that important virtue? Or is it really means a lot to each or to the whole looking it wide? Well, now I believe that it's impossible and no neccessary in looking it as the whole. Each of us is like a very small particle has own identity consisting of the whole picture of the world and universe running under the rule of Yin-medium-yang and so many variations between them. "Yourself is a small universe" and hello marblehead : ) I'm happy to see u here again, maybe I can't visit this forums as often as before but kept reading ur posting and others....

Once again I'd like to say that ; We normally say what is Yang and Yin but it is not the right concept understanding Yang, Yin. It is one theory explains how to understand the priniple of world, emphasizing "harmonizing the all components" We often indicates the dominant Qi in the object and at a certain moment. What are you going to call "Yang" or "Yin" seeing the green tree with full of energy in summer? Yang? But it is full of "water" inside. How about the tree in fall or winter? "Yin"? But it cut the circulation of water inside and easy to burn. talking "Yin" Yang", both have "alterability" and "relativity" There is Yin with Yang and Yang with Yin, existing not in separate or the polarties in conflict. I put more weight on "Flexibility" of "Yang and Yin" means in a certain case, the thing with Yang can be Yin, Yin can be Yang, also homonizing between Yang and Yang, Yin and Yin, we can see many cases of those in nature. I mean we need to broaden the current concept of "Yang" "Yin"

"Do you think there is much difference between the two approaches? How about in terms of creating a healing space? The idea of aligning one's own will with the "heavenly will" May I do not much know about Qigong, practicing as much as you do. But I would like to say some my idea. "NO Two" (As I know this is greatest buddhism spiritual awakening) If you are practicing by the way of "self-generating the qualities" and it's successful, then you are already the one emanate it to the environmental space around You. So "self-generating the qualities" is becoming the mutual emanation at the same time. We often can see the people who living in extreme poor enviroment in the trashes...but they also smile, laugh and love as the same with the people living in good places. It means no matter how much positive energy is in the place where you are, if you don't accept it , it will be useless. Also no matter how much you practice all the qualities, if you are not emanating them to outside, it will be useless as well. Emanating should be kind of "Practicing" them in real life to the people around you. Because the enlightened teachers empasize; Knowledge, knowing can not be the "Wisdom" if there is no conducting what you know in real life. (Knowledge can be the one dead, but the widsom is the one alive) Therefore, "mutual resonance" done by practicing them for people means making "Self" alive. we should have the eyes and open heart and attitude can look around and care and most of all should not be trapped into you by yourself. That was why the great monk, (Korea, 617~686) turned away his heading to the people from his way of travle for solitary practicing and study after awakening. We are all lifetime practioners. Practioner should not be isolated. That's all what I understand "You and I" till now, and my opinion for your idea.
