Group Re Translation of Taoist Yoga by C. Luk
Procurator replied to mwight's topic in General Discussion
can you keep it for your parents and your kids, and for yourself? yeah madam rabinovitz. u must be either into necro- ot kopro-, then. well whatever works. -
Hi Mal, sure thing. That is what i am here for. But i will be honest with you: if there is no overall plan - that is a strong will and knowledge to change-tips are not going to work. You come across as an exceedingly nice guy, which is assumed to be a good thing. But..life is a zero-sum game. And..in this particular aspect of life {the art of the bedchamber} the nice guys finish first . So...if you serious get this book, it is priceless http://www.amazon.com/Art-Bedchamber-Class...n/dp/0791408868]http://www.amazon.com/Art-Bedchamber-Class...n/dp/0791408868 a quote: "in engaging the enemy the man should regard her as so much tiles or stones and himself as gold or jade". Not so nice eh? if after reading you feel like following the precepts we can talk more.

she is sorry she cant give me cancer. she must be dead then. Ding Dong! The Witch is dead. Which old Witch? The Wicked Witch! Ding Dong! The Wicked Witch is dead. Wake up - sleepy head, rub your eyes, get out of bed. Wake up, the Wicked Witch is dead. She's gone where the goblins go, Below - below - below. Yo-ho, let's open up and sing and ring the bells out. Ding Dong' the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low. Let them know The Wicked Witch is dead! -
and one is quite sure what exactly are those core teachings are, eh?

i concur. interestingly almost every science that deals with intangibles is a pseudo-science.

sure. and christ had a saying for ppl who pick and choose - ..many are called, but few are chosen.Matthew 22:14

(shrug) sure. and daosim has a metaphor for such indivuduals - "straw dogs".
-
as you said above - on a superficial level, in a superficial way it is quite pointless. But if you wanna delve deeper - Kirkland was using the term "religion" to conway the meaning of "practice".

your glaring mistake here is that you think that taoism is a "movement or religion". It is not.

on account of you being old and ugly please stay away from my cock-lea. -
a general remark. yeah no translation. it makes salient the point that folks calling themselves "taoist" are not even familiar with the language of their purported avocation. that is great congratulations. what have you learnd exactly so far from him?

we need no stinking translation. lets just make up stuff as we go. works wonders. -
You are welcome Pietro. If you think that this 10 y.o article is old probably you will dissmis these 500 y.o words as quite outdated. I guess you will dismiss the one who utter them too. 人人惑于妖妄邪淫 个个不知仙道正门 yet both these words and the article cant be more relevant: just go to the "favorite quotes" section and take a look. you chosed to ignore the relevancy - well that is your prerogative.

....No aspect of the fantasy Taoism created by immature, self-centered Western minds has any basis in the facts of Taoism in China.... (Russell Kirkland, University of Georgia) http://kirkland.myweb.uga.edu/rk/pdf/pubs/pres/TENN97.pdf so let me get this straight -u dont understand it - u dont know chinese - u dont care about the original -but you gonna rewrite it. then you gonna bounce it of folks who -dont understand it - dont know chinese -dont know what the original is yeah, that will work. -

i am speachless, i am without speach. Man, i know that the fact of you not knowing any kind of chinese language will not deter you. But do you even know what was the original text that Luk translated? -

hmm a guy whose last name is kennedy denigrates chinese translation by a lady whose last name is wong...hmm perhaps you should leave this to sturdier minds then , no? -
yes - go look at your average working stiff, at a homeless on the street, at a geezer in a nursing home - and ask yourself: what did them in and how i not end up like them?
-
the important question is - how is it working out for you so far?
