  1. Jing and fertility

    Go find out more about Chi Kung(氣功). It will fine tune your jing for the body. Another words in modern terms, it will help you to generate more body cells and replenish the old cells in a faster rate. That is the way how to keep your body young by getting rid the old cells and replaced with the new. People look old and feel old is because the old and unhealthy body cells were not replaced quick enough. In the mean time, minimize your desire for trying to be young to reduce your stress for a peace of mind. It is very important to keep your mind in a calm state to be free of stress.
  2. A trivial truth is invincible. Isn't it?
  3. Colors of Dragons

    The black and white are the only two basic colors for Bagua. White is being Yang and Yin is being Yin. All the other colors used are not officially known as Bagua colors.
  4. Sneeze all the time?

    The breathing Chi Kung(氣功) style is not just ordinary breathing; that's why it takes practice.
  5. feeling lucky?

    It's funny that I don't have much good luck and not much bad luck neither. Somehow, the luck seems to be with me all the time. Every time when I got to a point where my financial status was at a low point, then a hidden lump sum of money just showed up somewhere to easy my situation. The hidden lump sum of money was accumulated and multiplied from something that I had earned in the past. It was neglected and untouched until the time that I really need it. I would consider this kind of luck is always with me which doesn't make me rich but helped me to get by.
  6. Colors of Dragons

    The picture of dragons shown in the OP are not the Chinese dragons. However, the Chinese are always refer the dragons are golden as noble because gold color seems to be a honorable color.
  7. The purpose of 自發功, spontaneous movements, is to let the body move by itself while the mind is at rest without thinking about anything. If one didn't try to stop thinking, then one is not doing the spontaneous movements chi kung properly.
  8. alright Jeff

    凡事隨緣 All events will be taken place when the time comes.
  9. [TTC Study] Chapter 80 of the Tao Teh Ching

    The message was delivered with the indication that one is to maintain a peace of mind by living a simple life without competing with the world. A Taoist have elected to follow this principle by secluding in an isolated mountain was for this purpose. People who think this is boring because they were exposed and too much attached to the modern way of life.
  10. Sneeze all the time?

    I just sneezed because my nose was itchy. It was a natural nervous response, I don't think one need to learn how to do it. Breathing feels good and gives longevity, thus Taoists learn to breathe by practice Chi Kung(氣功) all the time.
  11. It Is Not Dao

    No, that wouldn't work is because the outer space is within Tao.
  12. It is obvious that the Mystic Tablet did not match the Post-Heaven Version of the Ba Gua. Don't you think...???
  13. Sorry, trigrams are read from top to bottom. Trigrams are read inside out from the center of the Bua Gua(八卦). However, hexagrams are read from bottom to top.
  14. Tao no-thing or nothing?

    One needs to have a full understanding of Chapter One of the Tao Te Ching in order to know what is the duality for the existence of Tao. There are two states of manifestation for Tao. Tao is either visible(有, you) or invisible(無, wu). These two states are considered to be the duality because they are complementary to each other. However, by definition, in terms of no-thing or nothing cannot be considered as duality because they are not complementary to each other.
  15. They are there, one is the upside down of the other. If the two middle trigrams at the left and right were flipped 180 degrees and exchanged positions, then it would be corrected. If the Zhen(震, thunder) at the lower left corner was flipped 180 degrees and become Gen3(艮, mountain), then it would be fine. PS.... This is still not correct yet. Please wait for correction. PPS.... Now, it has been corrected.
  16. It seems to me that the two trigrams in the middle of the left and right hand sides are reversed.
  17. Does Anyone Have Power?

    That is exactly what is happening but that is exactly what you don't want your heart to have more beats than it should. You want your heart to beat slower and stronger to circulate the oxygenated blood. So, your heart won't be overworked from beating faster. The ideal way for the heart to beat slower is by having more oxygen in the blood. So, the heart knows not to speed up to provide more oxygen to the body cells. The only way to provide more oxygen in the blood is by breathing more air into the lungs. Is that what you want to have many more heartbeats to overwork the heart....???
  18. Does Anyone Have Power?

    "Slow breath almost to a stop" is not the proper way to practice meditation. The proper way is to breathe slow and deep to the lower dan tian but you should never stop breathing. Thus you will see some physical changes in your body in few months. However, please don't expect to have some special power to heal someone yet.
  19. The Spirit of a Martial Art

    Quan Yu was classified as a Lord of Martial Art and also a scholar and a gentleman. Please note that his attire, the sleeve at the right hand side indicates that he is a martial artist and the left indicates that he is scholar. He does not kill someone ruthlessly. He only kill those who are evil. That is why people worship him and place his statue in the living room by the door to keep the evil spirits away.
  20. The Spirit of a Martial Art

    Here is a better video quality. This fight was not legal in Hong Kong. Therefore, it has to be arranged to fight in Macau. The fight starts at 4:4o
  21. The Spirit of a Martial Art

    Yeah! All of them were tried to rule the world by brutal force but didn't last too long. It was because they didn't know the philosophy behind the Art of War.
  22. The Spirit of a Martial Art

    I'm sorry to hear that. I don't think that the intention for learning martial arts is to kill was a good initiative. One with such fatal ability must refine one's character to have mental discipline not to abuse the given art. Thus let's have the Virtue of the Martial Arts to decide who to be killed only by the act of self defense.
  23. The Spirit of a Martial Art

    The spirit of Martial Arts is not to kill but to refine one's character.
  24. It Is Not Dao

    Tao speaks of its principles.
