This is the highest realm of understanding in Taoism.

Gladly, I have done that once before but not many paid much attention to it. jia(家): home; -ist This character used by it self means "home" . If it was compound with other characters may mean something else. For example, 1. 我家: my home 2. 我家人: my family 3. 科學家: scientist 4. 音樂家: musician 5. 心理學家: psychiatrist 6. 道家(Daojia): those scholars who study the philosophies of Lao Tze and Zhuang Tze. Note: A 道家(Daojia) is not necessarily believe in the Taoist religions. jiao(教) ; to teach; a suffix was used at the end of a religious sect. Examples: 1. 教書(teach books): to teach as a teacher in school. 2. 基督教: Christianity 3. 佛教: Buddhism 4. 道教(Daojiao) is definitely an indication of the Taoist religion. Taoism may not be used here for the Taoist religion, as in Buddhism, because there is an distinction between 道教(Daojiao) and Taojia(道家). It seems more effort is needed.

1. Do they ever make corrections from the mistakes and misconceptions.....??? 2. That would be stated differently in a native tongue.

Okay, convince me that you understand the usage of the above terms....!!! Anyone will do...!!!

Yes, this thread started with real simple words but expecting a real complicated answer.

These notions are from a westerner listening to a westerner. How about a westerner listens to an easterner within one's own heritage/culture for a change....??? Westerners have no idea what and how the terms jia(家) and jiao(教) were used in the native language linguistically.

hmmmm..... hmmm....Things are getting complicated. By definition tsu(子時) is 11:00 pm to 12:59 am. In the ancient time, that was where the day breaks. Another words, the next day start at tsu. In regards to "I practice the swallowing saliva technique", it makes no difference when do you swallow your saliva. We swallow saliva all day long. The organs may have a biological effect around the time clock but the saliva is constantly flowing to keep the mouth moist. Thus it makes no different when do we swallow it. Please remember, the ancient Taoists were not scientifically oriented, but everything has to have a reason. Hence, their explanations for the reasons can be myths with no logic proof. What I will do is to correlate their hypothesis with modern science and go through a process of deductive reasoning to make some sense out of it. PS.... Isn't the true midnight is at 12:00 am......???

The resting heart rate of 60 to 80 beats per minute is considered to be the natural state. Any rate outside the range may be hazardous to the health of a person.

hmmmm..... Daojia(道家) is automatically put one in a "philosophical" category; and DaoJiao(道教) puts one in a "religious" category.

hmmmm..... There are twelve time units in the Chinese time clock. Each time unit is equal to two hours. The first time unit begins with tsu(11:00 pm to 1:00 am).

tsu(子時): 11:00 pm to 1:00 am Midnight is universal, thus it is 12:00 am which is halfway through.

Please discuss your Feng Shui knowledge here. Thank you for your cooperation.

TzuJanLi. = 自然力 = Natural power.....???

This is no warm up. He has been doing this for 86 years.

If you follow the movements and go through the breathing process, the body will take care itself internally. Any other criteria are embellish.

Ziran = Tzujan = 自然 The only difference is the Pinyin or phonetic system was used. The modern official phonetic system is Pinyin. Thus Ziran is the closest to the phonetic for 自然. 自然: natural; spontaneous; Nature follows its course; it happens the way it suppose should be. All these definitions apply to the philosophy of Wu Wei(無為).

A healer may not help at this point in time but one can help oneself by self cultivation and self discipline. Quit the self pleasure habit and return to the state of homeostasis by finding means to improve the present health condition.

The key to this interview, I would pay close attention to the saying about breathing at 6:00. Other than that, I wish his sitting position was more presentable.

Yes, abdominal breathing. Any form of Chi Kung will do. Tai Ji is more efficient than the Eight Brocade. I prefer Tai Ji because it is more dynamic in body movements and breathing, However, the only thing that is you need determination and patience for the kind of practice. I have a simple method developed on my own which helped me a lot. If you are interested, please PM me. Good luck.

If you can't stop the habit, then just do it every other three days. In the mean time, you need to practice Chi Kung by doing slow and deep breathing; and get lots of rest whenever you can. Your symptoms are not the chi that was stuck in your head but it was not enough oxygen delivered to the head by poor blood circulation. Especially, it is very critical right after your masturbation because it may cause you to be short of breath. Poor breathing will also cause your body to a condition of hypoxia(lack of oxygen). All the body energy were rushed to the reproductive system which may lower the blood circulation to deliver oxygen to your brain. Lack of oxygen to the brain will give you a headache.

To best of my knowledge, I don't think Buddhism practice was dated back thousands and thousands of years ago. I had been traveled to the western part of China by the silk road at one time and Tibet at another time. In the western region, I had seen the early historical sights of Buddhism has much greater influence than Central China. The reasons for that was when the high Indian monks travel to Central China, they had to go across the Himalaya Mountain first . The first place they had reached was Tibet. Hence, Tibet had their strong religious belief influenced by Buddhism. Furthermore, some ruins along the path of the silk road also had shown a strong influence of Buddhism. Zen or Chan was only practiced by high Buddhist monks in the temples. It was considered to be a high level of cultivation in the Buddhism religion. PS.... The Indian Buddhism influence was indicated by the facial features of the Buddha figure. In the western region, the facial feature of the figures are Hindus. As one travels more toward Central China, the facial feature are more Chinese like the Empress of the Tang Dynasty.

Similarly, Buddhism was originated from India but it is not their national religion. It was China that spread Buddhism around the world. Now, so is shaolin Kung Fu.

We have to start looking at the finger to see where it is pointing. Points are meant to be connected for clarity, literally speaking.

No, it was something that you were trying to stop. The former was the cause and the latter is the solution to cure.

I respectfully to remind you that the definitions do tell significant messages. Why should we focus our attention elsewhere to distract ourselves from the relevancy of the main subject....???
