Don't you think we can debug them here....???

Chapter 67 - The Three Treasures 1. I have three treasures. 2. I'll hold on to and well keep it. 3. The first is mercy. 4. The second is cultivation. 5. The third is not dare to dwell before the people. 6. Mercy will able one to be bold. 7. Cultivation will able one to be broaden. 8. If one is not dare to dwell before the people, then one is able to lead all things. 9. Now, one who disregard mercy to replace with boldness, 10. And disregard cultivation to replace with broadness, 12. One who disregard to stay behind instead striving to lead in the front, 12. Therefore, one is going toward demise indeed! 13. If one uses mercy in a war, then one will win. 14. If one uses defensive strategy, then one will be stable. 15. Whoever Heaven is willing to help, 16. It will protect them with mercy. Does this translation tell you a story or some kind......??? Ask me questions, I think I can justify them.

takaaki.... I must praise you that you are a gentleman and a scholar. I love your line of questioning; you are impartial, precise, and straight to the point. Love to have you aboard... Since my opposing view has been contaminated this thread and being not very respectful to the key person of this thread, may I suggest to have you to start a new thread to continue with our discussion about the legitimacy of Mao Shan Taoist Cult. Thank you....!!!

I think the proper term is focus(意守) instead of forcing. When you focus on your dan tian, your chi(breath) will go straight down to it as you inhale.

Correction: Mao Shan was considered to be illegitimate(not illegal) by all, centuries ago, even before the PRC.

"Question: are taoists in control of they're lives or it's just natural way of being an order of chaos manifested in way of the way?" The answer is the latter part of your question........

The basic principles for Chi Kung are simply cultivating in breathing, mind and body. Breathing is the primary cultivating factor; and the rest like the slow movements and the mind cultivation done spontaneously are secondary. The combination of all these three factors are considered as an integral part of the Chi Kung practice. Anything else mentioned are just cosmetics. Please keep in mind as the basic fundamental, breathing is a must for Chi Kung practice. Indeed, without performing breathing, then it was considered not to be Chi Kung. It is because Chi Kung is to ultimate method of breathing. In the video, you're kept on hearing gathering chi into your body; in other words, you are actually breathing air(空氣) or oxygen(氧氣) into your body.

Wudang(武當) was considered to be 正派(legitimate cult). Mao Shan(茅山) shaman was considered to be 邪教(illegitimate cult) as the CCP classified Falun Gong as an illegitimate cult.

Some TTB members were jumping the gun in learning "sexual energy"; the first they do were starting to masturbate and have internal pain problems. Yes, how much can one tell them before it was too late.

We all are not Buddhas but it was asked to be treated like one. It is only a matter of respect as the intention of the title.

Sorry, I should have said: As a beginner, one should start with something simple for easy understanding and disregard all other expert's advanced advices for now. BTW I had edited my original comment to this:

Please do what the title says....

Yes, there is a difference between oxygenated and polluted air in the environmental atmosphere. The purest fresh air always keep the mind clear.

"Spend time in the natural environment, do mountain hikes, meditate near old trees or waterfalls." That is where a place has abundance of oxygen.

All humans are born normal. As they age they lose their healthy qualities by their bad habits. However, those problems can be corrected. In the later days, if they want to correct their health problems, they have to find means to do it. It can be either using medicines or practice Chinese ancient healing method such as Chi Kung, the ultimate breathing method.

As a beginner, use common sense, one should start with something simple for easy understanding and disregard all other expert's opinions from being getting confused.

When one breathes normally and deeply, what will be taken place inside the body will be taken place. It just happens spontaneously. There is no special skill was needed for the movement of the diaphragm but the ultimate breathing technique. As a beginner, one should start with something simple for easy understanding and disregard all other expert's opinions and get confused.

I think they are blocked by the Chinese government.

Here is a good place to start in breathing for Chu Kung

Yes, it says: 觀世音(Guan Yin), the Goddess of mercy, in the front.

斯明磊: 光明磊落......... This is good enough for good start. At least, you know how to breathe.....

Yes, you got the right idea.

I thought that was enough said already.

Let's discuss anything regarding to the terms or phrases in classic Chinese, here, in this thread. All questions are welcome.
