Yes, I agree. Only if the practice has done more good than harm without side effects. FYI There are many Taiji practitioners only turning the knees, instead of turning the whole leg with the foot simultaneously, they ended up traumatized their knees permanently and have to quit the practice for good.

The exercise at 2:35 is no longer recommended. It has been determined to be very harmful to the knees.

Was there a difference in the environment temperature between morning and evening?

He is a she.

有趣!

Yes, again!

FYI 道教 was derived from some of the philosophy from part of the Tao Ta Ching. However, they had ignored the majority philosophical part of the Tao Te Ching. 道家 are the scholars who study the philosophy as a whole of the TTC. They do not worship the deities of the Taoist religion.

道家 are those who study and follow the principles in the Tao Te Ching. 道教 is definitely referring to the Taoist religion.

Yes, it could be just interesting but it doesn't have to be funny.

Suffering permanently means something is very serious. All the minor stuffs don't count. Understand?

The OP is about a Buddhism complete path. So, it is.

Maar het is leuk! 不过很有趣！

Yes, Buddhism is a complete system for ending suffering permanently. A person has to be enlightened, in order, to become a Buddha.

你看过我花生酱罐上的标签了吗?

I only respond to a thread that if it is relevant to OP.

In Korean, it's called hapchang. Two hands together, like when bowing. In Chinese, it is 合掌 putting the palms together. The Buddhist called it 合十 is because the ten fingers are putting together.

It simply means: Know yourself know others. The arts of war used the phrase implying to know the enemy better to win a battle.

知己知彼

恭喜發財

Today is the first day of the year of the dragon! Happy new Lunar Year everyone!

You have become enlightened. I have the same experience as you have after studying the Tao Te Jing.

FYI In the first video. According to the Taij system, bending the knees beyond the front of the toes is not a good posture. It will damage the knee joints is because the excessive stress was putted on them.. There were many people who want to speed up the practice of Taiji without realizing this would be a problem. As result, they hurt their knees permanently.

BTW We have a five claw imperial dragon. The size is just right for our logo and it is very pleasent to the eyes. PS It is fine what we have now. It was nicely done. Good job!

The farmers and laborers, in those days, had the practice to develop their bodies for working all day. Without noticed, they had improved their breathing ability better than the scholars just by sitting and reading books all day long. In the human body requires lots of energy to do labors. In order to keep the generation of energy, the respiratory system will kick in to suck more air in a natural way. If one don't understand this oxygen theory, then one should study the cell respiration process to see how it works. Please don't just stick to one side of the story. Peace! Thousands years ago, they do not call it chi kung but tu na(吐納).

Today is 立春 the first day of spring in the lunar calendar. It was considered to be the beginning of the year of the Dragon. Even though, it is not the first day of the first month. 新春快樂 Happy Spring festival
