1. It was only an inspirational philosophical statement. 2. In a practical sense, yes, my practical man....

My original translation for this line was: 6. One who is diligent has volition. Will this work.....???

為無為， 則無不治。 With an attitude of Wu Wei, Then, there is nothing that cannot be handled.

After all, it is a Buddhist cult. What could be bad about it...???

Chapter 33 1. One who knows others is intelligent. 2. One who knows oneself is brilliant. 3. One who exceeds others has strength. 4. One who is self contained is strong. 5.

I don't see these three characters could be cognate, at least not through my life experience. PS... I don't see any significant truth in your reference.

Thanks. I'll do. 1. 善建者不拔 1. One who can establish a good foundation will be indestructible.

Yes, actually I am disputing with all these three characters. I do admit I was confused with the phonetics "Wu" just by itself and the pictogram of the ancient characters. 巫(wu1): Shamans 無(wu2): None 舞(wu3): Dance

The problem using phonetics for the Chinese characters is really fanatic. It's better use the Pinyin system to distinguish the characters. It is still not perfect but it's close to the pronunciation. If we just say "wu" without looking at the actual character, we cannot determine what the actual character is. Perhaps, if the character is within a phrase, then it may be determined from the context. Otherwise, we have to assume what we think what it might be. If we're looking at "wu", it can be both characters as shown below. 無(wu2): None 舞(wu3): Dance

1. 功(gong): The meaning of the character by itself implies "cultivation" already. If one says "gong cultivation", it was really saying "cultivation cultivation". What I am trying to say was that there is no such term as "gong cultivation". 2. I hear lots of compliments about the practice of Falun Dafa. Many people with different illnesses had been cured by this practice. May I hear from you what kind of adversities that may have on people....???

One tried to practice a method to improve his health. However, one does not have a full understanding of the method and proceed with the practice but ended up with a reverse effect. This reverse condition was known as "play with fire to invoke the devil". Have you heard of this before or have any idea about it...??? Have you thought about that before you go into any method that people claimed is OK to practice on your own...???

Chapter 52 1. The beginning of the world was considered to be the root of all things. 2. If we've discovered its root, then we'll recognized all things. 3. If we recognized all things and held on to its root, 4. Then, there will be no danger throughout life. 5. .....

Chapter 54 Cultivation 1. One who's good in building a foundation cannot be pulled it out. 2. One who's good in embracing it will not loose it. 3. The offspring performs memorial service to honor the ancestors will not cease. 4. Cultivated it to oneself, his virtue is real. 5. Cultivated it to a family, his virtue is excess. 6. Cultivated it to a hometown, his virtue is forever. 7. Cultivated it to a country, his virtue is abundant. 8. Cultivated it to the world, his virtue is common. 9. Therefore, 10. Using myself to observe others; 11. Using my family to observe other families; 12. Using my hometown to observe other towns; 13. Using my country to observe other countries; 14. Using my territory to observe other territories; 15. How do I know what is going on around me...??? 16. From all these...!!! Note: Lines 4 through 16 were referred to the foundation in lines 1 through 3. Chapter 54 1. 善建者不拔 2. 善抱者不脫。 3. 子孫以祭祀不輟。 4. 修之於身其德乃真。 5. 修之於家其德乃餘。 6. 修之於鄉其德乃長。 7. 修之於邦其德乃豐。 8. 修之於天下其德乃普。 9. 故 10.以身觀身， 11.以家觀家， 12.以鄉觀鄉， 13.以邦觀邦， 14.以天下觀天下。 15.吾何以知天下然哉﹖ 16.以此。

Hi, folks May I clarify something here...!!! "Dafa cultivation is absolutely Gong cultivation, not Chi cultivation." Any practice involving with breathing is called Chi Kung. Actually, Chi kung or gong is Chi cultivation. Falun Dafa is a form of Chi Kung. From the name itself, we can see it has a Buddhist flavor. The reason the CCP government is against them was not because of their religion. The main reason was that this group is getting too big and it has a great assembly power. The CCP was afraid that they might overthrow the government. I don't need to say the rest.

LaoTze always talks about Wu Wei in few chapters of the Tao Te Ching. What is Wu Wei mean....??? What is your best understand about Wu Wei...??? Thanks...!!!

1. If you are talking about people's thinking, yes, they are confused as hell just like the rest of the world. However, in the actual practice of each individual religion, it is NOT true. There is a big distinction between them. 2. You welcome.

自發功(zi fa gong) Let me tell you what 自發(zi fa) is. It means "automatic" from the inner self without control. After you begin your movements, you're just moving around all over the place restlessly in motion with the eyes closed.

Why not....!!!

It can be done if you are willing to keep track of it like I do. Of course, you cannot do it from the internet because they were contaminated beyond recognition. It is hard to unlearn something that was in one's mind already.....

1. It is OK only if you knew the difference between the two philosophies at the beginning before combining them together. Of course, this is only my impartial opinion. 2. I know you got it online. Unfortunately, any errors found cannot be corrected and it is very misleading and confusing.

Informer... LaoTze's idea was always giving us the notion that he was more concern with the negative attributes than the positive. If we stay within his definition, it will narrow it down to just the NEGATIVE attributes.

I believe that your question was "what caused the violent action?" Is compassionate action a violent action...???

It's OK.... I just want to keep the record straight. So it won't be misleading.

The intent has to be initiated from the mind of an individual for whatever reason. e.g. Let's say that I don't like the line of your questioning. The reason that I am telling you this was intended to offend you. Regardless, you were offended or not, it was the intention that caused me for not being Wu Wei.
