  1. The Art of War

    Within the scope of the art of war. A legitimate war is only fought for a good cause. Even though the war was won without a good cause, it was considered to be a lost. That is the philosophy of Suntze(孫子).
  2. The Art of War

    I would interpret that the art of war is do not go into battle unless it cannot be avoided. The entire book is suggesting if a war was fought, then, the goal is how to win or lost with minimal cost.
  3. How to Be Spontaneous

    Yes, exactly.
  4. What is this chi?

    As far as I know, mental problem will cause the body to be weaken. Unfortunately, even if you tried to correct it by practicing Qigong. Mental depression is hard to overcome but it can be faded away over time. Somehow, based on what you are telling me, I still couldn't figure out what is the cause of your mental illness. Can you describe what kind of mental illness that you have?
  5. What is this chi?

    Well, your ruined energy body for whatever reason will cause schizophrenia too. The energy in your body determines the physical and mental health of you. Definitely there is something that is causing your mental illness. Was there something happened to you before that you weren't aware of at all?
  6. What is this chi?

    This chi(stagnation) you are talking about is an imaginary term used by TCM practicianers as scapegoat if they have no explanation for the cause. The term "chi stagnation", in TCM, means malfunction of an organ or organs.
  7. What is this chi?

    No, it was the former due to the excessive masturbation but not the latter.
  8. Hello Im Dlux

    When in doubt, I would just stay away from it.

  12. How to Be Spontaneous

    Spontaneity is human action responsive or according to an event. Natural way is the act of nature.
  13. Location of the middle dantian

    IMO Yes, using different models is ok, but they should be universal and consistent.
  14. Location of the middle dantian

    Middle means at the middle. How can it be at the lower position? 上丹田(upper dantian) 中丹田(middle dantian) 下丹田(lower dantian)
  15. Buddhist meditations for extinguishing the self

    @Cobiefor you 是的,但这是有区别的。 唯物主义意味着死后意识和存在的遗忘,而唯心主义则意味着意识、存在和意识是坚不可摧和必不可少的。
  16. Yes, of course it can be done and hope for the expected result.
  17. Videos

    Video of TTC https://www.google.com/search?q=video+on+tao+te+ching&oq=&aqs=chrome.2.35i39i362l5j46i39i362j35i39i362l9.-1j0j7&client=ms-android-tmus-us-revc&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#
  18. Side effects

    It seems that you had overworked your mind. It may not be considered as a side effect. You need to give some room for your mind to rest.
  19. Filling the Dan Tien

    This de(德) is the definition given in the TTC. It is the virtue of let nature take its course(wu-wei). The other de is morality and is different from the de in the TTC.
  20. Filling the Dan Tien

    Let me make this clear. The dual cultivation of xing and ming is to have a pure mind and a perfect body. The intention was not mainly to be a virtuous person. However, it just came as part of the result of the dual cultivation.
  21. Filling the Dan Tien

    No problem, but knowledge does not retain in the mind?
  22. Filling the Dan Tien

    Okay! Perhaps you knew something more than me. There is nothing to be argued about that.
  23. Filling the Dan Tien

    To obtain knowledge is by learning from books or others. Things can be sorted out by meditation. All these can be done mentally.
  24. Filling the Dan Tien

    It was understood to become a virtuous person is by following high moral standards of conduct. No?
  25. Is Meditation Ming Gong also?

    Yes, ming gong deals with movement as in Qigong or Taiji. Xing is all done mentally.
