How about modern sages I got most of the stuff from the word of mouth but in the actual books, the whole thing get simplified so a person could start off by himself. For example, a person can start off by focusing on 7 chakras in one's body instead of each and every little thing. If nothing get on the way of this person, everything is fine. But sometimes a person has some special problems with their body that require outside help from someone who knows this stuff better. A person can also learn about their body by observing it, but that's kinda hard. If someone needs help, he asks for it and maybe someone who had the same problem will help out. That's when such a person goes to a forum like this, but it's not as good as having someone actually take a look at the problem up close and find the best solution.

That's the point, there are lots of books and masters who made stuff like that a common knowledge

best song I heard this whole year

I think this link would be useful as well http://www.nccaom.org/

I wonder how it will take until he closes off from everything

That's where the problem begins. The best teachers are the ones who are outside of expectations. Everyone seems to have an idea that a master is this nice old guy who just teaches for free because he is so nice. Then, when you actually meet him, he's like a devil .

Wu Wei all the Way

I can't make it any simpler DOES ANYONE HERE SPEAK CHINESE?

That's ok, almost no one can Here's a theory I have about why sages are so powerful without meditation and qi gong You know about Jing Chi and Yi, right? To do an action(jing), a person needs to intend it(yi), and for that to work, intention uses energy(chi). People meditate and exercise for hours to get enough chi to do whatever they want to do. That is very hard and annoying. If a person is a sage, he can merge his intention with the intention of the universe(shen). When a person is like that, the person is one with the Dao.

I get lonely when no one yells at me, too

When you are the laziest bum among a group of smart and talented people, you can learn from them If you're also smart and talented, then you're just wasting your time with them

I've been here just a few months and I already get worked up over this stuff with you guys, am I starting to feel a connection? Putting books and meditation aside, I'd say religious way is even better for reaching/feeling/getting it/understanding Dao

Yet I agree with Lao Tzu in these other "trolling" topics but you all ignore me and go after him How did you develop such a personal grudge so fast, guys?

You still see chaos? meh, welcome anyway

Let's keep it simple then. You think most of the masters out there are fake and do everything for money. So you want everyone to learn only from sages and warn about the fake masters, right? Let's try out your methods on me, if you can't get past me, you wont even be able to make it past anyone else Sounds fun?

This might be the first time I missed a post that is at least 300 words long, I might need new glasses But know what, doesn't matter. Back on topic, I wonder if you could find one of the previously discussed masters put you back in your place. You seem to be lacking in something, can't put my finger on it.

"For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who do not believe, no proof is possible."--Stuart Chase Any point can be proven true or false with words or be destroyed completely Dao can't be explained with words, the explaining begins when there are no words left As for masters, they are all wise by staying away from the forums

I know what actually happened OK, enough puns for today

I do, big scary and Korean

Now that made my day

Not all masters are supposed to know true Dao, but ALL students must

Well, that is uhm...
