    Nice Prudence Care, caution, and good judgment, as well as wisdom in looking ahead. With the awareness of how my thoughts, words, and actions will precipitate I can take appropriate actions in the now.

  8. Is KunLun Bogus?

    Obviously this debate is going to roll on. Nothing wrong with differing opinions, it can be a wonderful tonic. However, if personalities are expressed too strongly then the truth is buried and sullied by coarse emotions. I have posted Rules of a Fair Argument here: http://www.thetaobums.com/Insult-policy-reminder-t4237.html Perhaps our combatants would be advised to keep this in mind so that this forum is enriched by this discussion rather than repulsed by it. Peace

  10. Is KunLun Bogus?

    In healing there is the maxim: Right cure, for the right ailment, at the right time. For a certain person at a certain stage in their growth Kunlun may indeed be their Tao; their most beneficial course or way of progression. And if, and I am not saying it is, Kunlun is a delusional path, then I do not have the right to interfere with someone's destiny by trying to manipulate their path. Perhaps being deluded for awhile is for their highest good. Live and let them live Non-interference is Tao My journey remains

  18. Hi T, Please be assured I meant no disrespect. I was just implying that every style has something of benefit to offer. Warm regards
  19. Hi Thaddeus, It's great that you feel so strongly about the virtues of your style, everyone is due their own perspective. And I appreciate that many schools of taiji have been 'watered down' so to speak. What we have to remember is that there is virtue to be found in every person's path, and if we close our minds to the treasures around us we may miss out on the ultimate prize ... Tao. Just a thought...
