  1. 1、The spirits of confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism are the same 2、The spirit of Dao is constant, will not change while the era changes. The right method has to follow the spirit, so the right method should be the same for ever. 3、Theoretically, the effects of Chinese treatment are the same between eastern and western. The only possible reason for any difference is the variation of the chinese medicine practitioners.
  2. I know, I know, it doesn't matter.
  3. I am trying to do that, but it is limited by my English level.
  4. Yes, Something like that.
  5. I don't think that is what a sage looks like, and you can not certify he is an immortal, right? Then why someone here said he is an immortal? Plus, a video can often be used to cheat, so it is not a strong proof. Practice doesn't mean you have to do the meditation; that is a misunderstanding for practice. How do you know that Neidan, as zhang ziyang writes about, must be accomplished through meditation, not without it? Yes, maybe someone can do NeiDan by meditation, but it must be under the instruction of a sage. Otherwise, it is useless or/and harmful.
  6. So, how can you tell John Chang is an immortal?
  7. How can you tell John Chang is a immortal?
  8. That is the difficult part for me. I have states the reason somewhere here. But I remember I pointed out a sage here. His name is zhangziyang. His words is also put here by me and given the translation.
  9. I can understand all the meditations which were talked here by you guys so far. So I don't think I didn't get the concepts of meditation. The judgement which I passed here is not from me, is from the sages. I think they had tons of practices.
  10. What is Taoism (Daoism)?

    I don't remember the King's story, but the two characters are the same meaning to me in this context. Both of them mean "constant".
  11. What is Taoism (Daoism)?

    You are very welcome. And I think they are same both in classic and modern chinese in such a context.
  12. Before I read these 100 books, I did some meditation. But while I read these books, I realize the so-called "meditation" is a wrong way for Dao. After that, I started to practise according to the books, and I was experiencing the real Dao. It is really fantastic.
  13. What is Taoism (Daoism)?

    Yes, I know that. In Chinese, 恆 and 常 are same here.
  14. What is Taoism (Daoism)?

    Yes, but we must say it, so we have to use the word "do". So, no matter what we are talking, it is fine if you understand what is behind the words.
  15. There are some good way which has no risk, you will never get unbalanced. Meditation is the most likely to make people unbalanced.
  16. I totally understand what you said here. But, it is not real Wu Wei. You can agree with me only after you have read hundreds of the books which were written by the sages.
  17. What is Taoism (Daoism)?

    You can do that only after you have lived in Dao.
  18. What kind of teacher can be the proper teacher for teaching meditation? The answer is only sages can be the teachers. So before you learn from a "teacher", you must make sure he or she is a sage. Do you know how to judge if a person is a sage or not? We could take a risk Only when we think the risk is worth to take on account of the potential benefit.
  19. If we have other options, why we take this risk?
  20. No, meditation is not the way to live a life.
  21. The idea is sedimentated after I read hundreds of books from libraries and bookstores. And most of them are not available on line. So showing the proof is not easy for me. But I would try.
  22. The thing is it is almost impossible to get the proper knowledge and guidance. So why we take the risk?
  23. Dao is everywhere, everything. So, theoretically, you can deal with every competition and being with Dao in the meantime.
  24. en,,, Dao is everywhere, everything. So, theoretically, you can deal with everything and being with Dao in the meantime.
