Hope he/she will recover. And in that case, will become part of your family living nearby you. They know and recognise those that help them. No need to clean shit as he/she will do that outside the house.

I have written about how I was thrown about and learned humility in meeting the ground from different angles from two of my Masters who were almost skin and bones and appeared hardly able to walk about. In 1990s, hardly any videos other than heavy weight video cameras were around. And even if I had, would hardly had taken videos of what I thought were normal occurrences , at least to me , after the initial phase of dis beliefs. After all, I met my Masters on almost every mornings and 2 sundays on of the month (other sundays were devoted to mountain climbings) All the stuff on weight transfer and muscle forces , waist power etc etc were driven out of me. Not that that will ever stop folks whose fixations will be that everything and all can and must be explained from the angle of Western sciences or even pseudo western sciences. I have seen a couple of videos where such tossing about reminded me of my times with those Masters. Let us bear in mind that while many stuff seen can be duplicated via cheating and playactings, and one can easily pooh poohed what is video tape as hogwash and fakes, true events occured. Such as talks of John Chang having some electric shock machine hidden on his body to give electric shocks. There was yet another Master at the Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall training at the South Entrance that I had the chance of hands on even if I did not continued on with him. He was a big fat bloated Chinese man. His students who touched him were repelled away and I was in disbelief. He was nice enough to hand on with me and in the next moment, I felt a shock running through my body with me bouncing away. To be told by full time dedicated debunkers who know not where their mouth end and arsehole start that those events were done by hoax can be hilarious. They can believe in whatever that they want to believe in. The first video is of Lee Chu Gong of ChengJia taijichuan. His lineage is from Chen Fah Ker. Through Hong Jung Seng, CFK student. Do try to convince yourself that his fajing was nothing but sinking of body weight. Failing that, what you have seen must be a huge attempt to hoax gullible westerners of mysterious powers. I was thrown away by my Masters more dramatically than that in video as they knew of my judo background and ability to break falls and that I did not feel degraded by being tossed about. The next video is of an elderly gentleman in Bagua Chang. Do try to convince yourself that it was all mechanics of sinking of weight and bending of waist and alignment of feet and joints. Failing that it was all another hoax that clever Westerners will never fall for. Fajing is not a property of taijichuan. That Master Liu of that HsingKongYuan was not a taiji man even if he kept brushing aside what jia he was. I believed he was of the liu her bah fah 六 合 八 法 . He with my other Masters told me whatever jia or pai would not matter once one can ting jing and more important, dong jing. That was in 2009. Since I was writing on totally different kind of crowd (birdie/beastie folks) with my son making cameo appearances . I did not mentioned about it then. But it came into my mind when I was writing above. With my son in Budapest and Amsterdam // Setting the foundations for Riamfada's future My son was in Budapest taking part in an IM chess tournament after a lay off of many years. I took time off my Oman assignment to fly there to give him moral support. That winter was one of the coldest winter in Europe. Walking about Budapest left you frozen and after a couple of times, we did just hung about the hotel. My son had a black 1 dan in Aikido. I laid off my taijichuan since Tinkerbell came into my life and I could not find that 90 mins just to tick over and I thought I forgot it all. I had not seen him for a few years prior to Budapest and I was curious of his Aikido and talked of martial arts. We got to the corridor outside the room for a bit more space. On first hands on together, I was surprised at how stiff I perceived of him, his body and arm. As he moved in on me, I felt his intentions telegraphed to me. I thought aikido was soft and therefore aikido players should not be stiff like wood. I went into a li. It felt natural for me to fah jing into my li notwithstanding I laid off even ticking over taijichuan for 9 years. In the Li, his arm came and in that split second, I knew his body did not. To my horror, I pulled my son's arm out of his shoulder socket Needless to say, it all came to a stop. After that initial shock, I pop back the joint and to my relief, no lasting damage. He consoled me that happened before to him. Even so, I felt so quilty of what I had done. Idiotic Taoist who can be very stupid

I am about to finish chapter 11 of 鹿鼎記 . I enjoyed myself very much to this point. It is estimated 1,230 k chinese characters are in this book subdivided into 50 chapters. Or that I have read 200k of chinese characters in a form so much better that rote learning. This saga will be coming to a temporary hiatus soon. I have planned to travel to Spain for 2 months or so prior to South America and Belize to check if yuan feng will make my retirement place somewhere there. I need to see if I can get a bit into Spainish language firs. So I am thinking of reading Don Quixote in Spanish the way I done so in Chinese. Prior to that I really must update my Livejournal as to that episode in Nepal. Also as a memorial to many of the Nepali friends who seemed to have disappeared. And to show case my photos of Khatmandu and places which do not exist anymore. And also that chapter of life in Riyadh , Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Al that must be done before I leave for Spain likely early Feb this year. In the meanwhile, I had mentioned of Or get Chinese sex stories if you inclined to those. Even be a class above by reading Ching Ping Mei 金瓶梅 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jin_Ping_Mei May your joy for lust propel you deeper into the Chinese world. 金瓶梅 Jin Ping Mei From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jin Ping Mei (Chinese: 金瓶梅; pinyin: Jīn Píng Méi) — translated into English as The Plum in the Golden Vase or The Golden Lotus — is a Chinese naturalistic novel composed in vernacular Chinese during the lateMing Dynasty (1368–1644). The anonymous author took the pseudonym Lanling Xiaoxiao Sheng (蘭陵笑笑生), "The Scoffing Scholar of Lanling,"[1] and his identity is otherwise unknown (the only clue being that he hailed from Lanling in present-day Shandong).[2] The novel circulated in manuscript as early as 1596, and may have undergone revision up to its first printed version in 1610. The most widely read version, edited and published with commentaries by Zhang Zhupo in 1695, unfortunately accepted the deletion and rewriting of many passages.[3] The graphically explicit depiction of sexuality garnered the novel a notoriety in China akin to Fanny Hill and Lolita in English literature, but critics such as the translator David Tod Roy see a firm society structure which exacts retribution for the sexual libertinism of the central characters.[4] Jin Ping Mei takes its name from the three central female characters — Pan Jinlian (潘金蓮, whose given name means "Golden Lotus"); Li Ping'er (李瓶兒, given name literally means, "Little Vase"), a concubine of Ximen Qing; and Pang Chunmei (龐春梅, "Spring plum blossoms"), a young maid who rose to power within the family.[2] Chinese critics see each of the three Chinese characters in its title as symbolizing an aspect of human nature, such as mei (梅), plum blossoms, is metaphoric for sexuality. Princeton University Press, in describing the Roy translation, calls the novel "a landmark in the development of the narrative art form – not only from a specifically Chinese perspective but in a world-historical context...noted for its surprisingly modern technique" and "with the possible exception of The Tale of Genji (c. 1010) and Don Quixote (1605, 1615), there is no earlier work of prose fiction of equal sophistication in world literature."[5] Plot Chapter 4 illustration of Jing Ping Mei. Jin Ping Mei is framed as a spin-off from Water Margin. The beginning chapter is based on an episode in which "Tiger Slayer" Wu Song avenges the murder of his older brother by brutally killing his brother's former wife and murderer, Pan Jinlian. The story, ostensibly set during the years 1111–27 (during the Northern Song Dynasty), centers on Ximen Qing (西門慶), a corrupt social climber and lustful merchant who is wealthy enough to marry six wives and concubines. After secretly murdering Pan Jinlian's husband, Ximen Qing takes her as one of his wives. The story follows the domestic sexual struggles of the women within his household as they clamor for prestige and influence amidst the gradual decline of the Ximen clan. In Water Margin, Ximen Qing was brutally killed in broad daylight by Wu Song; in Jin Ping Mei, Ximen Qing in the end dies from an overdose of aphrodisiacs administered by Jinlian in order to keep him aroused. The intervening sections, however, differ in almost every way from Water Margin.[6] In the course of the novel, Ximen has 19 sexual partners, including his 6 wives and mistresses. There are 72 detailed sexual episodes.[7] Ximen and Golden Lotus, illustration from 17th-century Chinese edition For centuries identified as pornographic and officially banned most of the time, the book has nevertheless been read surreptitiously by many of the educated class. The early Qing dynasty critic Zhang Zhupo remarked that those who regard Jin Ping Mei as pornographic "read only the pornographic passages."[8] The influential author Lu Xun, writing in the 1920s, called it "the most famous of the novels of manners" of the Ming dynasty, and reported the opinion of the Ming dynasty critic, Yuan Hongdao, that it was "a classic second only to Shui Hu Zhuan." He added that the novel is "in effect a condemnation of the whole ruling class."[9] The American scholar and literary critic Andrew H. Plaks ranks Jin Ping Mei as one of the "Four Masterworks of the Ming Novel" along with Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Water Margin, and Journey to the West, which collectively constitute a technical breakthrough and reflect new cultural values and intellectual concerns.[10] The story contains a surprising number of descriptions of sexual objects and coital techniques that would be considered fetish today, as well as a large amount of bawdy jokes and oblique but still titillating sexual euphemisms. Some critics have argued that the highly sexual descriptions are essential, and have exerted what has been termed a "liberating" influence on other Chinese novels that deal with sexuality, most notably the Dream of the Red Chamber. David Roy, the novel's most recent translator, sees an "uncompromising moral vision," which he associates with the philosophy of Xunzi, who held that human nature is evil and can be redeemed only through moral transformation.[8] Since is is very unlikely that anyone reading this note will start on that book in Chinese, I thought I still try my bit to make the horses drink after I brought and dragged them to the water trough. Here is a very good movie of that in youtube. Never mind the english translation of the title which is useless as most English translation of Chinese. You see the movie title in Chinese is 金瓶梅 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8cUNwKQiD4 You will get the chinese characters as subtitles with no English to distract you. You see the different beauties and the glory of a chinese whore house in all splendour of Song Dynasty. Do try to focus on the chinese characters and not be too distracted by our hero as he frolic about with his hands and other things and seducing to the right and fornicating to the left with girls and nuns. As much as you enjoy the movie, do remember the written book always will be much more powerful than any movies attempted of books. What the book can paint into your mind will be even more than what the movie will print into your eyeballs. Idiotic Taoist about to say adios to this saga into Chinese language

In the photo, Prince Phillip was holding a Vanuato traditional pig killing club called nal-nal given to him by the villages. Prince was very gracious to those villagers and their beliefs by sending that photo of himself to them. And also in meeting 5 of them in 2007 even if off camera and record when they came to UK. Above son of village chief wearing traditional penis gourd I visited Vanuatu in 2003 1993 (sorry for the wrong decade ). I was impressed with the amount of rhino horns and aphrodisiacs sold in Taiwan and China. Having read that the kava kava roots had a side effect of giving wet dreams, I thought I should save rhinos and make myself rich by importing kava kava. And the best kava kava was in Tanna. Which I tried of course. Then Viagra came and blew my plans out of water. And drop by in that village of Yaohnanen that decided Phillip is God. Come to think of it, their God is a lot healthier and lot less bloodthirsty then Christian GOD or Allah or Jehovah. Phillip at least send his photo. You known of the other 3 doing the same to their followers? Idiotic Taoist

"If it doesn't fart or eat hay, she isn't interested." Of his daughter, Princess Anne. "Dontopedalogy is the science of opening your mouth and putting your foot in it, a science which I have practiced for a good many years." Address to the General Dental Council, quoted in Time in 1960. "Can you tell the difference between them?" On being told by President Obama that he'd had breakfast with the leaders of the UK, China and Russia. "That's a nice tie... Do you have any knickers in that material?" Discussing the tartan designed for the Papal visit with then-Scottish Tory leader Annabel Goldie last year. "If it has four legs and it is not a chair, if it has got two wings and it flies but is not an aeroplane and if it swims and it is not a submarine, the Cantonese will eat it." Said to a World Wildlife Fund meeting in 1986.

They told me they declined to join in. Saying donkeys never listen to horses anyway whether from the mouth or the other end. They also said they feared Putin and some Russian oligarchy mafia might get angry with them sending shamanic vibs to destroy their WA. After all , didnt we first see a Russian with pointy elbow claiming mantle of Wang Chong Yang and that he is Grandmaster Generalissimo of Quanzhen School. Too soon after that, his pals in Russia (or maybe pointy elbow himself) decided mantle of WCY underlings such as Ma Yu (馬鈺) and 遇仙派 is also the sole property of Russian and that private road to promised land will be given on suitable donations to charity of their choice Besides, they say since all this is destined to go to the Primordial Chaos between Heaven and Earth eventually , sooner or later, they rather do their thing and advise me to continue to pop my Tiger and munch on my chips and to end my unwarranted tripping and stepping on toes here. Idiotic Taoist content to drink when thirsty and eat when hungry

I am still picking up my jaw from the table after I seen them twirling those vortices from their vortices. They knew exactly what they were doing, even if they doing it out of pure fun and pleasure.

A much more worthy pursuit in analyzing and hunting down ghost and their immortality. At least some conclusions can be reached , and other arguments demolished. Where the right cannot be proven right and neither the wrongs be proven wrong. Much better topic then of asking what is the size shape and taste of the Tao or the De. Idiotic Taoist inclined to dust off Ouija board and ask the spirits around to log into daobums and let them hear straight from the horses mouths.

This also lead to much enlightenment Idiotic Taoist practising goose stepping

Is that writer of that book such an authority? That you can dedicate the rest of your life in believing the bad of others not around anymore? Guess that author decided the best person in the world is himself hor? Idiot not trusting God and less of all, not trusting any single writer as One Who Must Be Believed In

Wrong! It is when they stop talking that war will come. Idiotic Taoist preferring jaw jaw to war war

I like to think that chi and the mind (heart mind) morph from one to the other that cannot be actively (in the Western sense) controlled. That in the end, they are all the one and the same thing. Only our terms and our minds want to make them different. Idiot on the Path

Another fascinating result of the Chinese science is the rolling barrage used in more sophisticated sticks and stones. Nope ! That did not start in WW1 in Verdun or Ypres or thereabouts. The first recorded rolling barrage was in the Mongol invasion of Europe under Subotei who was the Mongol Generalissimo/Field Marshal in 1241. With less than 100,000 Mongols and allied Chinese specialists, the armies of Europe such as the Teutonic Knights and whatever other knights were wiped out. Subotei planned coordinated attacks on united front over 1000 km wide. making wide use of SunZi Pingfa in addition to his innate ability. At the battle of Mohi, European knights and crossbowmen were introduced to the delights of Chinese gunpowder and bombs in rolling barrages that left them no place to hide other than in Hell. Luckily for Europe, the son of Genghis Khan , Ogodei, died back in Mongolia. The entire Mongolian armies under other Mongol Princes were ordered to go back to Mongolia by Subotei to elect the next Great Khan. Or else folks here will be writing Chinese or Mongolian script instead of English. Idiotic Taoist all for science of the sticks and stones

Not certain where that came from. Might be The Tao that was left unwritten until you brought that up in daobums. But then as you all know I am the Idiotic Taoist so what am I to know of lofty writings be they written or unwritten

I will be very sad on the day when cries are heard "The Queen is dead. Long live the King" Hope that will be in the far distant future

Plagiarised from Harry Potter // Rustaq // 1st overland into Lhasa Which is why I thought these photos taken when I was in Laos might interest her. Then I thought again I should blog it for everyone as well in case you do like owls as well Surely, you do not think that Harry Potter is the only one that play with owls do you? I spoke for a while to the owl to calm her. I knew she was not going to hurt me. Then I got her to stp up and then she got on my shoulder. That Laos trip was covered during my writing of Tinkerbell Legacy starting in here http://shanlung.livejournal.com/2005/02/ Even more photos of Laos trip in here http://www.flickr.com/photos/shanlung/sets/72157594170336188/ Here is another of me with my friend's fids. I spoke to them and I knew they were not going to hurt me aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa You noticed no heavy gloves for me either when handling the owl. I know that is de rigueur in handling raptors and no falconers be seen dead without their leather gloves. But I am no falconer. Just an untypical Idiot. That being with falcons was a prime reason why I accepted that offer into Riyadh. But that 66-72 hours work week put paid to any thoughts of having a falcon. If you aint got the time, you just cannot have a birdie or beastie. And if I could not have a falcon, then what the fuck was I doing in Riyadh? Making money for my wife future boyfriends or toyboys? http://thedaobums.com/topic/37958-can-the-tao-be-found-in-a-66-hours-work-week/ Birdies do know their strength , and exactly what they can do with their claws and jaws. And once they know you as friend, they never will want you to be hurt. Idiotic Taoist who will be drunk when a birdie is thirsty and eaten when a birdie is hungry

Somehow, God seems to be rather pathetic in that the omnipotent God had to depend on hands of humans to write of him and about him. In which might end as they writing of what they thought of him instead. If such Entity existed, do they need to depend on hands of humans to describe them? Or will his Presence be made known to us in ways inequivocal beyond doubt? Such as in the heart of supernovas or in the essence of maths? We know of a photo, even taken with best of Hasselblad and printed on finest of paper, or even film, is finite. When that photo can be enlarged, to what degree can that be done? Magnified to 10 times will be a piece of cake. I have seen the reflections of the camera and taker in the eyeball of the subject. Magnified to 100 times, you bump against the grain of the material. Magnified to 1000 times, you no longer have the image to magnify. That image you wanted to explore into gone long time ago. Magnified to 1,000,000 times, you be magnifying the atoms of the material Magnified to 1,000,000,000, you be seeing the quarks and sub atomic particles . Here is a video of what is known by Mandelbrot set, of what I called the Fat Lady. You will see the iconic Fat Lady appearing again and again. Not sure if she will sing at the very end as that end never approached. Maybe when we all got Quantum laptops and network all together might we see and hear her sing. No matter how deep you magnify it, you see even deeper the details unfolding themselves beyond comprehension, at least to me. Do not even try to explain fractals to me as you have to explain God to me and as you know, I am a Taoist and kind of beyond God. Just sit back and watch this video. Perhaps God, or the Tao might unveil herself to you here Idiotic Taoist even more idiotic than before
