  1. Does Taoism use "direct pointing"

    Of course. That is why you can not find such methods somewhere in public "Dojos" (open for everyone) and "training centres" (where you just "pay and train"). Even if this is "closed group" teachers will hide secrets. Normally they give out only sets of exercises saying that this is nei kung (internal work). This can be the case but they dont provide proper explanations of how to do it. Far not all people who teach it really understand what they teach. They may have some achievements but how profound they are is big question. Regarding to this topic what exactly is "direct pointing"? Pointing to what?
  2. 2024 - Year of the Green Dragon

    What were his plans? Don't forget to mention what plans global "elite" had against eastern regions and their plans got cancelled as the result of Stalin' counter measures
  3. Does Taoism use "direct pointing"

    It is not only about saying words but it is the matter of achievements. I think you heard about daoist immortals. Of course there could be achievements among buddhists in Tibet (rainbow body achievements) but not in China. So here I talked about withered Chan because Zen (Chan) was mentioned here
  4. Does Taoism use "direct pointing"

    Daoists could see the energy and what happens with one's energy if one does incorrect methods and where it leads.
  5. Does Taoism use "direct pointing"

    That's good and why you think daoists criticized buddhist methods in their scriptures even in scriptures which are dated from 9-10th centuries? (need to check dates again)
  6. Does Taoism use "direct pointing"

    Have you ever read daoist scriptures? Being here for 15 years
  7. Does Taoism use "direct pointing"

    which intent? you are in daoist discussion. you have posted so many posts and not even read what people have written here for 10+ years. do research first, i cant do it for you
  8. Does Taoism use "direct pointing"

    Even if I find such a document you will say that this is wrong document
  9. Does Taoism use "direct pointing"

    Find daoist teacher and ask him. This is only the solution
  10. Does Taoism use "direct pointing"

    Major methods never transmitted in paper and documents. Big part of teaching is oral and energy transmission
  11. Does Taoism use "direct pointing"

    I say what daoist teachers say. How can it be proven? Also you can try to do what scholars suggest you. After 20 years you will see how it works (or not). What I can see - old people with no energy teach other people how to....
  12. Does Taoism use "direct pointing"

    In this case you have to go to Buddhist forums and read what scholars write to you
  13. Does Taoism use "direct pointing"

    There is another article about withering contemplation, withered Chan. These days people are trying to achieve Dhyana with these corrupted methods. Also we know nothing about old Buddhism teaching and what exactly Buddha practiced. I saw another articles in this regard but not all of them are in English
  14. Does Taoism use "direct pointing"

    Well it comes from daoist lineages (not even one). You can read more here: https://www.all-dao.com/difference-qigong-alchemy.html
  15. Does Taoism use "direct pointing"

    The buddhist teaching was corrupted. The old Chan is the same as old school Dao teaching. But later all that was corrupted
  16. Does Taoism use "direct pointing"

    If you have energy you can get Dhyana state, but no energy no Dhyana.
  17. Does Taoism use "direct pointing"

    He is good for profane people but bad for senсere people who are looking the authentic IMA with goal of "enlightenment"
  18. Does Taoism use "direct pointing"

    The WRONG was I wasted my pre heaven qi for that and my time and money. The older you are the less abilities you have to attain Dhyana for you waste your inborn qi level
  19. Does Taoism use "direct pointing"

    I used to train with such a "teacher" in Dojo for 3 years who said "just let it go" (and dont forget to pay me money). I was stupid and young and I paid... But at least it was good calisthenics system (Aikido + fake tai chi + sitting)
  20. Does Taoism use "direct pointing"

    Well, what is Zen? Zen is Japanese name for So I guess you do some Japanese exercises. And you have not got enough energy for achieving the state of Dhyana?
  21. Does Taoism use "direct pointing"

    Have you ever read the Dao De Jing? What Dao, De and Jing mean?
  22. Does Taoism use "direct pointing"

    One day I stumbled upon a young women who did tree stance in the yard near by a house and she was not doing it right way for she was standing with crooked spine. So I waited a little and asked her what exactly she was doing. She said this is famous tree stance from a renowned Chinese "daoist master". I said that the posture she was doing it was incorrect and the "master" is not really follower of the Daoist teaching and he is just a qigong teacher who pursues his own goals and at the final stage this is actually a shamanic method and so on. She replied that's OK as she has her own goals and she does it for the her career promotion and that this is not my business what she is doing. I walked away saying no more words... So first of all one need to define goals. Second issue is how qigong appeared and what and how much it can help
  23. Does Taoism use "direct pointing"

    How do you think what is the purpose of the Dao teaching? And how much qigong and calisthenics can help it?
  24. Does Taoism use "direct pointing"

    Not all qigong systems are good. 99 % of them are just sort of calisthenics. The best option is to find lineage and to follow their preparation steps prior to more advanced daoist methods
  25. Does Taoism use "direct pointing"

    Well, all methods are secret from the beginning, some initial methods are less secret but transmission "from heart to heart" is more for advanced students. It is mostly for the seniors. Not many westerners received it. Chinese teachers dont wish to give it out outside of China
