This is awesome. If you follow the outside of the wall there is an old walk way and stairs. You pass threw a very old heavenly gate with trees growing out of it, you will pass a cement eight trigram work out spot this is where legend has Cheng three peaks creating Tai Chi Chuan up a bit more and you are at the cave. A monk lives in the cave year round. Behind purple heave in the complex there is parents hall on the right side of the building there is a door in the wall if it is open it is a short cut to the path of the cave. Our schools are totally related we are official kung fu brothers, very cool. Nice you found my school thanks for the picture.

At nanyan palace is a tea shop. The tea ceremony is worth the time 30 - 40 minutes. You get to taste the different teas of Wudang and can buy some to bring home. Cheng San Fengs cave is behind purple heaven off the beaten track but someone from your school could go with you to show the way. Thunder god cave is cool you may have already found that. Golden top is awesome I suggest taking the stairs and if you run out of time to get back down there is the cable car opposite side of the valley with buses at the bottom to get you back to dragon gate. Love to hear about your adventure, injuries and soreness is a thing let your teachers know about any injury the have amazing skills herbs and remedies.

Rara This is so exciting. I am in Montreal Canada back to the mountain in the fall. I would love to hear about your adventures. Have you been up on the mountain? My school is located down the steps on the other side of the road of Purple heaven Palace. Very excited for you wish I could meet up with you. Long live Wudang Kung Fu!

The emptiness and stillness of all things, Including the heart of this topic the problem is after birth mind- will most take this as their master. only before birth mind- will can penetrate the mystery it has no form, no birth and no death. Only emptiness and stillness combined can open the gate.

The way to eternity discusses this topic as well an excellent work. Here are a few things that may be interesting. Nowadays, most people spare no effort in advocating democracy, yet few people know they are just inwardly the victims under the dictatorship of their yin pre-heaven mind-wills, like a puppet. Your pre-heaven nature is taken captive by your worldly heart while your life force at the mercy of your physical form. All you senses come from yin pre-heaven mind-wills, which occasion your life force to be encumbered with your physical form. On account the heavy encumbrances by your physical form there come the death and birth for your life; on account of slavery in which your pre-heaven nature is taken by your worldly heart there come the comings and goings of pre-heaven nature. Hence you know your physical form and your heart are places in which your life force and pre-heaven nature take residence, respectively. letting your heart follow the example of the heaven you will become emptier and emptier, and letting your physical form follow the example of the earth you will fall deeper and deeper in the depths of stillness. So long have you remained in this state that something divine will arise, which comes from the Mysterious Pass---the very center of the heaven and the earth and in which the Great Unification takes residence. The eight kinds of yin pre-heaven mind-will will dominate over you from your cradle to your grave. As a result, your yang pre-heaven mind-will, coming from infinite emptiness and holding the birth and death of all things at its mercy, will become obscure and be buried in oblivion from time to time. The yang pre-heaven mind-will, in general, hardly presents its existence in man's daily life except when people are having sexual intercourse and climaxing---people will get excited mostly because yang pre-heaven mind-will is stirring.

In the zone my self was forgotten only doing what needs to be done. The one doing all this stuff was no where to be found.

If there is after enlightenment then one is weak, complacent and a quitter satisfied with superficial accomplishments. If one thinks they are enlightened then they have made a major error, a miscalculation sending one off into the wrong direction.. There is a sky above the sky meaning the work is never done, no beginning, no end, existent, non existent, with form, without form all at this moment and forever.

I have great passion for this thread silent thunder by trade I am a chef and own a natural organic food market and restaurant. this is a plate of mine that could be considered food porn.

This may not be a picture like kar3n's chicken orgy or nungali's oyster or was that shangri la not sure but here is some sexy food IMO

It is all good we have an exercise where we are blind folded holding the energetic ball in front of us and close our hands when someone passes their hand between the ball. Loads of martial applications turning the ball over as well. I love physical applications of esoteric training personally.

Great topic. This is literally the Tai chi ball

Happy birthday Chang San Feng. I am happy to see his birth date now become world Tai Chi Day. Master Jou Tsung Hwa began this celebration in the USA 30 or more years ago as the Chang San Feng festival inviting many masters to the Tai Chi Farm in upstate NY. This has now become World Tai Chi day. Happy Tai Chi Day to all.

Heaven and earth are Inhumane: they use the ten thousand things like straw dogs. And the sage too is Inhumane: he uses the hundred-fold people like straw dogs. This suggests that any standard of "humanity" or "humane treatment" is a human-created idea that is not reflected in the natural unfolding of Way. The passage could be interpreted as saying: don't attempt to apply a notion of morality or humanity to the world, because the world has its own logic that is not driven by moral standards. Moral intervention might bring unanticipated negative consequences. Hence the "sage," too, is "inhumane." If a human commits crimes against humanity being put to death was their own choosing. Getting in the way for moral beliefs will encourage others bad behavior and continue the mental disease further into the future. I had jury duty for the vampire murders in Fl. many years ago I stated just kill him now and I was not picked for court.

I practise shadow boxing after one defeats the shadow the shadow will take you as their master and be obedient.. The darkness is in love with the light and is not separate. This shadow will follow you everywhere and always be apart of you. If one is light the shadow will borrow the light just as the moon does from the sun. When we realize that the shadow is not a dark and negative thing at all the mind will be pacified and we can do more useful thing with our time.

Watch the healing field on amazon prime. The aspect of the discussion is fully covered by quantum physicist,doctors and healers. Stem cell scientist know the environment shapes the cells and observation or distant healing also effects the cell development. The show also discusses DNA and brain connections can be turned on or off at will. The healing field I highly recommend anyone that practices energy arts to watch this show. Great topic, like Einstein, quantum science and the Taoist say the un-manifest is primal of all creation not the other way around. Unfortunately western science in the beginning thought that the physical forms were the key. Modern science like epi genetics and Quantum physics paint a whole new reality just as the ancient sages describe. The magic is not gone. Bad programming like allopathic medicine, Darwin and newton views are about to be replaced.

I would not worry about reincarnation if one chooses to do immortality training, life and death solving methods. Also no need to worry about enlightenment. If interested in enlightenment or reincarnation a buddhist based practice would be a better suit to wear. If interested in immortality training one must have a teacher that has verified the methods and one must have the destiny, the bones of an immortal. This practice is not for everyone and words are not helpful. Endless words are a sign of non attainment and lead to confusion. wizard points the way

Please do not talk about pie,I beg you. I know it is way fun when you know someone's weakness and mess with them BUT ...really!

Lone men pie I guess imitation is flattering for my lineage Longman Pie that has been authenticated since antiquity. At first I thought the abbreviation of theirs was LIMP so I had a good laugh. Can not comment about LIMP I know nothing of it. Had fun reading some post on here keep up the good work

That is funny. I was being sarcastic. Thank you for the LOL

love this! What may be more important for us not in the game is that we have a job and pay taxes. actually I know it is important because there are laws to make sure that the government gets our money when we make money and spend money. Now that is a great system and I am glad people believe in the system and make a difference.

Political conversations are like conversations about sports. When a person is not an athlete they could still work in the sports industry. Anyone can be a politician that has been proven by the current US president.There are no requirements in politics to make the team or not. People love to be spectators because they have no responsibility. If someone does not vote there is nothing wrong with that. if voting could change the system the system would be changed. If someone votes there is nothing wrong with that they believe they make a difference and we get to keep the system because it appears to be working.

The heart (xin) is the symbolic center of the human being. It is the residence of spirit (shen) and corresponds to the Northern Dipper in heaven. But just like Unity takes multiple forms in the cosmos, so does the center of the human being reappear in multiple locations. The most important ones are the three ☞ Cinnabar Fields (dantian, immaterial loci in the regions of the brain, the heart, and the abdomen) and the five viscera (wuzang, namely liver, heart, spleen, lungs, and kidneys). The three Cinnabar Fields and the five viscera respectively represent the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the cosmos within the human an individual's body is also the body of the world. The world inside one's body, the world on earth, and the world of the heavenly realms are all interconnected. What happens in one affects the others, and one can effect change in one by acting in another. Thus the purpose of existence, for everyone, is to improve oneself — physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually — for the benefit of all. There are correlations or correspondences between every level of existence. This includes all life forms and life without forms,shapes, color, gender, species or any scientific classification. The scientific classification can be the problem it is a form of racism and superiority that has nothing to do with our true selves.

Mortals have a lot of mental and physical diseases not to mention the disrespect for their own environment and relationships with each other. It is funny at first then it wares off real quick. I would suggest a quick visit and then go back home.
