Morning Dew, dew it, dew it,dew it! You can pick any Chi Gung set and the write us the list of benefits. With Tai Chi and Chi Gung you will not need acupuncture treatments. Chi Gung is the ammunition, Tai Chi is advanced chi gung and also the weapon to apply the power,timing, distance and angles. Have fun and dew it.

“Knowing is not enough, we must apply. Willing is not enough, we must do.” Bruce Lee Knowing is doing and doing is knowing Tai Chi Classics. If we believe we can do 900 kicks a day it has no real application, a fairy tale. If we do 900 kicks a day We know we do it and do not pretend to believe it is possible. It seems belief with out proper application is a fairy tale. when people disagree about fairy tales they split into groups then the groups split into more groups keeping the fairy tale alive but never real..

Non-striving is commonly misunderstood as motionlessness, stagnation, or complete inactivity. Nothing could be more misleading. "It is the Tao of Heaven to benefit and not to injure, it is the Tao (or way) of the sage to do and not to strive." What Lao-tzu implied was not to run around tearing our hair out over being and doing. Simply be and do. Be spontaneous, act as one's own master, be in command of one's self. By running around with over concern we waste energy and slow our progress. The spontaneous way of being, working with the natural flow of energy, is called Wu Wei. It is at once working in harmony with nature and working in harmony with our true selves. Wu Wei results in virtue:

I read yi as intention or mind, Wu as in no, jing as vitality jen as humanity.But I have poor english chinese conversions. English tends to only mean one thing negating the other half of the whole. Once I mentioned keeping the mind still and someone remarked that the mind is never still so I added to still being calm, tranquil, peaceful, nothing on the mind then explaining when mind attaches it is like having something in your eye that needs to be flushed out before one can become comfortable. Thanks for the dictionary Zhong.

That is cool, I no nothing of kundalini besides the general sameness of Nei Gung. Vitality makes the body, chi animates the body and spirit commands chi. When spirit does not direct chi ego does, when chi is of poor quality the body suffers.

The native Indian beliefs are that gay people were called twin spirits and we special among the tribes for having both sexes but I read that on the internet. My wife says the whole issue of the boy scouts is stupid. She was a girl scout and I was in the cub scouts before getting kicked out and not for eating a brownie but for fighting. One day my troupe was playing king of the hill and a neighbor kid started tossing all my friends off the hill so I stepped up and threw him off which resulted in a physical altercation in which the neighbor kid went crying home. I was kicked out for this. I had a certain fame with this bully. the guys and girls would come to me to put the bully back in his place. He would listen to me or we would fight so he would remember to listen next time. I say we toss the adults into the easy bake oven and let them deal with their more "mature" issues,

Jing is vitality, life force that allows us to reproduce our action as well as bring in a new life form. Many get on the wrong path considering jing to be sexual. Literally in a sentence jing can mean seman but in the classics it refers to the true non physical energy of vitality a combo of our parents pre natal and post natal food, drink and life style. Maybe look into intent for will.

Why live a Virtuous life? Why not. Actually Taoist are impatient and choose to grow into heaven wile alive instead of waiting for transformation at death. One must be virtuous and be in harmony with the Tao to achieve this skill. The Buddhist conception of suffering is not a skill but lack of skill.

I met Alfred Huang and he signed my book complete I ching. He has a good perspective about reading symbols before all could read. I found his incites interesting.

Seriously you had to bring this up. Do you know how many boy scouts got kicked out for eating brownies. Lets just overlook this subject for now. I was in the cub scouts and I liked it, I did not know the difference of boys and girls to me we were all the same. I was not old enough to know or care what sex was.Now older at the temple I am surrounded by center people we all dress the same and besides some facial hair it is difficult to tell gender and not necessary. I call my dress a robe and it is very comfortable. The identification process of gender is started at a very young age in many cultures by adults that know what the act of sex is and the rigid demands,function in society depending on if you have a penise or boobs. The inequality and role playing is reinforced by the current social standards of the culture The rebellion is this forced identity placed on young people. We can all play with the same toys,truck, doll, gun,easy bake oven. Confusion is confused when things are out of balance It is not the kids that are confused it is the culture that is confused. Maybe the kids can break out of this forced control and expectation of a person's physiology and embrace the real function of joining yin and yang in any physical form.

My left hand and my right hand are always at odds, conflicted. The left hand is like why are you always called right and my right hand tells the left hand to stop being so lazy. Then my left hand will be on the defensive and say let me hold the fork while we eat so you do not keep giving me the fork to pick up the knife just to put the knife down and take back the fork, stop being so stupid right hand. At that moment both hands were like who is this us, our and we? If there is an us,our or we that would mean conflict united would be in harmony. That is when my feet said to my hands to move in one direction one foot moves back and the other foot moves forward. forces moving in opposite directions is conflict so without conflict we would not be able to walk. Now my hands and feet are contemplating this one uniting force that creates harmony out of conflict. My teacher said wipe right and wrong from your mind. If one person says the pie is sweet and the other that the pie is sour they are both right. So I stopped making sweet pie or sour pie now I just make pie, the tastiest most incredible pie ever.The funny thing is that some people do not like pie. The moral of this long post is please do not take a break from TDB people. How boring it would be to all have the same perspective. Being always right is not an issue for me sometimes I am like a nascar driver left turn, left turn, left turn and other times it is all about right turn on red. When we unite all the forces into a single force we become powerful.when there is pressure on the left side the left side empties and the right side becomes full or when one part of the body moves all parts move when one is still all parts are still. If one does not agree with all this nonsense it is perfectly OK for them to be wrong, no biggie, keep calm and post on!

Look forward to your post. Welcome to TDB. I have no idea what TDB is but I can get you some. It is very cool you are teaching Daoyin.

Yea living in the heart, that's why I like CT post about giving that is right from the heart. People that are internally wealthy have a lot to give and those who are spiritually bankrupt seem to only take.. It seems everyone knows where they came from because the answer is mostly I do not know. So we come from the unknown and return to the unknown but did we actually go anywhere.

Allen Watts on the TV that is awesome. That which animates body is not me. I was never my bones that turn to dust.I travel in the homeland of nothing what so ever and sit beside the tree of life only to seek the shade. Many are bright and illuminate the the world yet I am dumb and dark the feces of a maggot. Plus I have very high self esteem perfectly fine with my condition. The image I project to the outside world no one takes notice or cares.
-
I am a maggots feces and I am forever grateful. When I get bills I am thankful to have these services. When God is not there I am thankful that man created God so I do not need to be responsible or answer deep questions for myself. When I use my power I always give credit to an entity that is way better then myself being the feces of a maggot and a sinner

It is amazing how much the bible has borrowed from older traditions. The ufo thing fits nicely being like God from another place, two worlds. (world means one), not part of nature, being higher and far away from ourselves The best miss direction ever conceived. LOOK up there. Scientology would be way into this and their spaceship arriving to take them away from themselves. Good SI FI writing made real gotta love it. Being an actual alien believe me there is no such thing as UFO or aliens. Go to work humans for your owners so your owners can enjoy a rich and decadent lifestyle and everything will be ok.

illiterate interpretation is always hilarious so let me get this straight on the 7th day not god created the world and not God said let there be light. Genesis has nothing to do with creation, great comedy,really funny video. This is good material for the millennials since they have no cause of their own. the millennials will have to rethink what color to dye their hair or go vegan or eat pork it's all so confusing. The bible? that is the book in hotel rooms right. Maybe if we take one pork rib and put it in a vegetable we could create a gender of meat vegetables and things would not be so confusing.

There are lots of children at the Wudang Temples as young as 5 and up. If you go to get meals do not be late because the kids will eat it all up! The kids that grow up here at age 20 they have been practicing for 8 hours a day for fifteen years and are proficient in many methods.

Most awesome story, I love the stories of immortals or buddhas not knowing that they are enlightened. The ending is great both choices at the same time The great way. One young monk told of an encounter in which Wu-ming asked him, "Can you tell me where my home is?" Confused as to the spirit of the question. The monk replied, "Is the home you speak of to be found in the relative world of time and place, or do you mean the Original Home of all pervading Buddha nature?" After pausing a moment to consider the question, Wu-ming looked up and, grinning as only he is capable, said, "Yes."
