Vajrahridaya Posted May 30, 2009 (edited) What is the mechanism to this, how does that mechanism correlate with the Buddhist mechanisms to Enlightenment. It's basically very good to get to know how your energy works. But, yes, I think enlightenment in Taoism is defined somewhat differently then in Buddhism. So, developing your energy body should co-relate with what you want as your goal. If the goal is different, then how you cultivate your energy will be different. How you manifest your subtle body after the physical dies away, or however... if you attain the rainbow or something... but, yea. The subtle body is not static and how it manifests is dependent upon what your view is. So, if the view is different, so will the outcome. Peace! edit: Now that I've read a lot more of the posts in this thread. I like many of the answers! _/\_ Edited May 30, 2009 by Vajrahridaya Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
