jigme kunzang Posted January 9, 2012 Hi All My view is a Buddhist one, in other words I practice for the enlightenment of all sentient beings. My practice is integral, meaning I am open to practicing in any tradition that is efficient in cultivating self mastery. In the coming year my girlfriend and I wish to structure our lives around a submersion training in Taoist meditation, Qigong and martial arts. Because I am new to the internal martial arts community I am asking for help in finding teachers with whom we could undergo intensive training. I am thinking of living in the Bay Area but I am open to other possibilities. Please!!! if anyone out there has advice on legitimate teachers let me know.

Harmonious Emptiness Posted January 9, 2012 Feel free to start a topic in the General Discussion area. I'm interested in the responses too. There may be some ordained Taoists in the Bay area. There is also a Shaolin center in San Francisco, more authentic than a few in China, where they probably teach Buddhist Qi Gong (mostly hard, martial style), and martial arts. I'm not sure if they would get into Taoist meditation, per se, however... I say it is more authentic because it was started by monks and grandmasters who fled the cultural revolution in order to preserve the Order. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
