Taoist Lists or History

[_王彗_]

There could be people who don`t want information like this, also could be those, who already archived it by deep researching of the Tradition.

Still, I think there is people that will find it quiet useful and interesting.

[damdao]

Thanks for the information. As I don't know, I would like to ask some questions:

Is it possible to say something about the features of a true school?

How to distinguish a false school?

What kind of cultivation practice non neidan schools and what are their goals?

How is the relation between schools these days?

Thanks in advance

[Taoist Texts]

Thanks for the information. As I don't know, I would like to ask some questions:

Is it possible to say something about the features of a true school?

How to distinguish a false school?

 

There is no such thing as a false school. False is not definable, it is a subjective characterization.

[damdao]

I think that I don't get what you mean:

There is no such thing as a false school. False is not definable, it is a subjective characterization.

 

I agree that "false" is a vague category and that from an anthropological point of view if a group claim to be daoist and people around it recognize it as daoist you can include it between daoists, but,on the other hand -from an historical and philosophical point of view-, you can criticize the ties, historical origins, teachings, textual support, development, etc. and conclude that it is not a daoist group despite its claims.

No need to go further, somewhere in Colombia (I think) there is a "gnostic" group claiming to be a daoist monastery, and of course it is neither gnostic nor daoist. I think that your criteria for delimiting a category are more dangerous than mine. In that line there is no true schools either. Leaving all that jazz aside, I ask for daoist criteria and as the OP says, I am asking about historical facts or historical debate.

If a school is cool and help people -or people believe that- or even if it is effective, it's ok, but I'm asking about true daoist schools (its teachings, texts, etiquette, strata, etc.).

[Taoist Texts]

I ask for daoist criteria

I understand, thats a valid question with a disappointing answer: there is no such thing. There are no 'daoist criteria' as to who is a true daoist and who is a false one. There are two reasons for that:

 

A. 'daoism' is a western construct with no consensual definition

 

http://www.daoistcenter.org/daoist3.html

 

B. Any criticism historicaly levelled by some 'daoists' against 'other daoists' was not in a format of 'You are not a true daoist! - No, you are not! ' but was directed at methods or results rather than at schools, the schools themselves being posteriori notions of later outgroup historiographers, and not self-identifications by the former ingroups.

[flowing hands]

One must remember that beyond the spring & autumn period, reference to Dao was probably talked about in a different way. One must remember the root of Dao comes from shamanism and without asking, it was called something else. I'll try and find out. Again when the Chinese first made characters to picture what they mean't, Dao was made by putting two characters together. So what did they say to talk about a spiritual and wise way?

You should add my transmitted version and new chapters to your list. My version was taught to me in 1986/7, published in 1992 (out of print). As this is not a 'translation' I think this is quite unique. The further verses in 2014. The establishment of a new sect which includes for the first time Hau Tou Xian Shi as a bond brother to Li Erh Xian Shi and Chi Tien Da Shen, in 1989.

OK I have found out what people called 'Dao' before the word was invented. In days gone by when a shaman was the wise bringer of knowledge, people talked about 'spirit knowledge' or 'spirit ways'. So as people realised that what the spirit (through the shaman) was saying, gave them an understanding of the environment, a way to live more beneficially to themselves and to their environment, they used the two pictograms of 'foot' and 'head' depicting a shaman wearing deer antlers to mean 'a wise way', a path.

 

I have been banging on since I joined this forum about the basis of Daoism being from the spiritual and certainly not any intellectual pursuit and to read any Daoist work without a true understanding from its roots, will lead to complete misunderstanding. That's my little rant

I know we have talked about this in another thread, but I have held to a shaman wearing deer antlers as the pictograph as that is what makes the most sense to me... Only one other person I knew even remotely held this idea... Here, at TTB, I heard you say this; as a Shaman, I am glad to see such things confirmed.

What about the long protruding tongue.? there must be long protruding tongue there somewhere

 

 

 

 

Wooden Guardian Figure

Southern China

Eastern Zhou Period (c.4th Century BC)

Height: c.43.7 cm

Figures like this were placed in tombs as guardians in the Chu state in Hanan and the Hubei province. The people who set these up venerated and feared a number of spirits. They used shamans to intercede and communicate with them. Wearing antlers seems to have been significant in shamanistic rituals. Carved figures with antlers probably represented the shamans or their powers.

The antlers on this figure are made from dry lacquer and the figure has a long protruding tongue.

Not sure why they used the long tongue!! But a very animalistic period where things were perceived as half human and half animals.
