n01ne Posted December 11, 2013 greetings, Â knowing this site for many years, i had to sign up here eventually, a place for bum exchanges. i am a highly confused bum living in a tent and moving around asia since a few years. Â now the confusion reached a peak, and instead of asking myself and searching inside, i decided to try something new and ask around, believing that these public discussions surely benefit many. Â the main topic i am interested in is about qigong lineage and channeling taoist gods with or without formless qigong. Â Â because of lately after spending some years practicing in china and myanmar, just as i thought that my mind has figured out something, i got introduced into the chinese temple culture in malaysia, which flipped my concept of what is or can be considered practicing the dhamma and dao(ism) i am interested in exchanging ideas about outside helpers (pantheon of gods), qigong masters lineage energy compared to own selfcenterd practice and strength. the karma associated to each of the approaches and where it all leads to.

Â Hi Chang, how is your concept changing? From what to what? I think lineage empowerments can be excellent. Edited December 14, 2013 by de_paradise Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
n01ne Posted December 20, 2013 Hello de_paradise, i assume you was adressing me. the concept changed from an exclusive perspecitve (exluding of good practices because of ignorance about how they can trigger the same realisations) to a more inclusive concept, including also this and that which was unknown to me before or didnt consider the longterm perspecitve of the practice. now thinking: of course this also is part of it, just wondering why did i never hear or read much about it before. also just because i havent heard of it doesnt mean its not widely known.. so i just had to drop the arrogance of this thought and accept that i cant know all the shoes and not every shoe can fit every foot but they still can be usefull, nice and comfortable for a lot of people. also dont need to know about all the shoes and their details anyway since i prefer barefoot walking. but somehow i like to talk about shoes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
