GreytoWhite Posted March 20, 2014 Use the search function. A lot of the more knowledgeable people have been chased away by various fads and member trends over the years. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RiverSnake Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) Sharing of knowledge is a great joy I have found through TTB. It can also be very beneficial to share are notes on the path with others. My 2 cents, Peace Edited March 20, 2014 by OldChi 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thelerner Posted March 20, 2014 Little known fact. Some of the deepest threads aren't in the Main or Taoist section. They hide in the Personal section and some of the subforums. also Few things are as Taoish as appreciating that which is most useless. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We would be....being somewhere. I envy that. Well, if you'd prefer practicing instead of using internet and your computer that's your decision. It would be an old-fashioned decision lacking some sort of reflection about current times, BUT it would be your decision. Don't blame others for your defilements. So if you'd ask me, go being hardcore .. somewhere Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icedude Posted March 20, 2014 Excluding buddhism, zen, etc. Don't get me wrong I love the company here, but if we were all so HARDCORE taoists we wouldn't even use this site. We would be....being somewhere. I envy that. I concur with ChiDragon: I'd really like to know where this "somewhere" is. Is there a compressed "somewhere" that you've found, that is more "somewhere" than here? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marblehead Posted March 20, 2014 You are wrong about that Ronin. Have you looked at all the TTC Studies threads? After we finished Chapter 81 we had to wait for Flowing Hands to get inspired. We tried (twice) to have a study of the Chuang Tzu but there was very little participation. There are many threads in the "General Discussions" forum that are related to Taoism. And, of course, there is the "Taoist Discussions" forum. I don't keep coming back here, I stay here. Many great discussions with a minimalist moderation system. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

doc benway Posted March 22, 2014 but if we were all so HARDCORE taoists we wouldn't even use this site. Probably why it's called the tao bums, not the hardcore taoists… 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
