alchemist Posted July 23, 2014 Hello, I am from Russia, and I am a disciple of a Daoist school Wuliupai (here you can read a bit more about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wuliupai). Here I am planning to give some info about the School, its main principles, and also publish some translations of the classics that are either written by the Patriarchs of the School, or other famous Patriarchs of Daoism and inner alchemy (neidan). Also, I am always glad to answer any questions. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Sternbach Posted July 23, 2014 Hi (fellow) Alchemist! Â That surely sounds interesting what the Wikipedia article has to say about your system. I found the following quote particularly intriguing: Â "A distinctive trait of the school is its postulated identity of Taoist principles with those of early Chan Buddhism." Â This is reminiscent of certain writings by Alan Watts - even though he tended to look at early Eastern philosophies from the Zen perspective of spontaneous awakening and was not so interested in the more Taoist/Alchemical/Qigong approach that your school seems to follow. That said, I think that such distinctions are somewhat artificial and that the different outlooks are in truth rather complementing than contradicting each other. Hey, doesn't this sound quite Taoist? Â Be that as it may, I am looking forward to further exchange. Â Cheers, Michael 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
