dave10 Posted November 10, 2015 Hello, Tao Bums. I am a writer from Memphis, Tennessee. My long-time interest in Buddhism has slowly caved in to an ongoing and somewhat impassioned desire to learn more about Chinese belief systems. I've been studying and reading and about all I can say at this point is that I have yet to come across anything in later (Zhuangzi vintage) Taoism that doesn't feel entirely right. Perhaps most of all is Zhuangzi's statement that laughter and humor are to be consider near-sacred. This, I think, sealed the deal for me. Hoping to learn lots, enjoy making friends, and seeing what happens. Dave in Memphis 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
