Kestrel Posted January 15, 2016 I appreciate you for reading this; I'm Kestrel, just another user traveling the road of life. Recently(within the past 5 months) have adopted Dao philosophy and I've seen it make life changing results already. I'm currently in a troubling time, looking for both guidance and assistance in interpretation with some texts at this point. I look forward to meeting you all and contributing much to Dao related discussion. See you soon, Kestrel 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marblehead Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) Hello, Kestrel, and welcome to the forums, Your membership is approved and we're happy you found your way to us. We look forward to accompanying you on some of the way that you still have to go. Please take the time to read the two posts pinned at the top of this Welcome page and take a look at the forum terms and rules. This covers all you need to know when getting started. For the first week you will be restricted to ten posts per day but after that you can post as much as you like. Also, until you’ve posted fifteen times in the forums, you’ll be a “Junior Bum” with somewhat restricted access and will be allowed only two private messages per day. Good luck in your pursuits and best wishes to you, Marblehead and the TDB team Hi Kestrel, I just took on this job and that is why we have been slow with your approval. Welcome to Taoism. Yes, there are other systems discussed here as well. There are a number of members who enjoy talking about Taoism, especially the TTC and Chuang Tzu. For anything you want to talk about just select the sub-forum you think your post best fits and start a new topic.

manitou Posted January 23, 2016 Hi Kestrel - the wonderful thing about the Dao philosophy is the lack of judgment, the lack of needing to label something as right or something as wrong. Just to live a good life and balance ourselves with nature. So glad you're here. Love your handle, and I love the fact that kestrels have false eyes on top of the head to fool and ward off predators. Lots of birders here too. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shanlung Posted February 4, 2016 The Tao is good medicine indeed. Keep practicing Kestrel. Whatever your ailment, application of Tao will be good and very effective. Cure better than snake oil and antibiotics combined. A bit more of Tao, or a bit less of Teh, will solve about all your problems and problems of Earth from global warming to finanical meltdown or taharrushing mobs. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
