Crouching_tiger Posted February 19, 2016 Hello- It feels great to be writing this, and although I'm stuck on how I want to express what I want to say, I know that I am here for a reason that I will not regret. I'm a young person who seeks to discover the deeper dimensions of Dao, to apply the principles of wu wei, detachment, and compassion as I am experiencing transitions in my life, and to find fluidity, groundedness and ease in my mind and body (that is a mouthful!). I am currently enjoying Stephen Mitchell's translation of Tao Te Ching. My name is Tiger. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marblehead Posted February 19, 2016 Hello Crouching_tiger, and welcome. 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 Tiger, Yeah, we all go through changes throughout our life. Sometimes the changes are difficult to deal with and a lot of people get stuck during the transition. Daoism will get us pointed in a worthy direction. But we still have to do the work. Yeah, wu wei is actually a good method for efficiently using the time we have in this life. Best Wishes on your journey. May you enjoy your time here.

Michael Sternbach Posted February 19, 2016 Hello Tiger, Welcome to TDB and the way of Daoism. If you follow this way, one day you may find that the crouching tiger has turned into a hidden dragon. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
