How to cultivate without methods

[gatito]

Wrong.

[dawei]

Wrong.

 

So joining her would be a WRONG MOVE ?

 

You've taken up nine posts, almost 30% to say this ?

[gatito]

No. I certainly didn't say that.

[dawei]

No. I certainly didn't say that.

 

Now 10 posts... what do you want to say? 

[gatito]

Exactly what I said to awaken:

 

Wise move, I think.

 

I think she probably understands what I'm saying - but if she doesn't, she strikes me as someone who would ask for clarification herself.

[awaken]

Do not take it too seriously.

 

It is just an app.

 

You still sit in your house safely.

 

Do not worry, it is ok.

[awaken]

Welcome both of you.

[gatito]

I'm not worried.

 

I'm a teacher in my own right but I choose to teach elsewhere (in person).

[awaken]

I see.

 

Never mind.

 

That group is not for students.

 

It is for friends.

 

It is not easy to get a student.

 

A good student must have the strong willing to achieve the golden Dan.

No. I certainly didn't say that.

I lol'ed at this point

A good student is indeed a treasure, although I have somewhat different selection criteria.

Thanks!

Some of your questions are too personal and not suitable to answer in the forum after I found some people are not friendly here.

 

Anyone else find this to be a weird statement? What is the name of your system and school? Those simple non-personal questions are 'too personal' to answer? even though she did moreorless answer them later...lol

 

Hey awaken, still waiting for you to explain what you meant when you said you realized the right way in 2010 and proved it.

 

If youre going to make statements like that you should be able to clarify.

 

I cant be critical about it myself, just interested what is your explanation. thanks!

No respect , no answer.

 

The way you ask question force me to do what the forum manager told me - ignore it.

 

I do care about the attitude.

 

If you are friendly, I will tell you everything.

 

If you are not, your words are full if bad energy.

 

How can you ask me to answer you?

 

Arguing has bad chi.

 

Sharing has good chi.

 

Please show your good chi.

Same answer

 

No manner, no answers.

 

It is an easy question.

 

But your attitude......

 

Maybe you will find a good way to talk one day.

 

Before that day comes, the only thing I can response to you is ignoring.

 

I believe that the forum managers also want every body is friendly.

 

Give up the feeling of hostility, so the communitarian start.

 

This is a very very basic concept.

 

Everyone should know that, even a child.

 

If someone is not friendly, how can you continue to talk to him.

 

Unless you are too bored, you just want to find someone to fight.

 

 

Maybe you are involved in the forum too much, and you used to the way.

 

I do not know.

 

It is your choice.

 

If you keep on the attitude, hostility, you will get nothing, but a teaching of manners.

 

Your true teacher should teach you this.

 

I do not know why he did not teach you this.

 

If you want to ask something from someone, you need to be friendly.

 

Is that so difficult for you?

Why it is so difficult to answer "an easy question" and "give up the feeling of hostility" first?

 

In another topic my message was deleted by "Taoist Texts", so any "communitarian" cannot be possible... You're speaking about manners, however Astral Monk was obviously honest and open.

 

All these just looks rude and like the only goal is to escape answering easy questions.

 

Do you teach your students the same way? Instead of telling them what is houtian bagua, you lecture them on manners? This way it's hard to keep any students.

My guess is that may be Awaken did not understand that you didn't mean to be rude? -You simply asked a direct question, however may be it sounded a bit off-handish and impolite for her due to different mentalities - western and Chinese? I am just guessing here, no offense intended.

[FondOfDao]

Awaken, what teachers have you learnt taoism from?

Is your teaching for free?

 

A have not qq and don't know how to use it.

[awaken]

Dear fond

 

 

 

I learned from some of my friends when I was a beginner.

 

We are just friends.

 

But I keep on cultivating for many years and do not give up.

 

Of course, I teach for free.

 

But a good manners is needed.

 

Friendly, happily, practice hard....

 

So you can see me ignoring somebody who is not friendly.

 

 

If you treat me just like a friend but not a teacher, it is ok to me.

 

What I care is that if you can succeed or not.

 

 

If you really want to learn, you will find me.

 

It is just an app.

 

I did not ask you to take a plain to Taiwan.

 

 

Wise people take chances in time.

Some people claimed that they have "true" teacher.

 

But their "true" teacher didn't teach them the daoist manners.

 

I am not your teahcer.

 

But I need to tell you the daoist manners.

 

Or you will make the same mistakes again and again.

 

道門三不問

there are three kinds of questions that you should not ask in Daoist

 

一、不問壽

 

You should not ask the age.

 

二、不問師承來歷

 

You should not ask about the school or teacher.

 

三、不問程度

 

You should not ask the Doist cultivators to answer what is their cultivation.

 

 

Someone is very very rude and not aware of any manners they should know.

 

How can you keep on talking about the "true" teacher?

 

Maybe you should find another "true" teacher to teach you the Daoist manners.

I carry on a 700 year old linage from taoist kung fu academy on Mt Wudang China. Asking age is rude but teacher and school that is ridiculous. Many people change school and teacher specialize in Internal alchemy or pick herbs. 

 

Now be very sure to answer .....Who  have you had for teaches and what is your formal school because you have been rude not to answer when asked several times.
