Capable Posted February 10, 2017 Hello, I am an acquaintance of Marblehead and asked to join this forum. I have been studying Taoism and Buddhism casually for many years, and I have meditated quite a bit. Tao Te Ching was an eye-opener for me and ultimately helped lead me to philosophy many years ago. Â I look forward to good conversation and hopefully learning a thing or two here. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marblehead Posted February 10, 2017 Hello Capable, 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 Capable,  I'm glad you made it over. Two different Taoist studies going on right now, one of the Tao Te Ching and another of Victor Mair's translation of the Chuang Tzu.  You are welcome to jump right in ongoing discussions, revive an older thread, start a new thread of your own, or start a discussion in the "Newcomer Corner" sub-forms to expand on your introduction or ask general questions to help you get started.  May you enjoy your time here.  Marblehead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
