kotaru Posted May 8, 2017 Hello! I'm a practitioner from Argentina. I resided before in Spain. Not good english, sorry. I Knew iching at 8 years old. I left it for the time I'll have wisdom to understand. I know it more, but I'm not compromissed 100% to this practice. I've received good advised from a Priest of the Jade of Highlands, an old sacerdotal line whom Wilhelm was in. He has a book in spanish, and teaches the Golden Flower meditation. Practised 3-4 years Tai Chi Chuan Yang style with a Sifu of a federation. Plum Blossom exactly. This sifu introduced me to a Chikung know as Wubaomen Qigong, a systematized version of Wudang Chikung and Tao Chikung (founded by Lao Tse). Good chikung, very softly and attractive for new practitioners. The Master of this system left the old system for a new system, he calls Wubaomen level 2. Purifying the heart by helping others, using the sun, the earth, the air and the water and plants as masters, this is the most of the practice. The other 30% is excersises. Astonishing effects, gained very quick harmony in the family. And can practice the excersices for the health of others. I read the Hua hu ching, but not the Tao Te king. I think i can't understand it. I know and adquired a commentary by a Dashi of Chan teaching. And have a commentary of the Wubaomen master. Lie, I want to buy those. In the past I had interest in the Bhagavad Gita, curiosity for the Vedanta Advaita and questions of the contents of the Bible. And a little practice of Zhan Zhuang without teacher, thanking to the books of Yu Yong Nian and Master Lam. I Watched many films of buddhism, I like the korean movies about zen/chan and have a little interest in the New Age use of Spirituality. I have respect for the traditional systems but have fear of those systems, because I think that they are difficult and insondable. Salutations to all, and I hope I can serve yours. Sincerely, Kotaru. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
