The Lineage of Tai Shun Lo Jun (Li Erh Xian Shi)

[flowing hands]

Tai Shun Lo Jun or Lao Tzu or proper name Li Erh Xian Shi, is a widely known figure who lived approximately 600 years BC. He is well known for his teachings he left, which were later given the title as the Dao De Jhing. He wrote some 150 or so verses, but only 81 were ever used and compiled together. He was a great Immortal before this time and he reincarnated and took on the name Li Erh. He lived in a very deeply rooted shamanistic culture, where spiritual cultivators were looked upon as the highest state humans could achieve. He found a teacher and was influenced by many others. He became enlightened, but lived an ordinary life. He wrote his understandings down at a time when he knew he would be coming to an end of his mortal life.

When he died his spirit became once more a great Immortal. Holy people and shamans have been taught by him over these many years although alone it is extremely rare, for he is normally associated with other Immortals who do the teaching of Shamans. If one was extremely lucky and was only taught by him, in such practices, they would be totally uninfluenced by any Indian religions such as Buddhism and Hinduism. There would be no incense, no offerings of fruit or food. The way the shaman would pray and beg Li Erh to come to them would be very different to what we would associate with such practices. As a system, Li Erh is extremely hard to learn from, but if one does achieve this it is very different from the sects we have seen that claim to be taught by him. These are extensively heavily influenced by Indian religions.

 

The lineage of Li Erh is totally Daoist; his teaching is complete and he does not need the influence of other Immortals or religions. This is the bench mark.

"A great tree stretches its limbs towards the Heavens

Men should practice being like trees.

A great tree draws its goodness from the Earth and from Heaven,

Men should practice being like trees.

 

For the goodness in all things comes from the Earth and from the Heavens.

 

Be at one with Heaven and Earth.

If you are at one with Heaven and Earth you can become Divine.

Being Devine you can be at one forever."

 

There are no incense, no hands together, no fruit or offerings as such.....just a sincere open heart.
