Nomad_0 Posted August 14, 2017 Hi everyone! Some time ago I accidentally discover Taoism. Yes, I know how it's sounds, but I didn't heard about it before. I read some articles to get familiar with the concept , but I want to drill into it, so I bought three books: "Zhuangzi", "Tao Te Ching", and "The Secret of the Golden Flower". I didn't read the all of them ( I just start reading "Zhuangzi"), so I'm aware it's just the beginning for me There is a one thing I'd like to ask about meditation. Is there some guidance for it? Is the mindfulness will be good, at least at this moment? I know that practice didn't rest on meditation, but I see a good excercise in it. PS. Sorry for my english. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was practicing buddhism for some time, so it's suites me better. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
