Marblehead Posted December 29, 2017 Hello, Bill 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 post 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 Bill, Basically the same thing I just posted to elliotaws: There are a number of us who keep discussions of Daoism alive. You are welcome to join in anywhere, any time. I have always preferred Burton Watson's translation of the Chuang Tzu. This site may be very useful to you: https://terebess.hu/english/lexikon/c.html 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 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had been studying Golden Dawn style magic for about two years and knew that something was missing and then I read a few books by Master Waysun Liao and really liked what I read and have been doing basic Tao Gong exercises and feel optimistic about Taoism in general so far. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Taiji Bum Posted January 2, 2018 OOooooooooo....... Waysun Liao is one of my favorites as is the Golden Dawn. Welcome, welcome, welcome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
