GoFoSho Posted April 4, 2019 Hey, I'm just going to be as honest as I can since I don't really do this type of thing and this is a community I want to be apart of. So long story short, I've started meditating again lately and have been surfing YouTube after work for information on relaxing the mind and what not. I ran into an old video about "John Chang" which I had seen a very long time ago and somehow ended up here after reading up on Mopai. I forgot to mention that I had been delving deep into the Tao Te Ching recently and just Daoism in general so when I started digging information about Mopai the Taoism information that came with a thread on this forum really caught my attention. I just wanna make it clear that I am not here just for information about Mopai but I consider myself a student of life and I feel that my past lives have some sort of connection to the Daoist way of life(if i can call it that). I am an asian in my thirties living in Australia, single and have my own business but I honestly feel like I would drop everything to find a real master to teach "the way" jc 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
