learning about the group

Recommended Posts

hi all, i’ve been interested in taoism for 45 years and leaned later to buddhism, because i couldn’t find a taoist group anywhere. taoism makes so much sense to my mind. i’m a secularist, and the taoism fits in. i know china has had a taoist revival, but it’s esoteric, not the same we look to here. so i’m excited about being here. yours in the tao, stanford

Welcome to the Tao Bums.  A wonderful forum to learn, discuss and cultivate.  Below are 3 important sections: Our Rules, The Insult Policy and our 3 Foundations.  Before you join give them a read. 

 

Most of it boils down to being respectful.  No name calling or trolling.  Post as if your mom's looking over your shoulder.  Discussion and arguments are what the board is about.  Keep it civil, don't get personal.  Don't be a troll or one issue zealot. 

 

We're here for good conversation and make some friend along the way, to be a community.  Jump right in, start threads asking questions, look for interesting threads and post your (relevant) thoughts. 

 

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,

 

Michael and the TDB team

Our Insult Policy- Read it, Live it

 

 

 

Welcome, I often mix up Zen Buddhism with Taoism.  I shouldn't but they feel like similar species. :)
