New hello

[sifu wolf]

Hello to the rest of the tao. This bit has been an ordained taoist monk (mystic) living in monasteries deep in the mountains of Tibet, northern China and northern Thailand for over 35 years. This skinbag is now head trainer at Tao Wu Shin Temple in Australia. Unfortunatly this is the first computer these fingers have touched, so its all one finger typing for now and bad spelling. Please bear with. My students call me wolf. As my computer skills improve i hope to be able to chat with other liberated minds. Till then. Regards Wolf, abbott Tao Wu Shin temple

Hi sifu Wolf,

My name is Shon Tonga ='s grey wolf : )

It is nice to meet you.

i don't know very much about the "religious" role of taoism

(sorry i don't know how to word that better!).

It will be nice to hear what you have to share.

The computer skills will come quickly

with interesting conversation, am thinking!

Enjoy!

 

Nice to meet another

who's been given a fuzzy sort of name.

Have been told many times

that we're all just bags of skin filled with dirty water...

till we dry out to dust!

Kinda seems true ?

 

Stay well,

Shon

I have a video of a master doing Tai Chi which I watch at least once a day as I lay on my couch.

 

Honest!

 

Actually I just walk up and down stairs all day long.

 

Look forward to sharing insights.

Hey Wolf- You look like Kevin Spacey had he been in THE MATRIX!

 

Glad to see you got unplugged Neo!

love it!

LOL.

was wondering if practice was a wasting of time!

... have had intense homework on walking stairs.

good meditation to "see" all the actions

to direct sink and to then see rise

and so much more

 

 

Rather lay on the couch though!!!

 

 

would be so nice...yawn!

Hello Shon. The solution is to watch your skinbag on the couch. Theres more in that than stairs. Weight, temperature, thoughts, feelings, breathing just to mention a few. theres a million more. Actually move over, sounds like a nice couch. you got cable? lol Wolf

Hello Son. Thank you for your response. This skinbag is thinking the matrix was a documentary. The parallel to actuality is remarkable. Kevin Spacey? Taaa. Regards Wolf

Do you always refer to yourself in the third person?

Do you always refer to yourself in the third person?

 

 

 

This tired old child

Has had training of sorts

at times in this strange life

both when young and then re repeated

periodically later in life

that it was not part of the language used

to say I/you/etc. or make distinctions between

 

plays with ones head/ego/your word here

 

( *I* Like playing with distinctions and "separations" because of it )

 

It's always fun to see others that leave out or don't bother to use those words.

 

Sweet!

 

also have had training not using adjectives

Love to use sparkling adjectives!

or dirty dingy scuffed up ones ?

 

and also to not use punctuation!!!!

 

... I am a happily confused Rebel!!??!!

 

See you!

Shon

 

was courious also, though,

if it was a part of "training" ?

always wonder about folks stories.

Stay well all!

Do you always refer to yourself in the third person?

Hello Darin. Yes. The Tao, as you no doubt realize, is one. All that there is. The so called self is a bunch of thoughts and concepts. Every me, my or i only serves to separate from the one even further. Its a lie. If you can sit back and watch the self, then you are not it. You are the watcher. Your questions are refreshingly direct and unassuming. love real curiosity it shows selflessness. nice talking to you. Wolf
