daoseeker Posted September 25, 2008 Hi everybody, I registered recently to become part of that fascinating bunch of people here. I would like to share a bit of my own experiences as from a Daoseekers life and be grateful to all the real worthy contributions of the members here. Even though I found quite some awful offenses by words.... I myself studied Sinology and Religions, being fluent in Chinese, wrote my thesis about the Daoist religious Geography at Laoshan in Shandong. My Chinese Dao friends call me a "sujia Dizi", which means "homestay disciple" in contrast to the "chujia", which "leave homes" - the monks of Daoism. I traveled extensively all throughout China and most of the sacred places of Daoism. My daily work is directly linked to China, and I have the chance to be there 6 or seven times a year - even though mostly for stressing work in Shanghai. I try to not loose my way of practice and stay connected to the original lineage tradition (of Quanzhen Daoism) by going to quanzhen monasteries as often as I can to keep aspration high and motivation stable. Hope to share many insights and worthy informations with you all. Daofa Ziran The way of the Dao can be find in nature OR the method of Dao is being natural OR the practice of Dao means being of its own OR OR OR... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
