dao zhen Posted December 21, 2008 The ideal of a master living off heavenly dew and air only is a common one, but I have, yet to meet a teacher that can do this. There are masters of this level...... Yet they will usually only pass on their experience to one student... Such a master will live in a very remote place such as a cave, or a remote pit they have dug in the earth themselves.... You must have an order from Heaven to meet and learn from such a teacher. This means you must have very good karma, and much virtue..... Such a teacher no longer eats food, no longer sleeps, no longer breathes the air from the lungs.... They of course have no need for money..... It is destiny to meet and learn from such an accomplished one...... All other teachers in the human realm are not of such immortal nature...... They need food, shelter, clothes.......... It is just a common sincere act to give something back for their hard work in caring and grooming you and helping to open your eyes to Tao. In the old days a student had to be like a slave to the teacher to learn..... Clean the house of the master, wash the clothes, cook the food, chop wood.... Working sometimes for a few years before being taught anything...... I think things are much easier now, and we just have to work to earn some money for payment, and then practice..... Things are very open in these traditions and masters are sharing many secrets openly..... We should be thankful..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mak_Tin_Si Posted December 21, 2008 Great, people are being more and more greedy by wanting knowledge for free and want masters to teach them for free. It is really not recommended for ALL taoist to learn from this kind of attitude. Money is just the MOST easiest thing you can give to your masters. So I say the master is just too generous to charge for a donation fee which is so little for giving out knowledge and guidiance for the whole life. Everybody here can look at this... A donation of $90 is required to join the lineage of Chi in Nature, with this enrollment you will get the following: -Attunement from the Tin Si to get you into the lineage and gaining the lineage energy. -Enrollment into the lineage and becoming a moon sung (student) -You can ask Tin Si any questions regarding taoism and you can learn from them. -Tin Si will guide you through out your learnings and help you with any obstacles -Just e-mail him if you have problems and he answer you right away. -Get protection energy and blessings from the lineage -Get notice for anything happen in the temple and special notices -Get to know Taoism more and build your linkage into the religion -Get you ready to be obtained into Taoism later on. -Learn about taoism ethics and basics -and more.. One time fee, for the whole life, flexible and online learnings availible. What do you guys think? fair enough? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ya Mu Posted December 21, 2008 If a person is helped by this then it is one of the biggest bargains he will ever get in his whole life. If he isn't then he wasted his money. Most of the time I have found students simply have no idea what a teacher has had to do, how much time and effort the teacher has had to spend, nor the extent of the particular teaching and how far-reaching it can be. It is only after they have taken that initial leap of faith and invested their own time & effort that they found out the teacher's teachings were worth far, far more than what the teacher asked. A student should make this leap of faith choice based on resonance of the true heart energies. If the choice is made with the mind only, then the student can easily find out he wasted his money.

Mak_Tin_Si Posted December 21, 2008 Agreed. The student also have to do their best in learning to make things worth the money too.
