A friend of mine passed along this wonderful opportunity. I don't know if I can attend due to work constraints though. If any of you are really good at note taking I would be willing to pay 50% your expenses for a copy of your notes about the training.

Thanks for the information

 

The price is not so expensive at all, if i compare to the other prices, of students of the lineage of Master Wang Liping that i had been seen

I believe there is a discount for groups, so it might be a good idea for everyone interested in attending to group together.

Dear God this is CHEAP! This costs less than most qigong seminars, but it is on internal alchemy and is taught by THE Wang Liping! [EDIT: Apparently I got the wrong impression from the web page and Master Wang will not be teaching the seminar. But the rest of what I said still applies.] This may very well be the most extraordinary opportunity for Americans to study traditional nei dan I have ever seen. (And it makes Sean Denty's excuses for David Shen charging so much look very suspicious, for those of you who remember that debacle.)

 

Thank you Ms. Li for organizing this.

 

And yet I don't think this is for me right at this point in my life. Maybe they will be able to do something similar in the future? It truly looks like a wonderful opportunity.

 

Thanks for bringing this to the forum's attention MPG.

More Pie Guy,

 

Thanks for posting the information and for your matching funds offer! It does sound very reasonable. If I remember correctly, Cam has met Kathyli and said good things about her. The Big Dipper practice sounds very cool. Is it a steppings practice? I won't be attending myself, but would love for someone to take up More Pie Guy's offer... that would bring the workshop cost down to $100 or so and then the travel. If anyone is driving through SC and would like to spend a night in Columbia, feel free. I believe we are 3.5 +/- hours from Stone Mountain, GA.

 

Your pal,

Yoda

 

 

Here's a wiki link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taoist_Wang_Liping

I read the book a few years ago. If I still have the book, I'd love to read it again.

Ha ha, don't know why Kathy didn't post this yet...but just to clarify:

Thank you Ms. Li for organizing this. And many thanks to Master Liping for agreeing to come to America to teach.

Uh, Wang Liping is NOT going to be there!!! Repeat, "Elvis" will not be in this building!

 

Although this will still be a very cool & much more accessible opportunity for us Statesiders, and I will be there...at the risk of becoming a workshop junky.

Vortex,

 

If you do attend take very good notes I'll pay 1/2 your tuition.

Vortex,

 

Thanks for posting the clarification! The important thing is that you'll be there!!!

LOL...right. I guess when it said "Sponsor: Kathy Li" I assumed that meant she was sponsoring Master Wang to come and teach. Oh how the mind fill in the blanks as it sees fit .

I don't know Ms Li personally but one thing I do know is that she is definitely a much more reliable source of information on Master Wang than Verdesi , who had a long list of proven lies about his relationship with Master Wang and his own level of archievement.

Kathy is a sweet heart. I had a wonderful time getting lunch with her and her husband in Atlanta. I feel I pretty far down the path I have been on the last year and half but if I wasn't and was still in Atlanta would jump at the chance to learn from Kathy.

 

Of course we enver really know what destinty has in store for us. If I find myself interested in hopping over to China in the future to see Master Wang I know Kathy is my go to friend stateside for info.

 

She is very funny also. These Chinese Taoist woman are great! Hanging out with Kathy and Sifu Jenny more recently has really instilled in me deep appreciation for the female perspective of these practices.

 

Franky..I think we all have alot to learn from them..make that double for the Tao Bums

They are classical Daoism health practicing technologies discovered hundreds or thousands years ago. Each exercise was record by the practitioners. Since the sentences and words of the books are difficult to be understand, it's impossible to do those exercises without teacher's guide.

Hi Kathy and fellow Taobums,

 

I just received a very kind invitation to attend this event from Kathy (thank you) and thought I would return the favor with a little plug for the teaching. This is a really great opportunity and I am encouraged to see people interested.

 

I had a chance to study privately with Master Wang Li Ping last year in China and have to say that he is one of the most remarkable teachers I have ever met. The experience changed my life for ever.

 

To study these teachings is a rare thing and it's really heart warming to see this Tao come to the West.

 

Yours truly, Sean Denty

Great to hear a blast from the past here.

 

I would love to hear more about your experience with him. Does he live up to his immense hype as a modern, "fully-walk-thru-walls-enlightened" Taoist immortal? Or what "level" would you describe him at? What's it like to be in his presence? What types of personal breakthroughs and realizations did you make, if any? How long did you study with him and what types of things did you learn - anything really new to you? Do you feel like he straightened and clarified your path?

 

And could he beat "John Chang" arm-wrestling?

 

 

Ok, sorry if that was too many questions or too sophomoric. But, can't hurt to ask...lol?

[minkus]

Suprised to see Sean Denty again yeh. Few days ago i was wondring how it would be with you and David.

Hey, it seems verdesi run out of money, and his master Wang Liping is not exclusive anymore. Unfortunately for him, a lot of people made contact with master Wang, no need for fake representatives like verdesi. Behold earth creatures!!Master David got out of his cage, ready(?) to share his knowledge with humanity!!
