For not sharing the same view as Wendy about me. I thought Nan-Huai Chin wrote a book about Daoism? I won’t argue with you about Chan, I will stop if bothers you.

Smiles away,

Bagua,

You made some pretty solid points this time that I will have to agree with, but let me say my part.

About powers, I don’t mean to necessarily develop powers that would help with spirituality, but to help adapt with life. For example, you were telling me how much freedom do we have, we have to take a plane, eat, sleep, drink, etc. I…[Read more]

Maybe she eats too much salami. Red meat makes your heart fire rise and ego is overactive. She certainly likes to make comments about others, especially from what I’ve seen on the post about hair, then about me being arrogant and narrow minded for no particular reason. I hope that whatever path she is embarking on, she works on that out-of-control…[Read more]

Max,

Nan Huai Chin does not practice solely Chan, not a good example. No need for examples. I know Chan is historically a monastic path and so it may be that there were some Chan Buddhists that have developed powers. I do agree that Chan does have an effect on qi and therefore powers may develop. I only meant that with Chan, you cannot…[Read more]

A typical comment from a typical Westerner. It is people like you that Easterners were afraid to allow their secrets to slip off to. You are always the type to initiate. I see why Jernej is a misogynist, women like you. There is a reason Bagua continue to discuss with me, he enjoys it and has learned from me, so have I. If you think I am a fire…[Read more]

Hi Max,

I know that Chan does not attempt to develop powers, and same with the Dao path. You misinterpret alot of what I say. I just said that through Chan practice, one cannot develop any siddhis. I don’t see how it does that? Can you name one Chan master who had any superpowers from his Chan practice?

It doesn’t allow for that level of…[Read more]

Max,

I see. You were referring to when I said Chan does not allow that level of freedom.

So are you saying Chan allows that level of freedom, to be able to teleport anywhere you want on Earth? What do you base this assertion on? Personally, I can’t see how reciting koans will be able to allow one to do this.

On my experience.

Thank you

Hi Bagua,

You make me smile to, even as I click your post. Haha!

>>You are restrited to a physical body, you need air to live, you need food to live, you must shit or you will be sick, suffer and die, and on and on, how much freedom to you have?<>I do not know if Lu Dong Bin existed, or if the legends what they say are true, Chinese history…[Read more]

Bagua and Max,

Thanks for the advice, but that’s not the answer I am specifically looking for. I hope Michael will be able to clear it up for me.

Metta to you both,
Fajin

Bagua,

All right, here we go again. There was a beginning to this discussion, and so it will have an end, do you know when it will end? The choice is yours. All you have to do is agree with a smile, like me smiling through my loving heart as I type these lovely words to you, my friend.

>>You like to use the word free will, I hope you can…[Read more]

Bagua,

Let me begin that Lao Tsu says in chapter 1.

“The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao.
The name that can be named is not the eternal name.
The nameless is the beginning of heaven and earth.
The named is the mother of ten thousand things.”

I am not saying something beyond human understanding, Bagua. I try to follow…[Read more]

That’s what I like about Michael’s practice, he penetrates straight into early heaven, a much deeper, if not deepest, level than the level Mantak is working on. But, the question is, through Mantak’s practice of accessing the postnatal realm, does one eventually penetrate to the prenatal realm? I guess it does, as it must in every path in one way…[Read more]

Good point Singing Ocean. In the Tibetan tradition, we dedicate ourselves to the Gurus teachings and we recite a lineage prayer. We have a special connection with Milarepa, Naropa, etc. and Guru just as in Daoist alchemy, the immortals and the teacher.

Thanks for the reference, I read it already.

I was referring to any practice that works on the core vessel.

Bagua,

Science is still in kindergarten, just extract what it knows, not what’s theoretical.

OK, but why does Wu Ji express itself? What drives it to do so?

Thanks

It’s a very blissful experience. Speaking of duration, it’s like several hours pass by when only a few seconds pass by. I love it!

Simply practice on the core vessel, but still question remains what is more effective. Until another time, Trunk.

Hi Bagua,

How/why did Chong create du and ren? What made it do that?

Thanks!
