Over the years men get drained from sex and women are more inclined to find a new “battery”.

“Freed from desire, you can see the hidden mystery.
By having desire, you can only see what is visibly real.”
Tao Te Ching

Is it a description of a state of being or a description of what will happen if you practice a method? In general, Zen masters never talk about those things even though they may have those kind of abilities. But I understand what you are trying to say.

I personally don’t like the Chan methods of koans, emptiness meditations, or whatever they use, because I don’t think that they are very useful.

Chan/Zen methods have produced quiet a few enlightened masters. Emptiness meditation is also a foundation advised in Taoist texts by many Immortals.

So, to my knowledge, the most basic tool of inner alchemy, the inner smile, is the best way to clean the mind of passions and desires before beginning One Cloud’s formulation.

Yes, the inner smile is a good method.

So, in my view, Michael DOES emphasize cleaning the heart of desires and passions before beginning the more advanced…[Read more]

Fajin,
What language is metta from?

It’s a Pali word. Read more here:
http://www.accesstoinsight.org/lib/authors/buddharakkhita/wheel365.html

Yang, Jwing Ming, Buddhists go external to internal while Daoists go internal to external.

I would like to go deeper into description to clarify what Buddha taught (it’s one of many methods he…[Read more]

I just want you to know how much I appreciate Bagua sharing his experiences, with his angelic patience and ability to express concepts far surpassing mine. Tune to the energy of his messages- they tell far more then the words posted.

Adrian,
Please do not take it personally but Bagua’s understanding of original Taoism and Buddhism is very clear and experientially deep. It takes many years to find and experience your own truth. You need to verify things on your own. I agree with many things what Michael says but his comments on Chan didn’t resonate with what I’ve experienced…[Read more]

Hello Fajin, or should I call you Adrian from now?

Buddhists attempt to still the mind, but what is making the mind unstill?

Here is what Buddha observed through his meditations. It’s only a crude version and you can write pages on it. I’m taking it from my other post so you don’t have to look.

====================
“1. Everything in this…[Read more]

Fajin,
I read through the whole thread and believe you misunderstand what teahings as taught by Buddha are and also have high hopes based on the descriptions that come with Michael’s formulas.

You have great trust in Michael and what he said, therefore you should go on and study what he teaches and dedicate time to practice it. In order to…[Read more]

…and my mind is polluted as well.

So, like you said Max we should practice Michael’s alchemy with an unpolluted mind first. That’s what the inner smile does, but fusion (the 1st formula) does at a deeper level.
You know, I really hope you will be able to get to that point.

What part of you signed first, and what – second?

I have been many “enlightened” teachers.
Seems like you misspelled it, but to make sure, you meant ‘seen’, right?
If not, could you tell more on this? Like names.

Wow, you really put some time into this and I appreciate you cared enough to dedicate you to clearing things.

I simply can’t go point by point to respond to all this- it would take a lot of time, plus believe it or not, I agree with lots of it anyway. I want to address the most important aspects of this debate.

But from my understanding, the…[Read more]

I read your earlier posts with Michael about Chan and Daoism and I couldn’t help seeing you got schooled every time.
You’re too funny to think there could be a winner in this discussion. Plus you didn’t read the posts that were ‘magically’ deleted due to the ‘accidents’ by webmasters.

Most of my knowledge of Daoist alchemy is from speaking to…[Read more]

You have an idealistic view of what Taoist alchemy is. Let’s wait 5 years from now and then, if we are still around, we will have round 3. But for now, read again what Bagua said to you. He is saving you a lot of time.

…made you look.

Why do you always have to bring Chan Buddhism vs. Taoist Alchemy? Is it because of Nan Huai-Chin?

“WHO is attuning to the center?” I like that. Even Buddha can be proud of this question.

The Daoist formulas are simple enough, and they will set you free. I hope you know what you’re missing though
No formulas can set you free. They will help you at the begining on your Path but that’s about it. Plus, why do you think Bagua has no experience with Taoist formulas?

So really, the ego and the wisdom mind are the same, it is just the…[Read more]
