I believe music can assist in setting the the space in Daoist practices. I use a bell to clear the space of My studio before I teach & practice; I aslo do Joss stick ceremony daily.

I also use specific music designed for specific Qigong sets that I have taught for past years. Early on I never used music then studied with a Master from Taiwan…[Read more]

Below is a article on porn addcition which I found to be a very grounded and honest view on it.

A Mentor Priest in Taiwan forwarded this to me;

姓名：虛擬太，皇線章49條。撰人不詳，似出於隋唐之際。書面身份不明的人，似乎出於隋唐。此經爲虛皇天尊爲妙行眞人等演說教義，分爲四十九章，至於這個假想線，是最佳路線，為皇帝陳人講話學說，分為49個章節。經文以道家清靜無爲之說爲本，論述修道之境界及其方法。道教經文寧靜說，不採取行動的這一點，境界的宗教，並討論了。書中分學道者爲三乘： “末學之士，目不妄視，耳不妄聽，心不妄知，禁約一切，泯絶萬態以致於道” ，此爲小乘。校道，這本書分三乘： “在去年底的殘疾人，頭部不要跳，不要跳，以耳朵聽，我不跳知道，削減約一切，刪除萬元，國家必須導致該道路” ，這是小乘。…[Read more]

**The list you give, is it his? 🙂 It is a very bizarre list.
Buddha FOLLOWED zen???? ‘Platonism’ is to do with Plato’s ‘Republic’? I can’t believe a scholar wrote that!**

Hi Sebastian,

It really boils down making the choice to practice; and how much you want it. Writing it out might be good; when you physically write a schedule for yourself you will be more commited. I dont advise the computer its not the same effect as penmanship.

Most of the teachers I have studied with over my life required me to do a…[Read more]

Hi IndwaiDumela,

I see this as:

The most practical aspect would be connect them with a teacher from this background and have them learn it; so they can understand it and not have to rely on someone. Would take some time to learn but easy to get if they are open to it.

It’s very true that some can project many waves, types and processes…[Read more]
