Sure is a whole lotta talk about nothing going on here.

:stuck_out_tongue:

anyway… 3 stages in life

  1. Confucian - you are the scholar, learning, observing, making the connections

  2. You are a Buddhist, you see there is more than constructs, there is something other.

  3. You are a Taoist, you have stopped worrying and caring about constructs this brings you contentment. Then you die.

find what you like in those 3. But you’ll likely go through them yourself if you aren’t well on your way already.

get it? “way”? :stuck_out_tongue:

Nawh, that was just my worldly goods when I stopped for noodles in Dengfeng.

[QUOTE=mig;1205699]Since many of practitioners seem to be knowledgeable in Kung fu including internal arts, I wonder how many are interested in Daoism and how the religion/philosophy impact your practice in all aspects. As a westerner do you rely more on the western version of all the Daoist reference books or traditional canons.

Thanks,

taoist studies have had a massive effect on my way of life and practicing ~ I don’t really get into books ~ I’m more interested in martial arts ~ also other stuff like herbal medicine and feng shui ~ also magic ~ I’m interested in a lot of taoist stuff ~ but not so much books ~ but I do use I Ching Oracle cards ~ I do all of the hexagrams in ding shi bagua circle walking ~ also chi kung taoist meditations and visualizations
