  1. I'm crying here.  

      Believe me, I agree with you, Taoist Texts is a troll and frankly speaking an obsessive stalker who seems to feed off of getting under your skin. Dude acts like an asshole, .. man-child

     

    Dont cry Walker, all is well, all is well...when you need a hug you know where to find it:)


  2.  To support such position, he quotes the part from Liu Huayang quoted above.

     

    However, what a surprise, Liu Huayang wrote this:

     

    夫时者,即吾身中慧命自动时也。古德谓之活子时,其生之机,形如烈火,壮似焰风,非师传授意,息莫能制伏。

     

    which clearly says about the necessity of the teacher for a specific practice:excl:

    Is that why you did not translate it? Because it is so clear? LOL

     

    So basically you accuse WLP founder of lying somewhere. In one paragraph he says teacher not needed in another - that teacher is needed. Which one is a lie?


  3. Hey Awaken

     

    As you see they are pretending to give you an examination.

     

    Like they are professors to whom you should show what you know.

     

    Please do not fall into the trap the trolls set up for you.

     

    They intend to wear you out, then puff cheeks and tell that you are wrong, to offend you and to make you stop posting.

     

    They want to steal your ancestors' heritage.

     

    Please do not feed these cultural thieves.

     

    if they tell you what to do, just tell them where to go.

     

    They do not know anything.

  4. To prevent usual trolling: nobody in a true alchemy school won't tell you about his/her personal results, achievements, practice, because if they do it, they won't be able to continue the practice.  

     

    May be. It does not make any sense but may be. OR. May be they can not be specific because they do not have anything. They just lie that they do but would not go into details because it will be immediately obvious that they are lying. 

     

    May be the reason there is no pics and vids of these teachers is because photographs steal their  souls. OR. They look dishonest and inept in those. Imagine learning from someone whose face is his worst enemy.


  5.  

     

    Liaokong was a recipient and transmitter of Wu-Liu teachings.

     

     

    Apparently you do not know that the modern wu-liuers disown him something fierce, totally denying that he got full transmission, let alone put it into a book. As per usual they dont like the competition. 


  6.  but the "heavenly circle" of qigong  leads to depletion of the Yuan-jing, leads to death.

     

     

    Thats why the millions of qigong practitioners globally are dead by now from their qigong. Oh wait, they are not. It is just a desperately negative advertising. The qigong-ers are fine.

  7. No, most people cant.

     Joe, who isnt knowledgable in the trade, falls victim because the guys seem to get things done. And Joe gets gassed up by his equally ignorant neighbor   

    Leaving neidan and qigong aside for a moment, you posit that most people are dupes who will jump at a chance to buy the Brooklyn Bridge. May be on a different planet there are.

     

    As to this world, Joe and his neighbor came to be homeowners by a dint of being astute , hard-working professionals who will see anyone who wants to separate them from their hard-earned money a mile away. 

     

    On the other hand a fool and his money are soon parted, also fools don't have any money to start with. By definition, fools constitute a tiny minority of the human race. The scammers pray on that tiny minority, not on the most people.

     

    As to how to tell a fake school from the real deal, this is educational:

     


  8. That's true, you can learn it on your own from books and/or from like-minded friends, then once you've got 幻丹 you'll be confident enough to begin to believe that you can enlight blind people on internet forums and lead them on the true path to an awakening to illusion.

     

    Dear YYYY,

     

    thank you for your kind contribution to this thread. Could you please kindly elaborate on 3 simple questions:

     

    1. What is the illusory elixir 幻丹?

    2. What is the true elixir?

    3. Have you created the true elixir yourself?

     

     

    Thank you so much in advance.

  9. The method described in Huimingjing is a correct one, might lead to results as described,  

     

     

     

    See? How hard was that?

     

    These people used to constantly, adamantly and falsely claim that there is absolutely, positively no practical method in the books.

     

    Today  they flipped like a flop.

     

    Its a Xmas miracle ladies and gents!

  10. If anyone can translate for this friend, I will be thankful.

    Dont mention it)

     

    If you practice vipasana, you should know Buddha.

     

    Buddha talk about 五蘊,色受想行識 (five skandhas /sensory perceptions/, the sensual perception triggers thinking)

     

    In (leng)(yán)(jīng) Śūraṃgama-sūtra and 大般若經 Mahāprajñāpāramitā Sūtra Buddha talk many things about Ying.

     

    I don't know what kind of vipasana you learn.

     

    But I am sure the teacher didn't tell you the right way.

     

    Maybe he just teach the breathing and how to put your mind.

     

    But what is dharma should be more important than vipasana.

     

    In 四念處 satipaṭṭhānaBuddha said 觀身不淨,觀受是苦,觀心無常,觀法無我。(See that the body is impure, the perception is suffering, the heart is impermanent, the dharma is self-less).

     

    So vipasana should not only have 觀身和受 (observing body and feelings).

     

    Observing mind is the next step.

     

    But what is the right way to observe mind?

     

    Buddha said 色受想行識 (the sensual perception triggers thinking)

     

    What is 行蘊 saṃskāra is the key point.

     

    行蘊 saṃskāra is the illusion what we can see in meditation.

     

    It looks like dreams.

     

    If we don't relax enough, how can we go into these day-dream illusions?

     

    This state is not always day dreams.

     

    It is the same with 混沌恍惚渺冥 vague and imperceptible  in daoist.

  11. no, it's just you who cannot read and know nothing about Neidan close door teaching. 

    The method of Wu-Liu Pai is not in the books.

     

    Here is what Liu Huayang, the founder of Wuliu says:

     

    今以浅率之言,将佛宝流传,和盘托出,俾世之学者,睹此慧命经,即若亲口相传,只须励志精勤,不必他山求助,则佛果可以立证

     Now, by means of simple, straightforward language, I will pass on the Treasure of the Buddha, offering it as if on a tray to enable followers in the world . As you examine the Huiming Jing it is indeed the same as if I were telling it to you with my own mouth. It is only necessary to rouse your will and dedicate all your energy—you need not go to some other mountain to seek further help—and you will be able to establish and manifest the Buddha Fruit.../Nicholson/

     

     

    So who is lying here out of these two? The Wuliu salesman or the Wuliu founder?
