  1. When a child wants to pick a flower from the lawn saying "it is just one flower, there are a lot of flowers there, nothing would change", his mother says him: "What do you think the lawn would look like if everyone thinks like you picking "just one flower"?"

     

    So if Taoist Texts can post such offensive images - then everyone can. Imagine what the forum would look like in this case. His behavior simply provokes others to do the same. Isn't it what trolling is about?

     

    I vote for everyone to obey the same rules and for moderators to help us all refrain from anything that would be offensive to another person.


  2. Few my friends who have practiced MCO have had a bad results. I've even heard about few students got mentally ill after doing that practice. But probably it is individual.

     

    I think if everything happens naturally then it is ok - I mean not moving qi with your thought but some route opens naturally.

     

    Funny thing - right below in "linked messages" section: Help! Lost My Desire to Socialize after doing Mantak Chia's Microcosmic Orbit. What do I do now?


  3. Here is a google search:

    It might be a shocker for some of you, but hearts isn't really located on the left side of your chest. It lies between the right and left lungs, in the middle of the chest and slightly towards the left of the breastbone. The heart is enclosed in the pericardium which is a double layer.

    Cool. Thank you!

     

    It is exactly how I feel in practice.

    Ok so no point in continuing talking there. I will create my thread to be able o discuss the questions raised.

    Could you please restore my deleted posts and either copy them here or PM me? I haven't saved them on my PC.


  5. I have been to a conference before.

    I thought the professors there must know more than me.

     

    But it is not.

     

    They do not know anything, because they do not cultivate for a long time.

     

    They misunderstood a lot.

     

    They just know how to write many papers.

     

     

    So I went to qq in china.

     

    I thought they must know more than me.

     

    Maybe I can find a "true" teacher there.

     

    But it is not.

     

     

     

    So I went to mainland china to go to a daoist temple.

     

    To make friends with 道長.

     

    I do find some 道長 are really good.

     

    But ......

     

     

     

     

    Then I come here.

     

    So many rude people here who claim that they have a "true" teacher.

     

    What kind of teaching will make these people so rude?

     

    I do not know.

     

    I just do not want to talk to these people.

     

    Not to mention their "truuuuuue" teachers.

     

     

     

    But there is still one thing worth to be happy.

     

    Some good people wrote messages to me.

     

    I am very glad that I can make friends here.

     

    There are still many good cultivators here.

     

    awaken do you at least know who E.A.Torchinov is? And if you say he has mistaken in translations from ancient Chinese can you please point out his mistakes to us? 

     

    Please remember he was a PhD and Professor in Saint Petersburg State University.

     

    I am not saying he is a taoist teacher. But he is a greatest scientist - almost all Russian taoists have learnt his translations and respect him greatly. And his translations are a standard for every translator from ancient Chinese!

     

    Why do you trying say anything against him?


  6. Man, aren't you aware of Orientalism science? Evgeniy Torchinov was a PhD in Orientalism (specifically in Taoism) and a greatest Russian specialist in ancient Chinese.

     

    His researches are also well known in China, he has been several times invited to participate taoist conferences in China.

     

    Do you have orientalist education at least to judge?


  7. I'm not sure I got you well. Did you name PhD Evegniy Torchinov an amateur in Chinese? With all his works on ancient Chinese being accepted and approved by scientific community?

     

    In this case I can see no way for you to be right in translations anymore.


  8. Nice to know! In Ukraininan and Russian "heart" also represents emotions, feelings and so on, seems same to English and Chinese.

     

    When I calm down my heart in meditation I feel some kind of internal happiness. But i disappears soon after I finish the practice :(

  9. Hi everyone!

    So now I'm here :)

     

    I'm from Ukraine (yet forced to leave home :( ). So far I've practiced a number of methods in dao schools in Ukraine and the results were not bad but nothing special. I'm seeking for new dao friends all over the world. I believe we can help each other in Dao!

     

    Thank you.
