Hope you enjoy the time off and have a perfect picnic. BTW, about one of your reading subjects, 山人壺雲禪師述, it is an article? or "山人壺雲禪師述 劉一明 道書十二種" is a book? I searched with Google, but only found a copy of 山人壺雲禪師述 in Korean, https://plus.google.com/+Iamtalker/posts/F9Ep4g7eV5o Do you have a copy of 山人壺雲禪師述 in Chinese? Thank you.

Excellent points. These are things that I have to make them very clear before I start to learn or practice any "Pai"/"School"/"Xian"/"Zen"/...

Thanks for sharing the URL. It looks like that I came across it a year ago. 英国人建的千峰派网站？

Here is my translation of the two sentences: Even at the time in year 1980-90, during 20+ years of the great Qigong tide in China, I never heard of anyone claimed that she/he was or has been practicing the so called Wu-Liu pai, or an official member of Wu-Liu pai. In current time (after year 2000), a few schools claimed that Wu or Liu or both are grand masters or great grand masters of their schools, but no schools agreed or conformed that their schools are Wu-Liu pai, or part of Wu-Liu pai.

Fa Xin, Marblehead, and dosa, Thanks for replying to my first post. I'm a native speaker of mandarin but my English is not as good as my Chinese. I need time to read some threads and to know something about the forum. Thank you for your kindness and warm welcome.
