Interesting article about AI psychosis https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c24zdel5j18o

@dpumpernickel I’d like to compare the characters you use with the characters in the source file. E.g. there’s the character 恒 in a few places (e.g. line 2) in your ch. 1. It’s of interest as there was a taboo on the use of Emperor’s names during the Western Han. I find the Korean link hard to navigate. Ch.1 should be at the start of part 2, but it has a 第一章（王本三十八章）ch. 1 (Wang’s ch. 38). Searching for part 1 I cannot find it; ch. 1 for me impossible to find. Could you please copy and post here, only the source file of ch. 1 (from https://blog.naver.com/PostView.nhn?isHttpsRedirect=true&blogId=jaseng54&logNo=90169460338aka the Beijing University Laozi (Beida).

@BigSkyDiamond I sent you a pm

@dpumpernickel Impressive use of resources. I like your approach: “… cosmology … ancient Chinese perception. … each glyph’s image.” “I have not made most of the substitutions … stuck with mostly original …” “ … bias in foreword and key …” From the first link I gather you are a Korean speaker? The Proton Drive link is not accessible to me. Could you possibly copy just your translation of only one chapter and post it here? Imo chapter 1 is the most difficult one to translate, so I’d very much like to see that.

Hi WhyQQ. Welcome to the forum.

“to be empty of all created things is to be full of God, and to be full of created things is to be empty of God”. Meister Eckhart (RC priest, c. 13th century A.D.)

I actually do think that could be the whole message. But could you really be an itinerant mendicant monk? .

Hi Giacomond. Welcome to the forum. I am sorry for your loss. I too am interested in “rebirth in Dao-ism“. What are your findings? A “compact way to study Daoism/Taoism”, ah if only I knew. Still, here’s my advise: never waste your time on commentaries.

To do from this to this

Indeed. I see it in all systems/religions. And my.DDJ ch. 1, warns about precisely this. Great post Mark, thanks.

The Chinese Origins of the Heart Sutra? Scholars now question that The Chinese Heart Sutra was all a translation of an Indian Sanskrit text. https://www.academia.edu/69865489/Preliminary_Notes_on_the_Extended_Heart_Sutra_in_Chinese . One examination of the ‘core section’, concluded it was composed in Chinese and ‘back-translated’ into Sanskrit. https://poj.peeters-leuven.be/content.php?id=3290289&url=article#:~:text=Jan Nattier examined about half,method to the Heart Sutra. .

Reminds me of DDJ ch. 12.

Nice one, yes, "cacodemon" κακός (evil) + δαίμων (demon)

Deep respect to you for volunteering. However this can be very heavy. If it gets too much, do allow yourself to stop.

I never click on solitary links.

It’s not you, I am having the same problem.

Hi. Welcome to the fourm. This is a great place to "hang out with people".

Hi jeffrey. Welcome to the forum. No worries, nothing can obstruct the Dao. Keep on practicing, and once you are one with the Dao the answers will appear.
