    watch the movie Samsara, its about a monk who realizes that being celibate isn't the answer.. you have to experience samsara to truly understand it. but then a teaching comes to him "is it better to satisfy 1000 desires or conquer just one?" he was so enveloped in desire that it grew more and more, soon greed came upon him.. he even cheated on his wife. he becomes aware of this and truly realizes the meaning of the teachings through experience. that is why it is called the wheel of samsara, its a circle.. it never ends once you step inside of it. the desire is never quenched, the wheel never stops moving, the suffering never ends.

     

     

    Nothing is different...All is all that there is... there can be nothing outside of all that is. Taoism, Buddhism, Christianity, Shamanism, etc. are all within all that is.... just facets of the same gem.

     

    all things are mental

    all things exhibit correspondence... as above, so below

    all things vibrate

    all things exhibit polarity

    all things exhibit rhythm

    all things are subject to cause and effect

    all things exhibit gender

     

    We follow the path (facet) that resonates within us.

    MAssage school make bold claims, and Austin is pretty saturated with massagers. I think that Shiatsu, and tuina has more opportunities than just massage.

     

    Jampa, dunno about him. I know who he is through my research into the healing tao stuff, but thats it.

    Here is the other guy's page very powerful stuff: http://www.kaishan.org/

     

    Good luck

     

     

    Jampa was/is a student of Mantak Chia and currently running Healing Tao Institute in Austin. As a former student, I can only say that he is great teacher. I also was a student of Master Li... also a great teacher!!

    Priceless!!! :D

     

    My birth certificate from about the same era, was typed with a manual Royal typewriter as were almost all documents in the early 60's. The above document looks like it is a product of a digital printer. That being said, I find it hard to believe that Mr Obama would have gotten this far if he did not meet the qualifications for president of the US.

     

    Actually, he is a secret Taoist.
