  1. Abbot of Shaolin Temple Arrested

    Remember Buddha Boy? An update about him: Ram Bahadur Bomjon Please refer to the "Legal issues" section.
  2. Refer to my first post. Wish the OP good luck though.
  3. Sorry deleted due to the OP not showing what is deemed as "correct etiquette." 1. Many people devote their entire lives to heal and charge money accordingly. You pay for your services and you get help. 2. As above, there are also others who have little clue of healing and they still charge. Let's hope one doesn't seek help from this category because you'll never heal yourself. 3. In Asian countries that I'm familiar with, China and Taiwan, there are some highly experienced practitioners that not only don't charge but also don't even bother to help those who experience energetic trouble. They just remain anonymous and good luck finding them unless you have a letter of recommendation as well as knowing who they are in the first place. You can offer them a million bucks and they won't even bother. It's what is called the clock More about that here: Master-student relationship
  4. The year of the Horse

    Here's my pick:
  5. Enlightened movies

    Here's a list: (My favourite movie ever! Especially the rooftop scene) 2001: A Space Odyssey Wings of Desire Jeremiah Johnson
  6. You are wasting your time with "fairy tales." Those who follow this path are bound by their egos, and the "ego" is one of the biggest hurdles of this path. The key to successful practice is to loosen up the entire body, then you'll access EVERYTHING contained within yourself. Ba Gua Zhang plus foundation work (grounding exercises) did it for me. Expect a lot of hard, consistent and disciplined work though. Finally, you'll need to find a competent real life teacher, not books and online courses. You won't go far if you don't. Good luck.
  7. Well, another animal about to go and a totally different one is arriving on February 10. Every year around the 4th of February when the annual Feng Shui energy is changing; the bells of the New Chinese Year are not far away. Not only do the annual 9 Flying Star change, but also the three gods (cosmic energy constellations) move to different compass directions influencing our lives. I'll write a full report soon with some predictions.
  8. 2024 - Year of the Green Dragon

    Thanks for deleting the messages. No idea why that user was hijacking this thread with that post. Anyway, keep enjoying (or enduring) the Year of the Wood Snake.
