Queequeg

Thank you very much, I don't usually like online documents because I like to get away from my computer and the waY I do that is by reading. In this instance its very handy though because I can drop words I don't know into google translate.

Can anybody recommend me a translation that resembles the following format;

Hanzi

Pinyin

English

The English being a more literal transinterpretation.

No commentry is necessary but would be nice.

I want a fomatt like this because I am learning Mandarin and want to apply my pinyin reading skills to gaining a less language dependant insight into the DDJ.

Just reading Opening the Dragon Gate about WLP.

It specifically mentions his living conditions and what he does (or did) with the money from teaching.

I guess if all the stuff written in that book is true then yes, we're looking at a very high-level master and some serious lineage.

I couldn't finish that book personally, found it too unbelievable/was not convinced, but then again I am a massive skeptic.

got any awesome tattoos?

That's where the similarity between Avatar or poster ends

argh that it be!

Namaste fellow Dao Bums,

I am new to the forum so here is my customary first post. I am not new discussion forums or Daoism however and regularly post at the Tea House under the same user name. I suspect you have a few other Tea House posters also lurking somewhere around here

In the real world I live in the UK and am a 30 year old male, microbiologist by vocation, jack of all trades by profession.

Hopefully I'll enjoy my time here, I can't say how much I will be able to commit to the community discussion but I'm sure I'll have plenty to read and learn if even if I have get little time to contribute.

Be well
