LinLin Posted September 29, 2018 Hello - Greetings from the UK, where I do both Buddhist practice and have recently re-started qigong and taiji after a break. Looking forward to sharing ideas and experiences here. In terms of Buddhism, I align with Early Buddhist teachings, having arrived at that after years of being in traditions, first Mahayana and later Theravada. Now I like to study Pali and access teachings as directly as I can. Taiji and qigong i first studied in China years ago, informally yet seriously. It has been on and off practice for me, and I always feel better for having practiced. So it's time to restart. Thanks for reading, and see you in the forums! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LinLin Posted October 1, 2018 One meal a day isn’t a practice I’m following, but receiving food with gratitude certainly is. 🙏 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
