Hello to all dao-bums..

Recommended Posts

Hello, I am excited to finally join this forum after reading various posts from internet searches over the last few years. I am here to explore and share experiences with meditation and beyond. Currently I am reading a translation of the Cantong Qi by Fabrizio Pregadio. I started my training in the way about 12 years ago when I discovered the book Taoist Yoga by Lu K’uan Yu, which went over my head completely but inspired me and intrigued me no less.  Since then I’ve reread that book at least 50 times and continue to be inspired by the clarity of Taoist teachings. I also appreciate reading different translations of the Tao Te Ching, my favorite translations include Henricks (Mawangtui based) and Red Pine’s translation for its commentary. When I discovered Taoist meditation, I was already familiar with different forms of yoga (such as Astanga and Kriya) . I consider all of these age old arts to be cultural treasures which are quite relevant in the 21st century, for example the the lines of the taoteching discussing government and the way the Ancients governed in the golden age. Anyway, I look forward to joining the discussion. 

 

Cheers,
