Winter Posted 20 hours ago I'm not certain what exactly brought me here. I grew up Christian, turned away, found esoterica, and then found the Tao De Ching. It blew me away, and ever since, I've felt like there has been a pit in my chest when not pursuing it. I'm here searching for resources to deepen my understanding on a fundamental level and meet some like-minded people. All the way from New Zealand 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZiDuDuRen Posted 13 hours ago Hey there. New Zealand here as well. I can't recommend the teachings of Yuan Tze (and Ren Xue) highly enough. He's based in N.Z and I believe he is likely one of the best teachers alive today. Check out the Ren Xue TV channel on youtube, there are some great little documentaries on there. https://www.youtube.com/@RenXueTV https://www.renxueinternational.org/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
