    Temples accepting westerners?

    Yes and some rather famous ones at that. I forgot the name but one in Henan does.

    Taoism and war?

    I'm unsure. It likely depends on the Taoist. Some have likely fought on both sides of such things. Sun Tzu was a general by the way; the author of the book of 5 rings was a warrior tho. The think with wars and revolutions is, they often back fire. The ideals of the revolution are often lost in...

    Living as a taoist

    My advice to you, would be to, look for people around you, who move smootly, in the circles you do. Some basic principles? Not as easy to provide as one might think. - ask questions - experiment - Improvement takes time. - Do AND observe. Avoid over assuming. - Avoid saying too much...

    Without AK being owner, the IGI is actually less angry now. I think, he had a tough time. We seem however to have one or two posters who just get mad. They only actually get banned when they do something extreme such as publish their account password

    New Age Taoism

    any examples?

    The structure of the I-Ching (for zenzero and ben)

    Sunburned, every Taoist I've met seems to subscribe to the I-Ching or explicitly qualify their Taoist status by not subscribing. Its confusing though because many of them don't make the distinction between "Confusian" and Taoist. Taoists still, apparently subscribe some of the innovations of...

    The structure of the I-Ching (for zenzero and ben)

    The I-Ching doesn't really come with a calender though. ;) Its possible that somebody used the I-Ching and asked a proper question and decided from the I-Ching that somehow said date is a problem. The process of divination using the I-Ching is rather elaborate. The most ancient methods...

    New Age Taoism

    I didn't say you can;t reach the same states through other traditions but only that the idea of the tao doesn't translate to God. I firmly agree that one can achieve cultivation (personal spirtitual growth) through most if not all traditions including the new agey ones. :bow:

    New Age Taoism

    Agree. Nothing "new" in the Tao and I agree we should focus on the Tao itself, benefiting from our modern understanding of the world as well as from the footsteps of the Taoist masters. We stand in the shoulders of those who went before Disagree. We probably all experience it differently...

    New Age Taoism

    Zenzero, you can't equate Tao with Allah or God!!! The concepts are totally different. You might equate some of the cultivation that Muslims and Christians experience with Taoist cultivation. You can achieve "similar" results by taking different paths. I'm unaware of the nuances of the Brawmin...

    The structure of the I-Ching (for zenzero and ben)

    Take the opening post with a grain of salt. You may know far more than I. :bow: I am no expert on the I-Ching :bow: This is inspired by zenzero's post in my entropy/thermodynamics thread. It is a deeply respected book that is loved by many Taoists and used in divination. Basically, it has 64...

    thermodynamics and the Tao

    The moose takes a moment to honour one of the great Taoist scientists, Ge Hong, the builder a the uncarved rock temple in Hangzhou, China, aka known are the Bao Pu Temple. Hi Zen Zero Off topic response: (should spawn a thread on the tri-grams/hexgrams, I know a person who is very...

    A deist Wiccan says hello

    thermodynamics and the Tao

    Ben, when you play tennis with somebody, do you discuss the importance of eating, or do you just focus on the experience of playing tennis? By "playing tennis" here, you can experience the free flow of the Tao, in a possibly different way than by other things. ;) From discussing the way heat...
