I don’t think anyone lives in Scottsdale on here but me Dennis but thanks for putting this up. I got your breathing course years ago and would be interested. So is this Sunday Feb 5th? This is an ongoing group or just one night?

Thanks Michael,

I actually appreciate this sort off feedback. I feel spoiled in a way to to be 30 years old and be able to get this wisdom from one guy who has spent 30 years doing Taoist Alchemy, another Zen(Adyashanti is not Hinduism but Zen and Advaita Vendanta) and Native American spirituality.

It did seem like a pretty generalized…[Read more]

There is no dischotomy in my mind. I found out about qigong through zen! This dichotomy doesn’t actually exist. Though some ‘more advanced’ people disagree.

From one persepctive, Adyashanti says don’t control the process. The very act of you trying to control it brings up the ego mind which doesn’t have what it takes to get to awakening. It is…[Read more]

More reason for Max to answer my questions Paisan!

Or whatever no big deal.

I have some understanding of this. The Nan school says essentialy that you do not know better than your own body what to do. The idea is to let go of the mind and it’s contant grasping( Nan uses the term don’t dwell though I like the term stop grasping better) This causes the jing to qi to shen to Tao to Wu stages to happen naturally on there…[Read more]

ps. I no Max may(or may not) think of buddhas teaching when I say this of the guy who got shot with an arrow and buddha or someone was trying to save him by taking it out and the guy keeps asking “What kind of arrow is it? Where did it come from? How deep is it in?” And buddha says “this man will die before being saved by asking too many question”…[Read more]

I agree. Max’s treatment of merit explanation is do good deeds or never get enlightened. No real value in saying something if we can’t have an understanding of how or why it works IMO.

I like Max, I hung out with him in person eyars and think he is a good guy. Just wanted a little more feedback in the merit teaching he keeps saying is the core…[Read more]

I was calling someone at work about a year ago and the phone picked up the lady answered “Senator John McCanes office” .I politely told her I had dialed the wrong number and took a minute to ponder that .Out of all the possible numbers in Az I called the number of the guy who could have been the rep canditate 6 years ago or whenever over Bush and…[Read more]

Just seems to me a true Bodhisattva would want to help others out of wanting to ease others suffering. Not out of some goal to accumulate merit.

I was listening to my Thich Nhat Han CD’s tonight and really got the impression he is here to help others. He talked about how the Kuan Yin statues in China or pictures with dozens or hundreds of…[Read more]

Just to be clear. I think charities are awesome and help people when possible but just trying to detuct whether it is really the path to be thinking of helping people in order to create merit or help people because it is good to help people!

I guess it is a mute point since it’s obviously not a bad thing if you get some spiritual rewards for…[Read more]

Guys,

I appreciate the feedback but am going to stick with my Sports Surgeon. I already had the exact same surgery over 10 years ago on my other knee and have had no negative side effects at all.

Plus, with holidays, work, scool, going to Atlanta for Christmas. It’s not the time to be flying off to China to see some expert Plato…[Read more]

Chinese Tonic herbs are excellent for this. I suggest going to Dragonherbs.com and getting 3 months worth of the Treasure pak system. Just follow the direction and take these formulas and tea for 3 months(“100 days”).

After that, you will have alot more energy and probably fell much better. If you add some Tan tien breathing practice to that…[Read more]
