It may help you with the idea that empty mind is not the only way up the mountain.

Empty mind is a first step to see there is no mountain. When even the idea of “empty mind” is gone, you will be on the right track. Until then, we are just playing semantics. But we both like these spiritualized games, don’t we?

I can see that my game is not…[Read more]

Yes, Michael, you are right in what you are saying.

I’m also aware that a lot of practitioners have wet dreams or are addicted to masturbation. Resting their mind on dantian will only aggravate their problems. And so, one should be causious of the effects of this kind of concentration and be aware where the problem may araise from, if it…[Read more]

For the most part, a great article. I would like to comment on one passage.

…To be fair, it should also be pointed out that there are some teachers of the Taoist arts who warn that the mental manipulation of internal energies, channels, etc. is a dead-end. Their emphasis, beyond embodying desired attributes of virtue and morality, is to…[Read more]

The method you just described goes straight for the heart of what the meditation is all about. Those who can’t quiet their mind reserve to practicing visualization techniques with hope that one day their mind will rest in stillness. It will definetely happen if the seeker is sencere and willing to let go. Non-attachment and non-clinging are very…[Read more]

Yeah, I was on all raw diet including raw beef, fish, eggs, and even chicken, for about 2 years. Good stuff. I don’t know why I’m off it now. I may go back to it in the future, but it’s too much trouble with getting high quality food all the time.
