Word! This Master is Telling it like it is through a thick accent. Don't let that fool you, his advice is like a sweet nectar for the wise. Resisting the worldly temptations and looking 'with in'' is found in ALL the great wisdom traditions. He's done a great job of decoding the practice and cultivation of Virtue. I love how Daoists keep it simple and explain it in terms of body energy. Thank you Yun Xiang Tseng Shi Fu.
Thank you...all common sense and actions I live by. I am a follower of the Buddhist way and I'm beginning to adopt the Taoist beliefs as well. I am grateful to have been guided to viewing this video and to share it with others. Blessings,
I am coming home. I was just thinking this morning how I have always been different from most people. Even my children don't get me, and I get much anger from them aimed at me because they believe everything negative that happens to them is my fault. No one wants to take responsibility for the actions that they do. I have been feeling very alone for a while now, no friends, because I don't think like the main stream person, no family, they either don't get me, or they are dead. But I found this channel this morning and realized that I need to come back home to me. I am my own love piece and harmony, always have been, I just forgot for a little while. Thank you for guiding me here, and come back to my Tao. You helped me remember. Thanks so much. I have subscribed.
Tao to me is common sense. They should teach about energy in kindergarten and maybe people wouldn't be so miserable after knowing they cause it to themselves. Maybe if they knew their path depends only on the way they handle their own life force, they would allow themselves to be happy, and not spend their life finding excuses for why they aren't.
📌 Yes 🙌 great video, but I don’t know if someone actually needs to hear this, you've got to stop saving all your money. Venture into investing some, if you really want financial stability.
@@Joseph-rx1do Lately I've been thinking of buying cryptocurrency or stocks for retirement, I've set asides $350k to invest but along the line, I usually get cold feet, maybe because I have no idea what I'm doing, please I could really use some guidelines.
Greetings, I am so glad I found your channel, I have been looking for tutorials like this, this kind of wisdom is needed in a world like this, your exercises and techniques of teaching is awesome, the exercises has helped me tremendously, please continue to share, thank you, Peace and blessings!
My favorite joke about Nature is in the first lines of the Tao Te Ching, where it says (roughly my translation after years of laughing with it,) "The Tao that can be spoken of is not the true/actual/real Tao" :D And then the rest of the book talks about the Tao. And we talk about it, with great passion and need! haha ahhh. Best truth-joke! I think I'll read Tao De Jing again.
Self trying to master the self is Duality. Letting the right hand knowing what the left hand is doing (or trying to play chess or checkers against yourself). It's OK to try, though. After you become exasperated and give up, you might come to the total realization.
I have been on a journey all my life in this western world working with my native trdidtions as well as using tao has been help I g put my life back in perspective and be more of a postive force in my world and people's lives
Good shit. I respect this guy. What he lacks is the ability to influence, convince, and or inspire those who don’t understand much about taoism. It would help him reach more people if he could learn the Tao of articulation and inspiration because as much as I love and agree with him, he doesn’t inspire me and he would never have even been able to reach the old skeptical me :/
How on earth are ancient chinese traditions new age exactly? You just sound like another dumb little western pseudo intellectual whom wants things like taoism and buddhism to be applicable to your physicalist metaphysics, thinking you can incorporate these high commitment lifestyle choices into your take it and leave it 'intellectual' repertoire of no doubt party drugs and I'd most likely predict taking nietszche well out of context, your user name says it all.
It is odd, funny, Doaism, is something simple, this makes it hard to explain it without making it seem more complicated than it is. Reading the Tao the Ching is an eye opener, and in reading it, the philosophy, the meaning, transmits to you... it really is like a collection of easy to grasp observations(some maybe less easy), looking at how things and actions relate to each other. You could read a page a day, and get a lot from it for your life.. it's almost like one of those little books that has quotes on peace, just with all the quotes joined up and [art f the whole. This wisdom (which is not just in Daoism) , ancient or otherwise, so often feels modern, maybe timeless would be a better term, and so often it resonates with you like something you already knew, but forgot. Well, I find that myself anyway. I think this man does a good job, but maybe it is easier to get what he is saying, if you already have a bit of an understanding. If approached from a confrontational, anti religious, dogmatic perspective... what one gets from it, will be dictated by that, not what is actually being said. Of course, our own dogmatic thinking and perspectives, can do that with all we see in life.. to reference another philosophy "as you see the world, so it is". My advice, read the book, tao te ching, it is an easy, enjoyable and very comforting read... I would say everyone who wants to, will get something from it. .. to say the least.
governance seems to be a popular theme for lao tzu and confucius. i think its perhaps used more as a poetic method for the governance of ourselves, but i'm sure it could also apply to politics.
Ive heard that Taoists worship the "three pure ones", but as far as I can tell the mention of the worship of gods is not mentioned in the zhaungzi or tao te ching.
Learning a lot from these videos, but I have a question. Is there any principle in Taoism similar to the 'Five Ranks' of Chan Buddhism??? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Ranks Thank you!
What do we do when we feel anger or even rage? I’ve always kept my childish mind through life, I feel it conflicts with American society. Americans push people to remove the childish mind and become adult. You lose the magic of life when you do this. I feel myself sometimes living a contradictory life where on one hand I’m always serene but on the other side I am overwhelmed by the American consumerism and feel the negative emotions of competition to have more. I don’t like it. Do I just let the anger flow through? When I’m angry, it’s always fleeting, it’s others that tell me I should be angry. It’s not from me, but the energy of others and their belief that I should hold on to disappointment. What do we do when we feel the jealousy of others? It’s not that I personally want expensive things, big house, etc. it’s the pressure from the society I live in. How can I disconnect from this toxic cycle?
I dont know how to do what you suggest. To bring my spirit inside and look inside. I came from Christianity and now I need to let go of it all. It's hard to let go when I was brainwashed by it for so many years of my life.
meditate,sit and practice simply being aware,when your brain becomes aware of a thought simply let it go and only focus on awareness.dont be aware of any one thing,only see that which is aware.take control over your mind instead of the mind controlling you
No worries. You don't need to abandon everything you know. Jesus was, in my opinion, a follower of "The Way." (Tao) There are some books out there that compare his teachings with Lao Tzu's, and much of it is the same! You might be interested in the organization of Red Letter Christians, or reading the gnostic gospels. Check it out!
Cats4Ever thank you so much , you have confirmed my belief. I try to tell Christians this, but they don't understand, they always say I'm wrong. And I feel as if there close minded. Bc I believe God-The way can come to us from many different angles .
Hannah Yasharal Forget what you've been taught for right now. Your inner spirit will guide you to the truth. Follow his teachings and you will find they involve spirit, mind, energy and your matter in a constant dance with this universe.
Does master call himself a master? Does silent listening/observing require complex explanations? Does it need words to teach, when you can show example?
I love his sincerity! Such a clear explanation about a simple but very important concept.
Word! This Master is Telling it like it is through a thick accent. Don't let that fool you, his advice is like a sweet nectar for the wise.

He is very wise (and adorable!). Wouldn't you just love to sit and have a conversation with him for hours! He explained it all very well.

Your words nourish and assist in personal growth , it all makes sense and gives so much hope and inspiration . Thank you master , love and respect .

exactly
Damn spiritual real talk 101
The Tao is beautifully simple enough to teach to children, I agree it should be taught early in life.

Very important point- listen to your inner self, you inner nature. Don't fight it, it's an uphill battle. Rather accept it wholeheartedly.
Thank you for this wonderful presentation.
Take good care and stay safe.

So powerful and deepening true. Thanks you, Master. Bless you.

Great video, I'm restudying Taoism its the way to truly master self.

The guy is great. Long have I been searching for a Taoist info WITHOUT all the energy healing/holistic healing/magic/new age bullshit.
what are you on about? daoism has always been healing and holistic? seems like your fat off of your path

It's challenging but isn't as hard as it seems .

David Jackson thank you! May The Path BE with you also my Friend....
Thank you so much my friend
i like this guy!
So true, it is know as the Inner Light or Spirit.
Mindfulness of our breathing may be the 1st step to find our true nature.
Hence the phrase: 'Wise Men from the East.'
fantastic bee analogy
Good saying of Tao.
A good and interesting explanation!
Softness is a strength. One needn't be forceful to follow the Tao.

Keep it simple. Read Dao De Jing.
i have been searching for taoist preaching for far too long.
Let someone explore new information and new ways, it's what we were born to do. You can never learn too much :)
You have very good videos here :-)
Quoting from the Dao by Lao Tzu, this is the real deal, see deeper and don’t even claim to know anything, remain inwards.

How can I disconnect from this toxic cycle?
the virtues are insides us
efforts are not natural
to return to our true nature ir to return to your inside
the virtues will flow from there
perfect explanation
the stillness was allways there is never leaves
Enter the flow let the flow enter you
Yes, I have read it... several times. I have a copy of D.C. Lau's translation by Penguin Publishing. It just struck me as a very political book.
I constantly need to learn, compete, one up, prove, be Darwinian = Stress... sometimes it's overwhelming.
Yin and Yang ? I'm a nice person. I don't even step on bugs any more.
be here now do no harm help others be still close eyes listen to your breathng. tao te ching 16.

nice
I thought daoism is more of a philosophy.......
Hai Do Philosphy or religion. it should not matter. your inner spirit should tell you how life should proceed.
Hai Do there is religious daoism, most of history of daoism is more religious in nature.
You're right. Trying to explain it is like trying to bite your own teeth or taste your own tongue.
Hummingbird at 525!
That's true also.
When i make new friends i want to see the tao in them what do i do?
Smile and just do it.
Nothing, that is expectation of something you have no control off. Live and let live
True wisdom is Childish.
I'm a little Buddhist.
I do not see the Tao Te Ching as political but i guess it is how you interpret it :)
I want to be in a state of "Art" where things just happens... maybe even my death. It was the universe dancing
