“One cannot avoid life by hiding in the mountains, because life
exists there as well. But one can avoid the disturbance of the external
world by remaining centered and calm like a mountain.”

(by Hua-Ching Ni)

Sexual energy is the reason a human is born,

Lack of sexual energy is the reason a human dies.

Within this sexual energy is the secret not only of health

but of immortality as well.

In men the secret lies in conservation and retention of sexual energy.

In women the secret lies in its development and activity.

Lao Tzu himself states,

“The mysterious female is inexhaustible. How the

Yellow Emperor achieved immortality and how

Western Royal Mother achieved immortality

cannot be compared. Each has its own path,

each seeks the other’s essence to become complete.”

If you want to nourish a bird,you should let it live any way it chooses. Creatures differ because they have different likes and dislikes. Therefore the sages never require the same ability from all creatures. . . concepts of right should be founded on what is suitable. The true saint leaves wisdom to the ants, takes a cue from the fishes, and leaves willfulness to the sheep.

(Chuang Tzu)

A human being is part of the whole called by us universe ... We experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from the prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. The true value of a human being is determined by the measure and the sense in which they have obtained liberation from the self.We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if humanity is to survive.

(Albert Einstein)

In ordinary life, we are not aware of the unity of all things, but divide the world into separate objects and events.This division is useful and necessary to cope with our everyday environment, but it is not a fundamental feature of reality. It is an abstraction devised by our discriminating and categorising intellect. To believe that our abstract concepts of separate ‘things’ and ‘events’ are realities of nature is an illusion.
