Summer is here. Our life up at the farm house up in the mountain is blossoming. Little kitty, chicks, gooses, squirrel running around, our classes in kungfu, philosophy, and meditation continues. We also made a trip to visit the mountain, and start doing caligraphy on Daodejing and Qingjingjing. Life is hot! but everyone is enjoying it!

The summer practitioners!
It’s well pass mid-spring here in Wudang Mountain. All is well, animals and plants are all out, our practice continues. And tutu got a new outfit for photos!
Snow is melting, yang energy is rising. Animals and plants are reemerging from the winter sleep. We could hear and feel them all around us, celebrating another year of life and growth.

First Snow in Winter 2011. It’s cold, but very quite and peaceful here. Time to lay low, preserve the yang energy, and prepare for another year of challenges and growth. – 4 season regimen
Besides being a master martial artist, Zhang San Feng is also a master in Daoist Internal Alchemy. In his treaty “Speaking of the Dao in plain words”, Zhang San Feng provides a brief yet clear overview of the pathway of Dao cultivation via meditation and Internal Alchemy.
He discusses the general outline of different stages of Daoist cultivation, structure of the human essence-energy-spirit system, important explanation on key concepts such as truth, nature, spirit, mind, foundation practices in breathing and meditation, and barriers and useful attitudes to facilitate the practice.
As the master said, practice proceeded blindly leads one to go nowhere (section 16). This article therefore helps practitioner to focus their efforts on the core and direct pathway towards the Dao.
