JMJM,
Who is your teacher? Sorry, I forget the name, Donald.
I agree that our practice must be largely physical to be authentic.
Others who only read from books, or claim to "figure-things-out", are just
barking at a false Moon; their baying is shrill, inhuman, and ill. Thanks for
emphasizing the better -- and only -- way.
Of course, Chi need not be worked on consciously or intentionally. It comes
along for the ride, as, how could it not? It is the reverse side of the
tapestry: it need *not* be both sides! In fact, I would caution against making
it both sides: that is Taoism, instead and not Buddhadharma. There's nothing
to hold on to: not even Chi, in our Way.
By "our", I do not mean possessively: I mean to share this, and all its fruits.
I mean, we already do. So I say "our". Others may like to "opt out" of this,
and act-out somewhere else. Let's let them go!
Thanks, posting,
--Joe
