Re: Chinese Spirituality - Xamchen
Of course no one in this thread (yet) has seemed to be ignorantly looking for thrills, but I have known of too many people who become unbalanced and unwell seeking out the mysterious, and becoming incompetent at the simple task of living a good life.

With sustained practice of a traditional physical/ philosophical discipline, then the other realisations unfold naturally, and are not at all mysterious, they simply 'are'. Present as part of more fully living and experiencing one's practice -- no more and no less.

Discipline and modertion, plus applying oneself to live with responsibility and compassion are all that are necessary.

At worst you just live a good life and harm none. At best, you live with calm vigor and wellbeing for all of your days in this flesh.

Yes we've had a good run so far.
Seeking a thing is always an act of the ego.
And yet we still have to act - therein lies one of the great conundrums.
I sometimes wonder if what we know of as "desire" in Buddhism has more of a meaning of "seeking" in the original.

hf OP, where have you gone?
