Only a True Daoist Master Transmits the Genuine Teaching

(Translated by Adrian
Chan-Wyles PhD)
True and effective Daoist self-cultivation requires oral
instruction from a qualified master – usually an advanced practitioner who has
received lineage transmission. Such an
individual has already penetrated right to the heart of the matter, and does
not merely rely on instructions read in a book.
Instruction manuals are useful, but a qualified master can turn the dead
words into living words. A manual on its
own only conveys half the truth – which is only the ‘surface’ truth. A qualified master conveys the inherent truth
and does not get stuck in superficiality, pettiness, or pointless attachments. Many students who do not understand this
truth, get disheartened and move from one school to the next, forever repeating
their past mistakes and getting nowhere in their self-cultivation. What the Daoist manuals say is true – but there
is no guarantee that a student who does not have access to a qualified master,
will be able to convert the wisdom of the words in the book, into practical
attainment in the real world. Reading
the words is one thing, whilst realising the true significance of their meaning
is quite another. A blind practice will get you nowhere and be
counter-productive to your teaching. In
fact the wrong application of Daoist developmental techniques can cause more
harm than good – please heed this warning.
Study the books – yes – but seek out genuine instruction as well. There are many Daoist paths in the world
today, but the Quanzhen, Longmen, Qianfeng Xiantian Pai is renowned for its
effectiveness and is very popular as a result amongst the people. However, I would like to ask which schools
many of you have trained in before, and why you got no results?

道家真修就在师父一传耳
道家真功性命双修只在师父一传耳,看遍丹经道书只是了解其意,切不要照书忙修瞎练,书中词语是真,但是没有系统就看书而行,保你一事无成,反而受其所害。 如今打着道家全真、龙门、千峰先天派传承功夫的人很多,请问你们以前拜在哪位师父门下?
