Feng shui kills dragons.
Hello, everyone, I am a founding member of Daoxuan Salon, 10 1, the old turtle dove in Indiana.
Yes, it's me again, the "unemployed" is doing things again ~
The fuse of this matter is that Mr. Dao Xuan said a word this morning-"I decided to start giving up using the name' Dao Xuan' ..."
Whether this sentence can be read or not, as a founding member, I personally understand that he is expressing that the salon should be "de-channelized". Of course, it is also possible that he wants to change his personal "word" and change Feng Shui ~
It's like "it's going to rain and mom is getting married". If something is doomed, you can't stop it. If not, it is "like a river flowing eastward" ...
Roast goose, this sentence is like a fuse. Once lit, no one knows whether the other end of the line is a TNT-class destructive bomb or a dumb "kick kick" caught in the rain.
My first reaction at that time was, whose is the "Daoxuan Salon"?
If you preach and you want to preach, go ahead.
Otherwise, if you say "Daoxuan", can you go?
Seven years, say short not short, say long not long, what can a "Tao Xuan" toss out?
It is precisely because there are such a group of people who guard people with the same values and personally participate in it, so that "Daoxuan Salon" has been frequently exposed to the world in the past seven years, stunning the bleak urban life and firmly relaying and igniting "this different fireworks".
I have seen an old parliamentarian say with my own eyes-"Because I have feelings for Daoxuan Shao Long".
Which of these friends who are full of "emotions" about Daoxuan Salon is not looking forward to seeing the wheat field in his/her heart?
Many people say that this is a "Dojo" and they are willing to walk in because of their peace of mind.
But in the real "Dojo", those born monks also have basic survival needs, otherwise, how can those old laymen and old wizards who find a home in the temple Taoist temple settle down?
Therefore, Master has always said that "Buddhism is in the world and cannot be separated from the world"!
So,
All this,
It will depend on the "on-site participants" and "online participants" of this salon-color, acceptance, thinking, behavior and knowledge.
As the founding members of the Daoxuan Salon, we have participated in it, whether we initiated the Salon, participated in the Salon, privately or publicly evaluated the people or things in the Salon, and even occasionally talked privately with the "elder" Five Elder Brothers. ...
We all have the right to express and be silent.
This time, if you want to express it, let's put those old vinegar on the table together. Since it is sour, let's get through the "taste" and sterilize it together to get rid of the "musty smell" that will soon be covered with moss.
What is the "grudges" between good and bad, and what is "don't forget your active attitude, so as to achieve your ultimate goal"? If you have expectations but don't want to speak and guard, maybe everything really has nothing to do with you. ...
There are always people who like to joke and say that there is a strong "Taoist and metaphysical" color here. However, when we felt our initial heart, we came here for the first time, and then we continued to come here, but we were unwilling to leave when we got on the "thief boat". Why?
I have always believed that human society is driven by "bad guys", because the old "good guys" have always done more harm than good, and this "bad" needs courage and is born to keep those greater beings!
I have seen many such "bad" people in the founding member clubs.
After all, human progress will not change or stagnate because of a person's needs. There is always a force to promote the continuation of life in all things.
For ordinary people, we choose to live in fixed places in towns and villages, and perhaps only at a certain time can we find a reason to settle down.
For the founding members all over the world, they chose to join the Daoxuan Salon, and perhaps only at a certain moment did they find inner peace. Where do they have to consider external indicators such as temperature, humidity and oxygen content?
As a community, has the "Daoxuan Salon" really changed?
Is its public welfare concept of "born to awaken the vitality of the city" still being practiced?
If so, who is involved and constantly guarding?
As the founding member club of Daoxuan Salon, members paid their dues and contributed resources and wisdom. Is this the embodiment of Tao or the application of Shu? As a member, what did you approve when you joined?
Finally, as a member, what have we gained from it, what have we lost, and what do you expect from it?
If the commercialization of "Daoxuan Salon" makes many members convey "Daoxuan Salon, you have changed, you don't love me, where did your original romantic feelings go?" So, what kind of boundary is commercialization for every member? If it is not commercialized, will anyone really be willing to take enough time to maintain the normal operation of the salon while dealing with their own business?
As a new member who knew some old members before joining the club, I am curious about the thoughts of Mr. Daoxuan (or Mr. Paul Hu who took off his name) and the voices of friends who have followed Daoxuan Salon for many years but have not left-what do you expect? What should Daoxuan Salon look like in your eyes? Is it possible that Daoxuan Salon is an entity with the same underlying values shared by people of different ages, classes, cities, skin colors, cultures and even more dimensions?
Joining, not joining, leaving and not leaving all prove that everyone here has the right to think and choose independently.
Even the comments on the table, the ridicule under the table, and those self-righteous smart judgments may not win the blow of the facts.
If you love, please be kind, if you don't love, please be merciful.
