Hi everybody,

I registered recently to become part of that fascinating bunch of people here.

I would like to share a bit of my own experiences as from a Daoseekers life and be grateful to all the real worthy contributions of the members here.

Even though I found quite some awful offenses by words....

I myself studied Sinology and Religions, being fluent in Chinese, wrote my thesis about the Daoist religious Geography at Laoshan in Shandong.
My Chinese Dao friends call me a "sujia Dizi", which means "homestay disciple" in contrast to the "chujia", which "leave homes" - the monks of Daoism.

I traveled extensively all throughout China and most of the sacred places of Daoism. My daily work is directly linked to China, and I have the chance to be there 6 or seven times a year - even though mostly for stressing work in Shanghai.

I try to not loose my way of practice and stay connected to the original lineage tradition (of Quanzhen Daoism) by going to quanzhen monasteries as often as I can to keep aspration high and motivation stable.

Hope to share many insights and worthy informations with you all.

I am at the edge of getting old, but look young - I don't know whether my bit of practice is to praise or my ancestors' genes...
