Is Tai Chi Spiritual?
According to Andy Dale, “SPIRITUAL WORK” This is very individual, but we still have a tendency to look for someone else to explain or make us spiritual. Or follow someone we see as spiritual, trying to rest on their shelf instead of finding our own spiritualness. Sometimes storing up things as special objects, statues, emblems making them more important or sacred than our health or own sense of being. In Zen there is the saying, “If you meet the Buddha on the road, kill him” The idea that the Buddha nature is inside ourselves and there is nothing more “out there” to be found. Spiritual is our core, it’s our own uniqueness and each of us must discover it. Each year as we study mindfully we peel the artificial layers of accumulated learning away and get closer to our own wisdom.” Send any questions to the editor Ron@dotaichi.com, and if deemed appropriate they will be answered on this page.
