May I ask, what temple in the Philippines did he visit?
ReplyDeleteI live in the Philippines; if Master Zhang visited temples here in Manila, I would like to know where, because it means the temples are upright and pure.
Dear Bro, sorry to say that, the Taoist Group that 63rd Master visited is not longer existing. For the moment, we are trying to re-set-up that in your country for more Taoists to participate in, maybe will need your assistance in the future.
ReplyDeletePlease do inform me soon, I really am interested to learn proper Taoism! Thanks Shifu Jave.
ReplyDeleteDear Bro, maybe I will need you to gather all the Taoists in your Country and for those who are interested can contact you, so you can gather them together.
ReplyDeleteAre you keen in doing that?
I can help. But most Taoists here are very clan-oriented, or some are 三教/天道 followers, so it's hard to find an authentic Taoist temple. What do you propose to do? Isn't there a Long Shan Men group that you ordained--maybe I can help them or study with them?
DeleteDear Bro, for the moment, the LSM at your country is under a resting mode, so not much can be done. I will need more people at your country to gather around to promote the upright culture of Taoism.
ReplyDeleteMaybe we can start by allowing people from your country to contact your thru Email or Phone.
Are you able to provide me your email, so that I can annouced to the public and ask them to contact you.
Sure, can I make a separate email address just for the Taoist group? I'll provide you the new email I create.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I only live in a small house, and can't hold any big meeting. But I can serve as a contact.
Sure, keep me update on your new email. You can email me at javecxwu@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteNo worries for the venue, we will try to start small and by then, see what we can do to get a bigger place.
Ok, I'll email you soon. I know a few people already who would be interested to learn more. Thanks Shifu Jave!
ReplyDeleteGreat, do keep me update.
ReplyDeleteLook forward to it and we will work together to promote it
