    There's a copy of the Confucian analects on the site, along with some other ancient Chinese philosophy texts.

            actually factually..

            actually..dao i wasnt just talking about you i was making fun of myself aswell..

            but what i was making fun of was your comments on this forum

            they are a little..one sided if you get what i mean

            and the mere fact that you brush aside confucius's teachings and that of his school as "leading me further from the truth" is basically one of the most ignorant and arrogant(hence the know-it-all joke) thing you could probably say..espcially you being a student of eastern religion/philosophy

            i mean confucius and confucianism(his school of thought) are considered some of the most wisest in all history not only be eastern society but by the west aswell

            his teachings are reveared by taoists and buddhists aswell as other religious sects and yet you seem to be above all that because you meditate..

            maybe im devling into this much and maybe im not..or maybe youll just come back at me with something about you didnt mean this or that..the result wont matter

            what does matter is that i asked for oppinions on good copies of the book of songs and the analects and you told me confucius was a waste of time

            it wasnt what i was asking for..it is obvious to anyone who knos anything about the subject you are just wrong( i mean i could go on forever how confucianism has effected not only chinese culture but chan/buddhism and taoism aswell) and its really just not a very contributive thought to this forum

            maybe your making the point that book learning is overrated and direct experience is what i should be seeking, but who are you to say anything about that sort of thing anyway? your 21 year old pup you dont really know anything and you obviously dont claim to so why are you giving advice on spiritual cultivation when you probably dont have the slightest idea of what your talking about? i mean how could you? you assuming what you cant assume and your statement is degenerative to anyone who comes across this discussion

            i think the ranting session is over..but if you read this dao i strongly suggest you change(or atleast evaluate) the way you post here, you seem like you could contribute something here so dont waste the opportunity..

            peace

              My sincerest apologies, I did provide a very poor answer to your question. I merely said what was on my mind at the time of reading your post, and since doc had already offered the answer you seemed to be looking for, I thought it would be nice to give you one of the many answers you weren't looking for.

              To be honest we(including myself) should all be meditating more....

              When is the last time you hugged a tree? I've learned more by climbing a fur tree on a windy day and laying against the trunk while exhaling my fresh carbon dioxide directly onto the tree and inhaling its fresh oxygen in return, learned more by experiencing the feeling of being buffeted around in the gale while rooted to something greater than myself than I have ever learned from any book. Wow. That was a runon sentence if i've ever seen one.

              I highly reccomend that you go hug a tree. While meditating. Ok thats enough for now.

                Confucius say, one day there will be a place called Connecticut. If you live there, you will want to get the hell out of the state.
                Confucius say, this will be a logical desire.

                    Seventh? I was told it was the fifth ring of hell. I'll have to beat my informant again this morning. Honestly I don't know what he was thinking.....
