Ya, heard that in the past, Mao Shan sect Taoists are strong especially at darker type of Taoist magic. Not sure if they are still as strong, or even stronger nowadays.

Seems there are two opposites of Mao Shan Taoist priests - the "good" ones who go around catching ghosts and evil spirits, and the "bad" ones who cast black and evil spells. But much of what we know about them come from Hong Kong movies (hahaha) so you can judge how accurate this info is (or isn't).

A Gun is Good & Bad coexistence depending on the user. In debatable scenario, it is not easy to judge good or bad. A judgment of Bad at a time that could be Good at different times and vise visa.

Both Good & Bad applying same operational processes just like firing a gun shot.

My dad saved someone from spiritual beings disturbances but the “force” diverted to me where I had many near dead experiences. Could that someone is a killer, drug trafficker, ....?

I don’t know how to operate a gun 🤗
Even though I may have some 😅

Wow, good to hear that you survived the experience. The lesson learnt here is that when shielding someone, the sifu must know where the attacking force may be deflected to, and take proper defensive measures too.

Saw this interesting Taoist exorcist series posted by user Super Kumantong / SGGhostbuster in YouTube. It's a series of 17 videos, called "降头 (Gong Tau) Is Real and Deadly"

Extracted from Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pangu

"The first writer to record the myth of Pangu was Xu Zheng during the Three Kingdoms period. Recently his name was found in a tomb dated 194 AD.

"In the beginning, there was nothing in the universe except a formless chaos. This chaos coalesced into a cosmic egg for about 18,000 years. Within it, the perfectly opposed principles of Yin and Yang became balanced, and Pangu emerged (or woke up) from the egg. Pangu is usually depicted as a primitive, hairy giant who has horns on his head and wears fur. Pangu began creating the world: he separated Yin from Yang with a swing of his giant axe, creating the Earth (murky Yin) and the Sky (clear Yang). To keep them separated, Pangu stood between them and pushed up the Sky. With each day, the sky grew ten feet (3 meters) higher, the Earth ten feet thicker, and Pangu ten feet taller. This task took yet another 18,000 years. In some versions of the story, Pangu is aided in this task by the four most prominent beasts, namely the Turtle, the Qilin, the Phoenix, and the Dragon.

"After the 18,000 years had elapsed, Pangu died. His breath became the wind, mist and clouds; his voice, thunder; his left eye, the sun; his right eye, the moon; his head, the mountains and extremes of the world; his blood, rivers; his muscles, fertile land; his facial hair, the stars and Milky Way; his fur, bushes and forests; his bones, valuable minerals; his bone marrow, sacred diamonds; his sweat, rain; and the fleas on his fur carried by the wind became animals. "

An acquaintance of mine, who has since passed away, testifies that Pangu is real, but not all that is attributed to Him is true, of course.

Someone forwarded this to my WhatsApp:

The Hungry Ghost month in 2018 starts on 11 August starting 11pm (rat hour) to September 9th. Zhong Yuan Festival is on 25th August. This is when spirits and ghost are released from Hades to roam the living world. You can setup your offerings in the South sector during 11pm onward.

Gate of Hell Opened
For private houses, the Gate of Hell is open on the first day of the Ghost Month, on which ghosts come out to the mortal world and the sacrifice ceremony, grand or simple, is required. The grand sacrifice ceremony means offering a good meal while the simple means preparing some fruits and desserts to show respect. As the saying goes, there is no such thing as a free lunch. This kind of sacrifice ceremony implies bringing me no trouble once eating my food.

Gate of Heaven Opened
For public places, the Gate of Hell is open on the second day of the Ghost Month. In ancient times, shops and government offices held the sacrifice ceremony one day after the private houses to pray for safety and no mysterious case in the month.

There is nothing one need to be fearful of, as they are also considered energy in the human world. In most cases, we don't usually do renovation commencement in this month. Do however follow simple guide line below to ensure a smooth month transition.

1. Don't response to someone calling your name if you are walking alone at late night. Yin energy is strong right after 11pm.

2. Hotels are considered Yin places, together with hospital. If you can avoid visiting them is better.

3. Stay away from beaches, places with huge amount of trees

4. If you have 6th sense since young, it's better not to go home late.

5. It is not advisable to swim in this month

6. Avoid making major decision in contract signing.

7. House renovation is best not to commence in this month.

8. Do not pick up anything on the road, such as mattress, coins, money and abandoned stuffs.

9. Do not make fun of spirits and it is best to be respectful.

10. If you find yourself having a lot of negative (or suicidal) thoughts for this month, visit the temple / churches and say your prayers often.

11. Keep a positive mindset and always do good deeds and accumulate good karma.

It just myths.

Spiritual beings are sharing our common space all time, not specifically on 7th month of Lunar calendar.

Jack Ma and Jet Li's Tai Chi short movie Gong Shou Dao

Some comments from http://taoist-sorcery-master.blogspot.com/...as-kung-fu.html as below:


"The hidden secrets in Jack Ma's Tai Chi Kung Fu Movie - "功守道" (GSD - Gong Shou Dao)

"The reasons for Jack Ma & Jet Li to shoot a Tai Chi Quan Video - "功守道" (Gong Shou Dao) :

1) To promote / spread the practice of Tai Chi Quan to the whole world

2) To promote & share Traditional Chinese Culture / Wisdom to the whole world

3) To indirectly reveal the philosophy of Taoism / Zen Buddhism / Confucianism which guide Jack Ma's daily life and his way of doing business

4) It is the prelude for the competitive sport to be known as “Gong Shou Dao” - "功守道", based on Tai Chi Quan. Jet Li has been named the founder of the sport.

5) Jet Li’s dream is for Tai Chi to become an official event at the Olympic Games, while Jack Ma’s vision is for everyone to practise Tai Chi.

Few million people all over the world had watched 功守道" (Gong Shou Dao) but seems like only less than 0.1 % of the viewers were interested in the Chinese Quotes shown near the end of the video clip. The Chinese Quotes are the hidden gems and most important part of the video, which shows the philosophy of Taoism , Zen Buddhism and Confucianism that guide Jack Ma in his daily life and his way of doing business.

Conclusion:

1) To understand, follow and learn from Jack Ma, read up 道德经(Tao De Jing)and 笑傲江湖 (Xiao Ao Jiang Hu) - "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" (especially take note of the character 风清扬 [Feng Qing Yang]).

2) Practice Tai Chi Quan for health and self-defence.

3) Apply Tai Chi Philosophy on everyday issues and business.
