What an amazing ride! The narration, cinematography, music, animations, story, editing... just superb. Outstanding work, George!
I ❤️ your channel
I was going to make a comment about the similarities of stoicism and daoism and how they came into being independently of one another , but are so similar etc, but there's no point in me mentioning that when the two masters are present (George and yourself)
Hey einzelganger didnt expect to.see u here.
@@martind5565 no, no, no. Daoism is not similar to Stoicism. they are very far apart. This is the problem when you have youtube content that spreads waterdown teachings of Daoism. Read some Zhuangzi and scholars like Hans-Georg Moeller or listen to Jason Gregory and then tell me how similar they are. I hope you get in touch with the real teachings of Daoism. As Chinese I find it weird that such comparisons are made. Maybe what people teach outside China is not Daoism.
@@richardwong5670 I've read the tao te ching, I actually have zhuangzi ill be reading it after I finish the book I'm reading just now.
The similarities I see, is being content with what you have, no caring what other people think of you, be kind, coming to terms with mortality, patience especially with others, non judgement, appreciating solitude but also enjoying company and the importance of nature.
What are your thoughts on this observation (I'm genuinely interested) and have you read many of the stoic teachings?
Hi George, let me call you 师兄 ShiXiong here. Because of your film, I am in Wudang mountain with Master Gu right now! It is SOOO amazing that a Chinese living in Shanghai like me find out through TH-cam that such a place still exists in China! After all, it is not the border of countries that separated us, but the distance from outside to inside world. I got really luck to enter to the mountain a few days ago despite the covid policy restrictions. It definitely reminds me how challenging was for you to enter in 2020! Master Gu and I talked about you a lot.
Wish you find a way to keep your powerful, peaceful, beautiful mind.

I can't begin to tell you how much I needed this. I recently turned 69, and I have been feeling as if my life was over. Even though I am unusually healthy for my age, my body has let me know that I am no longer young. I live in isolation, in a place that is not my home, with very little social interaction. Perhaps this is an opportunity to turn within and develop a new understanding of life and mortality. I am a Zen Buddhist, and I find Taoism is completely compatible with the Dharma of The Buddha. Thank you for taking this journey. Whether you realize it or not, you have taken it for the benefit of all sentient beings. One thing I have learned in my 69 years is that if you change one thing, you change everything! Keep up the good work, please!
I hope you are doing well and still practicing/learning each day :) it’s an honour and a blessing to be able to read the comment you gave to George. Your comment has me feeling optimistic about my own future. Thank you!
@@haluonbeats1748 I can honestly say that I am doing better. I went through an extremely stressful situation a few months ago. I almost became homeless, just as my old body collapsed on me. I am proud to say that I did not panic. I stuck to my practice and my routine, and miraculously, I was saved from homelessness at the very last moment. Now I can see about getting a hip replacement! I am exercising, losing weight, learning and practicing, and I have decided to return to the place of my birth. I am packing and saving, and hoping to be fully recovered in time to be back home in 2 years. I was born in New York City in the Year of The Dragon, and I plan to be in Times Square on New Years Eve to see 2024, the next Year of The Dragon come in. I will be in Chinatown that February to celebrate with fireworks and dancing Dragons and Fu dogs. This goal has focused my energies, and given me something to look forward to. I'll be 72 by then, and ready to start a whole new adventure back on my native soil. Happy New Year and Best Wishes for YOUR future! IT'S NEVER TOO LATE!!!
@@katsujinkin60 You Sir are a hope and inspiration! Kindly keep sharing your journey to us in some form.
@@meghraj1434 Thank you for those kind words. They came just when needed. Once again I am facing the spectre of homelessness. I was informed on New Year's Eve that I have a new landlord, and that my rent has tripled. I refuse to panic! I am maintaining my daily routine. I am meditating, exercising, and doing whatever is necessary to resolve the issue. I'm getting used to spending a large part of my day ON HOLD! I'm so old, I actually remember a time when you dialed your rotary phone, and an actual human being picked it up and spoke to you, Ha! One thing I've learned is that life never stops coming at you. You have to be both strong and flexible to ride the waves. I constantly remind myself that I have dealt with everything that has come my way for 70 years, and this is no different. 7 times down, 8 times up!!! This too shall pass, and one way or another, I will celebrate The Year of the Dragon on my native soil! I wish you all the best in this coming year. Stay safe, be strong (and flexible), and never despair. Be grateful for challenges, for they are the crucible of character!
If the isolation is due to Covid, stop fearing the covid and go out and enjoy life. Or you'll wither away in loneliness.
This documentary left me speechless I’ve been watching your journey and videos a lot but this documentary was executed so well. I loved it! I’m only 17 years old but this gave me so much perspective and I’m so thankful and glad that I got to see and experience your documentary. I find myself often stressing about the future but then I remember I’m young and I have so much opportunities and so much time and im going to use it well and enjoy life. Im going to look deeply into Wudang mountains and plan a trip there whenever I can! Much love
Same omg even im 17!!! And was stressing out abt life, but this helped me put things into perspective!! Hope ur happy and healthy
It’s always so nice to see kindred spirits like this. Knowing there are other people my age interested in things like this (and also stressing about the future lol) brings me such relief because I don’t meet them very often and it really does feel lonely sometimes. I also am planning to visit the Wudang mountains soon, I’ve been told it is magical and absolutely worth it. I hope you will be able to do it too!
(p.s. I never write comments like this but idk I just really felt called to do it this time so who knows)
Hello, this is Google's translation.
I am very fortunate to see the traditional Taoist culture of China being discovered and liked. I am a Chinese. I love traditional Chinese culture very much. I have been to Wudang Mountain and participated in a short training. Thank you George.[天人合一，道法自然] Man and nature are united, and Taoism is natural. Thank you
Man follows de dao of de earth.
De earth follows de dao of heaven.
Heaven follows de dao.
De dao follows that which is natural.
Authenticity means living my own most potential for interbeing in timespace.

The world needs more films like this, to help us all on the path to serenity
It's so hard to find more like this on TH-cam. Everything of substance is just politics, politics, politics - and politics has become a fanatical poison in the mind of society.

Very good, refreshing window on life, how it effects us and others in different parts of the world, who live in ways, with less, but have a better life enjoying being here with only the necessry not the must haves. The need for greed is destroying all things good in this world. It will effect us all at some point in life, maybe in different ways. But we should all make our stand for us and nature along with the rock we live on. I dont want an electric car, that will mean destroying much more of the planet, the cost is to high. Wealth, greed, what about earth, nature, living by only taking what we need, not what we can make profit from. Destroying all around us, so we can feel good about ourselves. Out of sight out of mind, out of mind, out of care. Do not abandon your duty of care, as greedy corps and bankers have. The cost is to high. George, when at the farm alone with nature, you still hung onto western pc, not conducive to getting back to nature. Plus when connecting with the nature, you missed the one important thing, we are from the same, we have forgotten how to be as nature. Plus relevant to the empty streets back in Bristol, nature has lived along side us, ever since we left the primeval ooze, from the micro organisms, viruses, bacterias, they need us, and we need them. Without the ying and yang life would not exist. Together in harmony we have evolved, on diff levels in diff ways, but together we are here. The nature you saw was not out to do you in, but survive as we used to, before we got the need for greed bug. This is the problem, not anything natural from nature. Think about what i am saying. I guess you have a wealth of paper bound insight close at hand. Dont waste your life without knowing, why, what for. Great things can be achieved by increasing your understanding of all things on this septic isle. Dao. Knowledge will guide you.
I think it’s hard to find Taoism on zoom… I’ll stick to meditating the trees dirt and Snow
Thanks a lot for providing this glimpse into Taoism. Much appreciated.
The big three religions of China can be very helpfull for our relation to the world, others and oneself.
The tea time taoism videos helped me not to lose perspective some years ago, while beeing in a dark place.
Thank you and Master Gu for sharing this wisdom and for the example this way of living shows to us and the World.
Buddha Bless you🙏 Amituofo!
Wonderfully edited and narrated, you have the real makings of a documentary director and editor, thank you for capturing your journey during this time In Particular ❤️🙏
Politics and religions divide but spirituality joins us. Love and respect from Nepal.
Much love!!
@@George-Thompson Idk but maybe you need to reload this George. My notifications say you loaded but removed content. The only reason I got to see this is because I been waiting for this and just check in on your channel. IDK how TH-cam works but maybe re-uploading is in order to get some more views. Alright, off to finish this documentary.
Daoism is a religion
This is like a 50 minute trailer. This could easily be split out to a multi hour experience of humanity
❤️❤️❤️
Ya right? It feels like not really explaining much - but it's VERY good for people to get a first touch...
@@George-Thompson hi George l have just watched your docu..l must congratulate you very much,message is very clear,l practice tajji several years now,and looking at the images,moved me inside a lot of things,positive,happyness,great Hope,etc etc.,.my Heart today is happy,please never quit the DAO ,dao never quit us . thankyou very much. From Sardinja
⚘George, it is a great surprise that a Westerner can appreciate & narrate the Eastern wisdom of Taoism so well. It is a journey through paradise watching your documentary. Your film deserve a special Award. Congratulation! Warmest regards from Malaysia.
As a Chinese this is so fascinating to watch!, the editing, narrative and research and effort behind this is incredible 💕best educational TH-cam video I’ve seen
This was an incredible documentary! Probably the best I've ever watched! The cinematography is great but the message is even better!
I love that you weren't over inflating facts or talked with a lecturing tone.
It felt so genuine and was really beautiful to watch.
I really hope you open the captions for translation (my parents speak French and I really want them to watch this).
And I REALLY hope this gets the recognition it deserves!
Bravo to everyone who was involved and to you George! You were brave and awesome! ♡
Lara i'm so glad you think so!! Glad you enjoyed xx
Salute, George 💚
Hey Lara, just to say we've set up community submission for translating captions into various languages. You can find information in the description. 💫 xxx
I am so proud to see that we have come to a point now where independent youtubers can create content that is undeniably on par with full feature TV productions - both in terms of raw production value and narrative
Thank you for making this
You and your team did a great job shedding light on some really important issues
I hope you have success with you future film making endeavors
Greetings from Germany
I'm only ~11 mins in but everything you're saying, and the people you're meeting are saying, is really resonating. I had to comment after hearing "We are made of nature. Without it, we are nothing."
Thank you for allowing us this glimpse into your adventure. Wanderlust is strong in me, and you're showing me why. Now, back to watching :D
Congratulations on completing this documentary. The scenery and cinematography is stunning. I thoroughly enjoyed watching. All the best to you and Master Gu.
This was truly outstanding. I clicked on it and honestly didn’t expect to watch for more than 5 mins. But, you did a great job telling an amazing story. Subscribed!
Welcome to the club .
Read my comment above
I think that you would really enjoy his
Initial series of videos which are about his first journey to China and how he became a student at master wu's taiji/dao school
Been a Taoist for 6 years, and it's the best thing that ever happend to me. Incredible film George and true, Dao is Everywhere
i'm so glad you enjoyed!! ❤️❤️
Yoda is my favourite Daoist Chi master
He who follows de dao is das noblest man under heaven.
Thank heaven for de dao, Curious George Thompson!
Marvellous! The inspiring tale of one young man and his travels, both to lands far away and, deep within himself, to spiritual and mental peace. I loved it and am gladdened to have discovered you.
From one old man to another young one, well done!
I,been a Chinese Malaysian have never visited China but you are incredible,visited China and doing a documentary about it.Amazing guy!
This was incredible George. You're a born story teller and film maker.
Das world is a stage because
life is a show
and George is de lead actor
in de journey to de east.
Many congratulations George, and thanks a lot for capturing my hometown mountain WuDang 武当 so beautifully🙏🏻💕💐. Taoism/Daoism, art, and nature are what we can lean on during such a challenging time. This year in the UK, Spring to Summer is transitioning very slowly, nevertheless, good weather is finally coming 🐝🎶🌺🌱 just like the natural law, one season follows another. And as you've put in so much energy into this film of peace and wisdom, she will flourish as she deserves.
I'm so glad you enjoyed!!!
De potential spiritual energy that lays dormant in de center of mass of a body is transformed into kinetic spiritual energy through de forces of practice.
Therefore, we work for nirvana,
that blessed state of heavenly calm obtained by expiation.
@@satnamo Seeing your rubbish appear after nigh every comment is starting to tire even me. I'm beginning to see why my ancestors drew the katana instead of bothering with talking. I sincerely hope you don't speak like this in real life. If you do - I suggest you find a psychiatric hospital.
@@ErraticFaith what is so bad about what he said? I'm confused.
@@ErraticFaith whether one appreciates Satnamo's personal poetic style or not, this is not the appropriate place to post one's own accomplishments. Nor is it the place to vilify them for it.
Meditation is the original reset. Letting go of concerns, projects, worries and addictions to get back to original self, one with nature and all of the universe.
Drop a pebble in a lake and the ripples spread out... So it is with our every good action...way beyond what we perceive with the senses. Every one of us can make a difference, Wonderful film by the way!
The best way in the world to spend your precious life and time...In the very Flow of Tao.
By the way, technically speaking this documentary is great. The music, the transitions in the editing and the choice of footages is so cleverly put together and this is just your first. Please make more documentaries!
🙏🤗🌞
Glad you enjoyed it!
Although I dont share totally the pandemic narrative, I really loved this film and of course its message! All the best from Germany! Soon transitioning from the eight brocades to 18 hand luohan gong.
It takes one raindrop to create a waterfall. Thank you. I feel blessed. Much love. We are presently moving in an advanced higher direction with the help of loving souls & higher dimensional beings. Peace my friend.
Genuinely getting teary eyed at the end. You’re such an amazing man George. Watching your transformation in my darkest of times has inspired me to take similar yet smaller leaps in my own life, and I’m starting to become someone I genuinely love and am able to trudge through the anxieties now. I’m a completely different person than I was a year ago, and you really helped me with that, thank you brother, forever a follower on YT and FB. I can’t wait to see what amazing things you do next, I’ll be here through it all.
Much love my friend! xxx
The world definitely needs more films like this well done guys 💟☯️💜🙏
Dear George. What a joyous awakening for me today. To watch your Film was a culmination of a connect I experienced today. My warmest wishes. Bless your sweet soul to spread more love and light. And the ability to see opposites as congruous. As we say in India - Poorak.
beautiful documentary, beautiful editing, beautiful message, beautiful people. ❤️ thank you
You may consider yourself an amateur film maker, but many professionals could learn from you. A lot of documentaries seem contrived and force their point across to the viewers. This film and your videos always come across as genuine and sincere and that can't be faked! Maybe it's just the Daoist in you that gives it such a great sense of flow...
:)
You have to be passionate about the subject matter inspired by the topics covered
This film is a light, I felt connected to everyone and at peace. George you are an ambassador of light. Thank you 🙏 🙏❤️❤️ for sharing with us. Will be watching again.
I knew it since i was 9 years old,a 53 italian Taoist Thrasher that wait this MOMENT OF TRUTH for 44 years!
LONG LIVE MASTER LAO
George, beautiful... simply beautiful. We never know how and who you are going to connect with and when. Simply create and let go and let Tao connect.
George, wonderful documentary & i am sitting in isolation lockdown as i watched this, The Journey To The East! I remember the beginning of your auspicious journey within in 2017, i just subscribed before i took a personal sabbatical to help my elderly Parents transition through cancer & dementia & walking them home. I have been able to pick up the thread here & see the unfolding of You & congratulations on becoming a Disciple with Master Gu 😊 Wudang Mountain is Majestic & one gets a distinct sense of it being a wonderful place to cultivate essence., to grow & to become. Waves to You & Master Gu From Australia, i really enjoyed Journey to the east, Thank You for taking me with You! Peace 💜
Much love, i'm glad you enjoyed!! xx
@@George-Thompson I think you will be like Sir David Attenborough in your deliveries in video/documentaries, he brings awareness to being HumanKIND & Mindful of Nature & Animals. You on the other hand George, are bringing knowledge to battered Souls, who can relate to you, everyone is on a Journey home to The Wisdom Of The East. I think like you, other Souls are searching, in need of Peace, Nature, Direction & Happiness, The Way! 😊🙏
A refreshing documentary of inspirational young man in search for answers to timeless old questions. Deserves to be widely shared. And well done George, you are an inspiration to us all. A little spark of cosmic intelligence in an otherwise dark world.
Your generosity in documenting, persevering through, and sharing this amazing work/film is exemplary, humbling and deeply inspiring. I have come to a state of deep awakening (if I may call it so, without arrogance or pretentious claims) quite recently, my life rapidly seeing a multitude of beneficial changes on ALL levels, and though I came from a multiplicity of philosophies, sciences and meditation (along with many more "items"), these various facets of my path are ultimately mere reflections of the singularity that we all share in, consciously or unknowingly.
Your journey seems to have many similarities to my own chaotic path, and I have the dearest wish I could at least once perhaps travel to and meet the same part of this world as you have. I think and believe (and feel) a lot of what we are given a glimpse of in this film is how things should be for Nature and us humans, universally.
If I cannot find it in this life to make even a brief, honest and humble pilgrimage to this most impressive and harmonious place of wisdom, then I shall let it inspire me as wholly and fully as I can assimilate and breathe its natural principles into my own daily reality.
Bless you (and All of you).
You and your friends up on that mountain sure do make me smile.
Beautiful, well done. At the music around the 31 minute mark, my five year old came to say, "what's that music? it's so beautiful."
Epic enlightening film !
Thank you so much for this wisdom!!!!!
I'm honoured you enjoyed Shifu! Thank you for your wisdom and support over all these years xxx
Very powerful film 🎥 thank you George 🌀☯️🌀 Grattitude
Hey George! Thank you for making this. When I visited China to see my cousin, we traveled to Wudangshan and met Master Gu and a couple of the other students. We had tea and were able to receive a Daoist lesson before we continued to the top. It is surreal to see this up on youtube and see the temples we visited. Outside of the culture, no one where I live knows anything about Wudangshan or Daoism so it's an excellent way for me to show people and for them to start their Journey. If you ever saw an "Ohio State University" shirt, that was from my cousin haha. Thank you again for making this!
Master Gu is definitely such a lovely person! I literally stunbled into his school one day, trying to take a picture of the beautiful sunrise that morning and not realizing that I was not on a public building 😅🙈 He was so sweet having a chat with me that early morning and we talked about daoism as I was there in another Masters school for a year studying kung fu. If I ever plan to practice kung fu again, I think I would want to go to his school
Hello 👋 merci 🙌 George 👁️
Beautiful film by a beautiful soul at the perfect time. Thank you for heeding the call and sharing your journey, as we will all benefit from
It. 🙏🏻☯️
En fantastisk rejse som har gjort dybt indtryk på mig.
Så stille, og livskraftig, så smuk, så indsigtsfuld, så ærlig og kærlig
Tak.
Inspirational... I hope the individuals that disliked this video find peace
An absolute masterpiece! I will do my best to share this as much as I can to everyone I know. Thank you so much for making this film, George. Thank you Master Gu and everyone else working on the Wudang Taoist Wellness Academy courses. Great job by Joe Wells on the editing. Loved the animations by Mako Li.
I send love from Sweden - I'm eternally grateful for the inspiration and for your dedication to this cause of spreading Daoism to the world!
I'm so glad you enjoyed!!
Thank you George... for sharing your journey... and for doing your part in helping to wake our souls to the beauty of the Tao and of ourselves.
Oh let me just be generous and say how amzing you are, for having the bravery to go on a journey like this, at the beginning of a global pendamic and for your insane ability to see the beauty in everything.
It was lovely getting away from my existence for 54 minutes. Thank you.
Brilliant Film about Taoism, made me tear up many times when i realized how interconnected and simple the world is. At the end of day, our problems are just in our mind and we have to take some time to reconnect with nature to find our true selves and reset.
Yin yang:
I am in you because you are in me;
We are 1!
De 1 who knows das 1 becomes de 1.
Oneness within oneself brings oneness with das whole universe.
This is very well shot, amazing and beautiful video. Thank you
George you have surpassed yourself. Superb.
Love everything being in this space you have created. I would love to experience more. Unity for all creation. Peace dear friend.
Outstanding George, what a wonderful labor of love and a precious gift to us all.
❤️❤️❤️
Sublime! So inspirational. This film has had more of an impact on me than any Hollywood blockbuster ever could.Thank you George.
❤️❤️☯️☯️
Such a wonderful documentary! The parts in Wudang were so healing and relaxing and inspiring.
I hope there is a part two.
Beautiful documentary ❤️, very necessary for todays world. As an animal and ambiental activist, it’s been very stressful and painful to see all the things that happens thanks to anthropocentrism (which I say is the root cause of most problems). Climate change, deforestation, pollution, trillions of beautiful sentient animals exploited and killed every year, and even covid and most pandemics!! all of those are the result of anthropocentrism: believing our power and intelligence justifies the destruction of everything that surround us, without understanding our role as humans as just one more piece from this amazing universe. While watching the documentary I teared thinking how beautiful the world could be if people knew about this, if people stopped rushing and replicating what societies make you see as normal, without stopping for a moment to see what we are doing to our fellow animals, and our home. Stopping, reflecting, without being afraid to accept we were doing unnecessary harm, knowing from now on, we can work on making a more peaceful and balanced world for everyone who lives here. I always felt taoism went so so well with veganism and ambientalism, I would love to talk about that and meet other people who see the relation there. There’s so much modern ethical and ecological theory that are so similar to taoist teachings from thouthands years old... what an amazing thing is taoism. I think covid woke up many minds around the world, I’m looking forward to seeing more people joining, the world will be more beautiful than ever.
It was incredibly cinematic coupled with a digestible yet profound message!
George I want to thank you personally. As someone with a lot of beat up personality and personally. I applaude you dude!
You go when the mountains call you!
Nice documentary. Light, fast and young. Interresting thoughts and beautiful journey. Observing the nature and find the truth of ourselves and life. Inspiring. Glad to see you find your peace and truth of life. Continue your journey.
It reminds me from time to time that every thing has its value in your life. Thank you!
The most learning and relaxing movie that I ever seen. Love from sweden
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you, George and your team 🌿
I wanted to stop for a minute, and take the time to thank you for publication. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it , and yes. I cried before you left China.
I hope the world is good to you Sir.
And once again thanks.
George. I’m very happy I found the online school and then I found your film. You did an amazing job with the film. I’m very touched by your story and how authentic and genuine you are. The message is ancient but you add a very tangible link to our modern day life. I love it. Your anxiety, the search, and discovery of self and truth are all thing I can relate to. I appreciate your ability to share this on you tube and spread Daoist beliefs or philosophies. I love how well they fit in my own mind.
Hi Heidi, thank you for your very kind comment! Appreciate you ❤️
Happiness and naturelove from Scotland
Thank you George
For raising your voice
Your work is inspiring.
The message that we are all intelligence and beauty
Is the hope for Humanity.
Congratulations 👏
Thank you so much Joe!!
Production quality for this is really amazing.
Loved it. I've been a western Taoist since I found the Tao Te Ching at age 13, after a falling out of belief with my born faith (Christianity). Nobody has ever begun to make Taoist content (especially with over 100k views) until recently, and I very much appreciate the work you put into this full length documentary on my most favorite thing in the world. I mean, how could the Tao not be? I've enjoyed watching you and this channel grow with this sweet old Master on the mountain. Wish you peace and clarity.
Wow, powerful film. Thank you so much George
Amazing. What a great work. Thank you George for sharing Wudang, Master Gu, and The Dao with us.
Peace and Love is all we need. Thank u so much for this amazing teaching trip. Peace and Love is all we need.
I've only watched a few of your videos, but this one...George...stands alone. It is a triumph of your curiosity, you're intelligence, and your passion. Thank you.
Brilliant film. Thank you George🙏
Wonderful film. I will be watching this over and over again. Thank you, George!
I have been outside of the house the last 3 years, more than the previous 15.
Meditation teaches how thoughts produces what manifests as our experience
I am glad to hear you are picking the focus now, and no longer having outside directors of thought.
🙏🏻🙇♂️
2:24 sent some asmr chill over my whole body and I have the absolute biggest smile on my face! It's time for me to come home too. A few years back, I had a sort of breakthrough, I'd found Eastern philosophy & I was growing spiritually. Soon though, I fell back into old habits & insecurity. I'd forgotten all I had learned and spent so long wondering if I'd ever feel the pull back to Taoism, the east, and the need to experience life that way. I'm happy to say that the spark has returned to me! I'm starting over by watching your fascinating content & am hoping to deliver into the deeper parts of my humanity so that I can find my way back to the peace I had before & find my life's purpose. I want to thank you George. We don't know each other, but I'd be remiss if I didn't thank you for your friendship & allowing the world to accompany you on your journey. Someday soon, I hope to come study Taoism in China, like you. Thanks again! 💯❤️☯️
Glad You Did It For Us☘
Maybe one day....
@George Is There AnywaY You Could Teach&Learn Us How To Use AnD TwisT A Wooden Stick?
Hello, George & Joe from Western New York State. So excited!
Thanks for portuguese subtitles . From northeast Brazil. Congratulations to video.
Thank you very much George for giving us these beautiful moments continued like this. make us all dream with you with your wonderful experiences you are the modern Marco Polo. I wish to meet you one day in the wudang mountains.
This was incredible George! Thank you 🙏 The like bar is one place where we won't see any sort of balance...
wahoo! so glad you enjoyed!
The film is amazing George. Truly worth waiting for. Thank you to you, Master Gu, & the film crew. 💕 Love this!
Beautiful, wise, civilized and so gloriously human.
Well done George,
What a refreshingly natural and peaceful way of telling a story with enormous benefits
I admire what you have done George and the impact that your film may have in others! I will share it with my Qigong students. It is really a reminder of our energy true selves and an invitation to understand not only our connection with all that exists in this our reality, but our total interdependency that sustain our existence. Thank you for sharing it!
It is clear a lot of energy and thought went into the film. It was beautifully photographed and edited. Spiritually I hope it has the desired effect. Very well done!
I'm glad you felt so!!
Thank you George for such an amazing journey of love and light.
This documentary is absolutely fantastic. I have been profoundly moved to actually question my life in the context of the greater whole. I thought those concepts were merely philosophical, something to contemplate when there was nothing else to do. Wow. I have always been drawn to Daoism, as a philosophy, but not as a practical mode to walk through my day to day life. I am open to the experience of fullness/emptiness as two parts of the whole. Thank you so very much George for making this available to us. I am truly interested in the Master Gu's Academy that will help me become the best version of myself in this lifetime, navigating the rapids we find in the collapsing systems of this world.
Ah, George. You did GOOD!!
Let’s go!
CONGRATULATIONS GEORGE..! FROM ARGENTINA... THE REAL JOURNEY IS TO OURSELVES...THE EAST IS OUR HEART.... THE WEST IS OUR MIND...
THE FILM ES BEAUTIFUL.
THE MESSAGE IS CLAER.
AND YOUR SOUL IS BOTH.
THANK YOU MY FRIEND. GRACIAS AMIGO MIO...
I love you George 🥰 you're an amazing film maker
Wonderful film George. During lockdown I read Wayne Dyer’s book, Change your Thoughts Change your Life. It’s a journey through the Tao Te Ching. I highly recommend it. 🙏
Beautiful film George. Well done. I was called to follow the Dao only at the beginning of April. Writing that I am surprised, it seems like I have always been a Daoist. And of course I have. I just didn’t know it.
glad you enjoyed!!
Absolutely beautiful! I am sitting here with my granddaughter she is loving it so much that we are about to watch it again at her request. She is eight and said that this is where we should be and would love to live there. It has given me an insight into what she may need. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your heartwarming experience. It's heartening to know that the video has resonated with you and your granddaughter. 🙏
Everything I wanted to say about this video has been said already. What's left for me to say is: Thank you, George!
