I really appreciate your content. My parents both consider themselves Taoist and used to play a big roll in the temple. They invited me to join them a few times but I never learned any lessons (I just went there to eat). But I always wanted to know more about what my parents were getting out of Taoism. Today, the universe pushed me into your direction and it is uncanny how perfectly timed it was. Thanks for all your hard work and you should know that you make a difference.

Generousity, to give is not just to lose you can gain. Don't be so greedy and consumeristic, give and you will find balance
I became a better Catholic when I started applying the philosophical side of Daoism in my life. I admire you, George, for embracing this culture.
love the animation of yinyang flowing into each other
Thank you!
me too! I always see it just as rotating without flowing like that, but this one reflects how there is that constant movement back and forth, where sometimes yin comes forward and sometimes yang comes forward. But in the end they balance each other out perfectly
📌 Great video, but someone actually needs to hear this, you've got to stop saving all your money. Venture into investing some, if you really want financial stability.
@@Joseph-rx1do Yeah lately I've been thinking of buying cryptocurrency for retirement, I've set asides $350k to invest but along the line, I usually get cold feet, maybe because I have no idea what I'm doing, please I could really use some guidelines.
@@firearms914 In situations like this, I always recommend to people on getting guidance at least from someone that understands price action and all that while you strive on improving yourself by watching videos and learning fundamental analysis.
Glad I found this little nugget channel. The Dao is my way for everything. I hope I can get more excersize and learn from this master🐼
I am a school teacher and it pains me when I have to tell my students that China is our enemy. Because historically, both of our nations were always exchanging culture and science. But due to colonial manipulations and the short sightedness of our politicians, we are now 'enemies'. Their young minds fail to understand that this is a purely political statement, neither popular nor personal. Politics has done more harm to our respective cultures than the war we fought in 1962 and the subsequent skirmishes. Both China and India have so much to offer to each other and the world. Please continue sharing your knowledge with us, sifu. For it is people like you and not our bombs, planes, guns and missiles that can save the world.
Thank you, Mr. Thompson. I am much honoured.
If it was up to the people, there would be no war, because people who want war are usually not the ones fighting in the front lines or the ones living in the warzones. I hope that democracy will be replaced with a system that is better, that is fair and lets people be free, feel free and stimulates wellbeing, not just for us in the west, but also in other parts of the world where people for example still die because of a lack of water or die from a fever. I hope some day people will find balance with eachother, that we can accept differences and share happiness instead of fight and take what we feel is ours.
Rupom Hundred Mao was also the enemy of Tao or buddha. Chinese communist revolutionary destroyed any spiritual moral
Rupom Hundred
Rupom Hundred. The chinese is teaching u so many things. Where is there a hate? Be mindful of the media as well. May be full of craps
I use meditation techniques while I lift heavy weights. Also form is a big focus. You need mobility, stability, and flexibility to be truly strong. That’s my Yin Yang of fitness.

Taoism seems like a foundation for a utopian society. Very digestible and thought provoking videos.
Also.. what’s the name of your outro song?
Step 1. Don't use an alarm clock. This disturbs your natural rhythms and cycles and causes mechanical disturbance in your function.
The body knows when to wake up via subconscious mind. If you really have something important to wake up to, you will notice you wake up second before the alarm anyway.
George, Thank-you for these videos and to Master Gu for his participation.
This one was interesting because we just switched to Daylight Savings Time here in the States, which is not an issue in China. So now when do I get up? By the clock or the sun? As we move into the yang time of year when the daylight hours will soon exceed the nighttime hours, again, when do we we get up, by the clock or the sun?
My gut feeling is that for those of us who are retired or otherwise not restricted to a tight schedule, following the rhythms of nature is a better way, especially since clocks are a human attempt to enforce an order on life with only a general nod in the direction of nature.
Generally I like being up a little before when Master Gu recommends, around 4:30, so I can have time for meditation and morning prayer before sun up; I like to practice Taiji beginning in the twilight and ending just after dawn. The early morning is for me a wonderful peaceful time of day and I find the morning twilight beautiful.
The sun cycle you are in is your cycle it must feel good when you do it ... 'it' will wake you .. ha ha
Interesting the way you said "the yang time of year". I never thought of it that way but it makes perfect sense, there is more day than night for those 6 months. So more yang than yin.
If time is an abstract concept and daylight savings does not apply to China, then I would say use the sun. Or set your alarm according to the time change.
It's not just daylight savings time that is off, so is your standard time zone. True solar time is different at every point east-west, and varies over about a 40 minute range during the year. You can find the difference by averaging your sunrise and sunset times to find the clock times of true noon or midnight.
There are no enemies just lost people as well as misguided pursuits. People forget it was once. We all were just people living daily lives and trying to thrive in peace. I would ask everyone who she's this to lend a hand and help another who knows you may meet a new friend or help another within their life please and thank you all. :)
I found the generosity aspect most interesting. It always seems like the more you give to and help others the more it actually helps you and brings joy and a sense of peace to your life.
His English is good.
I live in Missouri where a lot of people are brainwashed into overeating and gluttony. It’s sad because I’m heavily inspired by Taoism and meditation. I feel out of place. When I retire I would like to live in the mountains or a beautiful place. It’s sad to see so many wealthy overweight unhealthy people here.
Tristan Lake
I live in Missouri too, but why worry about them, thats the same root tendency as control. I dont worry myself too much with the actions of others so long as they arent harming innocent people.
I agree with James Lee. No need to worry for them since they are adults who can take care of themselves if they really want to.
But as for obese kids, it's worrisome.
@herr haller Things can still be sad to watch even though you're claiming to be a spiritual person, yeah? Or do we expect the world to turn into some mush and us not trying to tell good from bad, right from wrong? I sure hope I don't turn into an idiot of that kind, it world be horrible, I'd be horrible. Yeah, not according to the universe or whatever, but from a human standpoint you'd probably realize something could be improved.
edit: nevermind. I've realized I'm not a fan of arguing on the internet, there's just misunderstandings on top of misunderstandings and there's always so much more to say, there's no context for anything...
????
Why would you move from there when you can teach them to live healthy. You know, give and take. You have the power to transform your comunity into sonething a little bit less gluttony and out of balance, you can be the change. Why would you change your enviroment for another, when you can transform yours and help others in the process?
This is all very beautiful. I can't help but wonder if I too, like Master Gu, would find peace, happiness, and harmony living on the mountain in those beautiful surroundings. Looks like a very beautiful life style.
Love the idea of sitting on a small stool in the middle of nowhere, and talking stuff that matters.
what an age to have a master be able to communicate with us while we're at home. You put this together so well it makes it so accessible and interesting

the other guy was such a pain to listen to, he had nothing to add
Really good advice. George complete the transition by going whole plant based vegan for both your health and a better world. There are some great online videos to help you understand the benefits, try "An Introduction to a Whole-Food, Plant-Based Diet - a presentation by Dr. Lim" if you need a start video.
I have been a lifelong Taoist since finding the Tao Te Ching in my early twenties, I am now fifty three and I live on one meal a day. with regular fasts for a few days to a week or more. True enlightenment comes from Both feast and fast. The sage only takes what is for him. And nothing is of interest to me unless it is shared. When you give you gain.
It's so simple really ...the universal law of energy response.
The rules to fallow are few and simple , like run , the difficulty is being constant
Lol wtf u must be lacking all sorts of nutrients and vitamins, also u must be thin and unhealthy af. Maybe that’s too much True Enlightenment for you.
grizzlybear117 not true, studies show intermittent fasting is better for the body.
@@bernardo290499111 ignorance is bliss is obviously an illusion in your case...
Can anybody come there??? I sometimes feel real bad anxiety and at this point I want to get to the end of this. I don't understand why I feel like this sometimes. I literally can be having a good time and I'll just get hit with it!!!! I dont understand.
Loved it! I have found that intense exercise followed by stretching and meditation gives you such an ability to become calm despite whatever mess is going on. It's like being in a focus zone. Thank you!

Wow!!! Master Gu is quite brilliant. . . he speaks beautifully our language (I could no speak his) and he knows how foolish we are - - going to gym's and such. I thoroughly love all of these!!! Thank you for sharing.
Read the Tao Te Chang and it helped unravel everything I thought I knew. Dwelling close to the ground and keeping thoughts simple has changed my life. I look forward to learning, and unlearning more!

Thank you for sharing the Tao with us. I've have recently decided to study the Tao. However, after years of martial training I realize now at 40 years old that I have been taught some of the Way and understand now why this is so appealing to me. I will continue to watch and share this wonderful material.
I enjoy your videos and the content and contact with Master Gu is similar to going to Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine school without the vigorous exercise. The philosophy and way of life speaks “well-being” to the inner me and I always feel better as in centered and calm with Qi Gong/Tai Chi. I appreciate your videos and wonder about the actual filming. Did you bring someone with you to help? You have good technical skills with film.
Your voice is very decent as well as very calming, and for these reasons I've subscribed.
I keep having these "teachers" such as yourself/channel showing up into my life due to this "student" being ready. Through many years of self inflicted suffering (drug/alcohol auction) I've surrendered and asked for help. Thank you for being a part of this help!💜🙏
I love your videos and channel. So beautifully expressed 💚 thank you!! (Oooh yes, the yinyang animation is fantastic 👌)
This stuff Should be teached in todays schools would make our World More peaceful - love it
I love Master Gu's insights! Very calming and no nonsense ❤
Watching your videos it looks like you're having an awesome experience, accompanied with some valuable lessons. I'm curious, what would be a good time to go to bed according to Master Gu or the heavenly way? :)
I have only scratched the surface into Daoism. Thank you for sharing, the Tao Te Ching resonates with me as does the yin/yan. Many thanks 🙏🏽
Yes !!!! We need a Taoist New Wave movement, tea,Art ,Poetry and cinema 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🙏☯️☯️☯️☯️☯️
Holaaa From Girona/España... Thanks for a wonderful INFORMATION.... Namaste 🤓😊🤔🙏🙏🙏
I really love the fact the Master Gu's explanation is compact and condensed philosophy, on which you George add some modern day explanation for the busy mind of the average person. It was very interesting to hear those tips and I find that getting up early is the most difficult to do! Thank you very much for sharing these important points! 👏🙇🏻♀️🖊📓💯
Hello George and Master Gu, I've recently begun watching your videos and am really enjoying Tea Time Taoism. I wanted to quickly say thank you for sharing your experience and insight. Learning about Taoism is already bringing a new calm to me.
Ha! I like the raw food concept, I always try to balance this as well. Waking up early is no problem and indeed always gives a better feeling to a day then sleeping out long does. Once again, do have a nice weekend and also, nice Christmas and a good new year exchange!
really enjoying your clips .. I first really encountered Taoist philosophy via the late Wayne Dyer .. I recently had shoulder surgery and someone suggested I study the Tao and also Qi Gong .. I have a martial arts background so very happy to learn.. thank you for all this valuable information 🙏🏼🇦🇺
Try setting your alarm clock to BEAUTIFUL DAY by U2 !!
I'm going to laugh because these are my hours naturally now ☺
4:44 up today
All my life I have adopted without realising the Daoist principle of Give & Receive, but am now at a crossroads in many aspects of life where I am doubting this philosophy, having helped not expecting a return with friend's in life, I look around few of these friends are still there, were they ever friends ?? of cause not.
Recently I was asked to do some work on a friends flat, over 3 weekends, i worked hard, it in total cost me a lot of money in transport, having to put my dog in kennels because she was not welcome, a few tools that need replacing due to use, while it was great to get to know a French family, to help someone get closer to moving into her flat.
For the first time, i just feel taken advantage of and used for my skills.
Yes i gained by expirence, but I have another friendship were if I don't make contact then they drift away, which is what will happen again.
So while I believe in Give & Receive, will always try to help people, but I am frustrated by the one way feeling I now have and distrust recent events have left me with.....
The path of life I am finding is a lonely, tough path I feel and out of balance.
It sounds like you are dissatisfied due to the lack of appreciation or reciprocity from those you help or share goodwill with. I’ve been there many times myself. In the future, if you CHOOSE to help someone in the future, then do what YOU choose but have no expectations in return. Otherwise you will always be in a state of angst and unhappiness because you have NO CONTROL over the actions (or inaction) of others, but YOU DO HAVE CONTROL over how you react to the action (or inaction) of others. So, it is your choice to be upset, sad, happy, or indifferent about the things that you (we) have no control over. So how do you CHOOSE be with the rest of your life? To the best of my ability, I choose happiness. ☝️🥴☯️
@@EnlightenedRogue24 Yes you are right, I choose to help and enjoyed helping, I am questioning myself, as I have by helping not achieved things that would have benefitted my situation.
Life events have created an avalanche of thoughts, where I am now questioning friends honesty, life, etc. for example; if it's me keeping another friendship a live, is it one way, also many other questions.
I am not sad or frustrated, everyone is different, we are all unique, my eyes are more a tune to the ways of people, than before.
I will carry on helping people, just not at the cost of my objectives if that is of greater importance.
Ultimately we all want to be happy, content with life, it's finding the right balance.
These videos are incredible. I'm a chaote, but taoism has such a wonderful philosophy for understanding yourself and living in harmony with the chaos of the universe. I have a lot of respect for it, and I want to thank you for these videos. They have greatly helped me with depression and anxiety. The world really does react differently to your perceptions of it.
I am very happy-good deed Johnson-go on spread it out-the more people know about it the better for the world .I would like the outstanding calligraphers form rural China-from KongKong-Taiwan copy it-may be just 2 lines-4 lines-8 lines .Make them like paintings so that people can hang on the wall like painting...Paintings for learning and be happy...Thanks ...CHINH

Sorry but.. some of what you say is wrong. A pot belly can store a LOT of qi... Everything you say is not strictly true.. Also remember you are teaching EVERYONE on the internet Sacred and secret arts..
True masters rarely teach like this.. if ever.. they teach through transmissions and remote monitoring to select their student. The student must be Noble and of good Honor.

You’re such a loving people, thanks you for bringing some balance to the world.
11 12 11 12 Rule is eleven denominations per 11 Religions. Just like 11 Forces of Physics and 11 more just in Metaphysics as well.
If you can’t live peacefully and happily for 40 years in outdoors like Caveman you have great weaknesses.
Dang, I'm already at work between 5-7am.
Nightshift 9 years now.
well this taoist neglects to consider the fact not every ones circadian rythm is in align with waking up at 5 to 7 am, in fact if you try and go against your circadian rythm you throw off your actual rythm and metabolism. thusly would it not be better to apply the excercises when you naturally and appropietly wake up. im sure that the hours of day that align with organs and what not vary with each dicipline of taoism. yes you can possibly change and re-tune your rythm but that takes time and study of oneself, this should have been taken into consideration when he began with the opening statement of when you should get up. Also people have slave jobs they work at so there is also scheduling to consider. im not knocking down the toaist im just pointing out things that are obvious to me. please review and asses my statement thank you G.T.
This has nothing to do with authentic Taoism. It’s just commonly accepted platitudes. This is especially clear in the part about nutrition, old taoists advised „Bigu“, abstaining from grains, not a „balanced“ diet with enough fiber, that’s mainstream today‘s advice as all the other content of this extraordinary shallow video. I’m a Tai Chi Chuan teacher by the way with a lifelong interest in Taoism.
I think I don't exercise because it always pulls up images of struggle and unpleasant sensations. Even though it's good for me, it feels so bad so I never do it. Maybe I'm trying the wrong kinds of exercise.
I have a big problem to get up in the morning, as I feel energised at sun set and throughout the whole night, but feel tired during the day no matter how much I sleep (or don't). Any tips?
Talking from the same experience... i realized that the idea of it being "normal" to wake at 6 and sleep at 9 may be what's best for us to live in balance but at the same time there is no law to how each person should live, it has its benefits, but if you live the other way round then embrace that and stop telling yourself you're doing something wrong because of a social norm, i wake at 10-11 and equally sleep at 1-2... would i feel better in a 6-9, probably, but at this "present moment" that's not the case and so i stop judging myself and embrace how i am at this moment... be at peace with yourself and let the change happen when you're ready, or you can try force it and end up frustrated and angry because the more you force the worse it gets, just my own experience.
I am a 77 yea old male. I have read many years on Asian philosophy. Yet I am a late bloomer. My wife and I are retired. We haven't got to much money. I will contribute when we can. Some movements may be difficult' How should I go about it?

Oh dear god. I just watched a bit more. He actually cut from the actual speaker back to himself to spout more horseshit. Downvote and Alt+W.
This is the most soothing and inspirational channel on TH-cam, I've ever seen.
I really like the philosophy of the daoism and the yin yang. But I really wonder how daoism responds to climate change. Sure, I get that not being afraid or accepting natural change is nothing bad, but climate change? What do you say?
Traditional Chinese doctor said: exercise should do in the daytime, nighttime better for resting, it’s like Yang and Yin, but most of people they are exercise after off work, even me.
So how do I start studying taoism? Which texts should i read?
Tao Te Tsing, Tao of Pooh, Anything from Alan Watts and the works of Chungzu
Here's an advice: Don't put your laptop between your legs unless you want your balls and what's inside to fry, permanently.
I am a medical student in China but part of my curriculum has Chinese medicine.. I really found this video helpful as I got a lot of information from it.. keep it up George 感谢你
intense 30 min work-30 min meditation,tai chi(or qi gong), or a mindful walk
Thank you for sharing the wisdom of a balanced living. I find similitudes with Ayurvedic principles in terms of waking hour, morning tends to get past Kapha period which is active up until 10 AM in the morning, eating with colours and exercise as a way to transform slugish energry.
I am a History teacher and find your videos helpful. I also practice Zen and love the overlaps. Thanks George!!
When speaking of change as something to be embraced and not feared you are making an incorrect generalised statement. Not all change is good and you should advice people that sometimes resisting change is wise not necessarily based in fear! Careful with you words.
Thanks for these uploads. There is no one favorite for me. I'm always seeking better balance and these are a great series of posts.
Thank you very much for doing this. As a more yang woman and 60 years of age, it's about time to look for a more yin/yang balance. I came across your you tube info. I love them. Thank you very much for contributing your knowledge and wisdom to the world. Big HUG Margot
People still think am a short tempered maybe I don't know that too... I find It Fun for them to keep thinking
So basically too much of anything Is never good ?
👏👏👏👍🙏
When I was very generous some people start to take advantage on me unfairly.
Then I start to be less generous and people get offended.
We should give and receive with balance!
Being generous is right, not too much, not very generous nor a little bit, simply strictly generous!
Those horrible #artgrid advertisements all over TH-cam... what the Tao said about this? grrrr
I would love to live with tao masters
This is what I should have been tought as a kid, but schools in Glasgow in the 70es didn't want me to know. But time is a funny thing.
To have recurrent desire is not necessarily wanton. We are trained into this by our biology. To quench our thirst doesn't mean that's the end of it. We'll soon be thirsty again. We know that, so I think it is fear or anxiety that we may not be able to satisfy thirst or hunger in future that drives us to over consume, over accumulate.
People overeat as a coping strategy, BTW. Working on the symptom might make things worse. Identifying the cause and resolving that is much better. But the fear structures in society thrive on the symptoms. -- Discipline is good, but a perceived need to exercise discipline also means there is something doing the prompting. Looking at that can enlighten. That enlightenment can empower or weaken. -- Is it better to sometimes not look? ... Better for who? For what? For how long? -- Personal strategies. They carry responsibility. Ultimately nothing matters but what we choose to matter.
8:10 Here's a head fryer (i.e. a TED Talks buster): If you have been too generous, then being less generous will restore personal balance (=health). ;-) - I'd have some comments on the give-receive idea of generosity, but that would become an essay, and I'm not feeling generous, ha-ha. - Let's just say while the Dao De Jing is a great tool for continuously drawing new insights from it, it is also a great tool for continuously questioning it. Same rules apply, whether it is a book or anything else in life. It is all within. The Dao De Jing could be seen as a part of life wrapped in a packaging that reads "LOOK AT ME! THIS IS GREAT STUFF!" (i.e. life). If people are attracted by it, they can learn how to look at life. ... If they open the book and see nothing but a trollface, they might have gotten their money's worth, too. - BTW, I can HIGHLY recommend this spiritual teaching video about the topic: th-cam.com/video/DLzxrzFCyOs/w-d-xo.html
New subscriber. Thank you so much for this channel. I've been intrigued by Taoism, especially philosophical Daoism, ever since I read the Dao De Jing for the first time in high school, but its not exactly the easiest philosophy to get your head around, even if it is in some ways ridiculously simple. Was wondering what your favorite translation of the Dao De Jing was/which one Master Gu considered "most accurate" whatever that might mean. Also, any recommendations for good books about Daoism?
Robert Martin Has T my freind T, Taoism:)
Try Red Pine's translation out or if you're interested try out The Essential Taoist which is also amazing. Both of which I highly recommend!
Thankyou to George and Master Gu for this short but insightful video. I teach Taiji Quan in the West of Scotland and I also feel a responsibility to share with my students the key philosophical principles that give rise to the practice of Taiji Quan. I also like that the video was shot in the Wudang mountains, spiritual home of Taiji Quan. Chris from Hermitage Taiji
I find that when I give to others, they feel obligated to give me something in return. I tell them I give not to guilt, I give to receive from the joy of giving and sharing.
Thank you for your generosity in making this channel. It really is helping my husband with ptsd and myself to find balance and inner peace.
Whoever disliked the video didn't understand what he was telling 😄😄 and I also saw the yin Yang on the floor
Thanks for what you are doing. Thankful for you! ❤️
He was saying apply to everyone, don't eat to much is not good for your health. Eat what you grow yourself
I think these videos are great. Master Gu's advice is top notch and George has a kind of Alan Watts thing going on. Wu Wei All Day.
I've been trying to find balance in everything I've done before I heard of taoism but never knew how I think I found what the tools I need in Taoism. Love your videos keep up the great work 👍
No offence, but you talk too much for someone who is trying to explain the Tao.
Ying yang is a euamosim for you dich.
In yang are the opposing forces.
Ty ... My friend for the effort and time you spent shareing this beautiful info
The more generous I am to people the more they don't like me.
Allen Morgan I think that is the beauty of the word Master Gu said was for “generous”. There is both give and receive in the same word. I think this means you should not give unless you expect to receive. Not giving in favors like, “you scratch my back and I scratch yours.” I think it means you only give to those who would appreciate it and be thankful for it. Jesus has a saying that you shouldn’t cast your pearls before swine. They will turn and trample you. Be cautious who you give yourself to.

If you toss compliments around freely, people will waste your time trying to impress you.
If you give things too much value, you're going to get ripped off.
If you try to please people, you'll just make them pissed.

I.e. your generosity comes from a place of fear, and fearful action is weakness and thus makes unattractive.

@Andrew Terry - It's the issue I have with that give-receive definition, because tit-for-tat based on unspoken arrangements is not generosity, but just a form of doing business and selfishly-motivated in a smart way and as such contains a lot of bullshit potential. It also clashes with another dictate which is to give gifts without expecting anything in return.
The Dao De Jing must not be read like fortune cookies. Study it like you study life itself.
the greatest gift of generosity is to give out of joy and learn to give altruistically. also learning to truly enjoy gifts given to you. whether appreciating a generous offer of water or a sincere act of kindness. one of the greatest gifts is to learn to communicate in such a way where others do not feel belittled in speech and how to ask for your needs in a gentle way that is not a demand. and also knowing how to listen to others needs even if they dont know how to go about it. some people have a need but tragically they way they communicate is a tragic suicide of the word PLEASE. this video is a gift of learning to communicate and listen beyond yelling. th-cam.com/video/NH1MKAdxUpQ/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/l2KkOPZfn_Y/w-d-xo.html
becouse you don"t find yet your generousity ....peace to all
I also saw a video about Okinawa where they talk about hara hajichi bu, which translates belly 80% full. Also in a project management course I recently took the teacher said, always make sure to help people, so they in the future will owe you favours. It's also just a great way to share our strengths. Nice videos keep it up ! :)
