RE: Herbal Pharmacology - Chinese Lang

[Guest guest]

I stress this point every time this conversation surfaces.

 

-Jason--

No one mentions Chinese language training.

I also stress another point whenever I bring up Chinese language - something

more fundamental than language training, which is internal cultivation. Without

nei dan we have no way to access the material directly, and we are left with a

hoopla of intellectual interpretation and understanding - all of it subject to

subconscious bias.

Hugo, I couldn't agree more on the point you make about internal

cultivation. In my experience, that was the main " missing factor " in my

education in the MSTOM program. With the exception of a few individuals,

the medicine was not 'embodied' by those who were teaching. I would just

add to your phrase - " we are left with a hoopla of intellectual

interpretation and [mis]understanding. "
