六壬道法的級別
LOEK YUM LEVELS
The English translation of Taoism is inadequate because it fails to
differentiate between Religious Taoism (Dao-jiao) 道教 and philosophical
Taoism (Dao-jia) 道家. In the West, if anyone says they are a Taoist it's
probably because they've read some Taoist texts, practice 太極拳 Taijiquan,
practice 氣功 Qigong, study 針灸 acupuncture or 風水 Fengsui. Although these practices
may indeed be Taoist arts, that doesn't make the enthusiast a true
Taoist. Just as in Buddhism, one who is extremely well versed in the
Sutras cannot effectively proclaim herself a Buddhist. There has to be
a ritual performed by a qualified monk...
Most people tend to have very busy lives. Because of things like work, family
or any other matter, people don't have a lot of time for too many
rituals (i.e. going to church every Sunday). Fortunately in Loek Yum Sun
Goong, in order to maintain ones Supernatural Power, one is only required
to perform two rituals a year. That's all it takes to cover the first two
levels. Of course if one decides one wants to go to higher levels, then
a more intensive level of devotion is required.
