Guest guest Posted May 22, 2001 Report Share Posted May 22, 2001 Actually, Kelly, Alcohol poisoning is mentioned in quite a few works. . . .Li Dong-yuan and Zhu Dan-xi mention it in their writings. It has always been a problem, and one the Chinese tried to treat compassionately. On Tuesday, May 22, 2001, at 12:12 PM, Kelly Welch wrote: > As far as treating "drinking too much"..

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2001 Report Share Posted May 23, 2001 Kelly, I appreciate your sarcasm. Ironically enough, however, Li Dong-Yuan himself seemed to have experience prescribing hangover remedies.

Occasional drunkeness is hardly a disease to be condemned. we need to separate occasional recreational use of substances from reckless abuse. I know the AA crowd disagrees, but substances can indeed be used casually and for expansion of consciousness. the history of civilization is bound up with mind altering substances and I believe there would have never been anything resembling human consciousness and civilization without them. In china, certain martial arts forms involve the use of alcohol; Jackie chan's drunken master is not pure fiction. the taoist imbiber is part and parcel of china's spiritual heritage. Tantric aghoras use alcohol and other substances as part of their spiritual path. Just because many get waylaid by this pursuit does not negate it for all. My tantric techers believed most people should stay away from substances, but some would advance by their use. We should certainly not support alcoholic behavior, but also recognize there is more to it than this limited worldview. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
