Our understanding of freedom of speech and thought
Fundamental respect for other people’s personality, opinions and thoughts is a principal pillar of Daoism. Everyone may make mistakes and no one is immune to failure. Thus we try to cultivate mutual understanding in order to be able to adopt each others point of view and maybe help where one’s subjective view is blind. Throughout qigong practice we are faced with many situations that we have never encountered before. This may induce fear, anger, sadness or other very emotional moments. For all of us, it is important to do this in a safe and trusting environment.
Our respect and humility should not remain behind the doors of the practice center. Everyone is part of the Dao, consciously or unconsciously, and thus there is no difference between any of us. We are not missionary, we do not force our opinion on anyone, but we are happy to answer when asked for advice. Everyone is welcome!
