For any of you interested in studying and learning about authentic Longmen Daoist teachings in a lineage format, Parting Clouds Daoist Temple education is one of the few places to get this in the West. Josh, Jack, and Ross are deeply knowledgeable teachers. They guide you in developing a deep and thorough understanding of the tradition and the various types of practices embedded within it. I am happy to have found the Parting Clouds community to deepen my study, understanding, and experience.

If you are interested please contact them since they will be starting a new cohort soon.

We take refuge in these three treasures; the Dao, Scriptures, and Teachers. The Daoist lineages are the living manifestation of all three. Come study with us online and join in this wonderful tradition. #道 #道教
