Little is known about the circle walking practiced by Lung Men Taoists, and my own research into this area has been met with many dead ends. However, it s believed that when these Taoists were walking in a clockwise direction, the mantra recited was designed to awaken the mind to generate a clear understanding of reality.</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/DE43B0A5-9910-4703-BD7C-FB8647DD11C7/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
