Understanding Meaning of Ancient Texts - Philosophy

Recently I found a reference to "kung fu" in the Taoist texts translated by James Legge where I assumed that it referenced the physical practice but now am understanding that it may mean a lot more.

I recommend you read the article which was first posted by Dojo Rat at this location. I am providing his link which also takes you to the actual article here as well, "Kung Fu for Philosophers."

I believe that this can be translated into any "art form" when the intent is improvement of one's life in general. I found a good deal that although referenced Kung Fu still applies to my practice of Isshinryu.

As I would suggest here it all has relevance regardless of the topic specificity and that this type of discovery when taken with openness and a tiny bit of skepticism leads to greater understanding.
