Is the state of Wuji in Taiji the same as Zen in the Buddhist tradition? Essentially a state of "no mind" where things are not differentiated, not even the individual (I) from the rest of the universe (not I). I'm reading a book about Zen meditation and the author describes stuff that sounds a whole lot like Taiji standing meditation. For example, he says that after months of practice his center of gravity shifted down to his lower abdomen . The more I study Taiji it seems to be a derivative of Zen meditation, mixed with Taoist cosmology and terminology borrowed from tradtitional chinese medicine. Asian culture is so huge vast and "incestuous" its like a big ball of thread, just find a loose thread and start pulling on it.....
