Module 5: Discussion

Write a post addressing the following question:

In response to Robert Company’s discussion of the possible effects of Shangqing meditations, can you think of further ways that these meditations might have real effects in the society or in the individual? (Be sure to provide examples from your readings of the meditation practice you address.)

Use the material from the readings or lectures to support your ideas and assertions.

Respond to at least one of your classmates’ posts. Response posts should be substantive and move the discussion forward by asking questions, elaborating on a point in the initial post, suggesting other possible arguments, or suggesting other examples.
