Kouk Sun Do

Kouk Sun Do

I practice Kouk Sun Do. It's a breathing meditation of Korea.
I suddenly decided to post this up to study and better understand what I practice.

Start off by translating the name.

'Kouk' means a nation, a country, or a state.
'Sun' means a taoist hermit with miraculous powers.
'Do' means a way.

So the direct translation would be "the Korean way of becoming a taoist hermit with miraculous powers." It is a bit awkward, I apologize.

Although, it is true that if you practice 'Sun Do', you can have miraculous powers, but that is not the ultimate goal of 'Sun Do'. 'Sun Do' is referred as a mountain taoism, but what I am talking here is not taoism, rather it is 'Dan Hahk'. I will cover these topics in the future.

The plan I have is to translate three books written by 'Chung San Guh Sa' who introduced this practice in 1967. I've read all three, but I do not understand all of them. I will concentrate on literal accuracy and try my best of my ability.

Web Logging

     Alright, I created the account to blog, but I don't really update it because I'm lazy and not really organized yet. Since this is new year and the year of tiger, I will start new adventures and see what happens to my life and all.

     I am pretty much new to blogging. Although I studied computer science, I am pretty stupid and need a lot of time studying. So, as a start, I guess I will post up whatever blogger customization I find useful and interesting, as well as other stuffs that are intriguing and worth it to me.

Well, this is it for today!
  

Lenovo Laptop battery recall

I currently own a t61p laptop. The battery failed suddenly with an error massage saying that "battery cannot be charged" and my battery indicator is showing that it is charged at 91%. I called Lenovo and found out that the battery warranty had expired. I was about to purchase another battery for about $179 dollars for 9-cell battery at Lenovo website. So I checked Amazon and it was listing Lenovo t series laptop batteries range from about $44 ~ $179 or so. I was browsing the web for more to see if anything is going on with the Lenovo laptop batteries and I found articles published that Lenovo have recently recall batteries for their laptop series. Lenovo was recalling specific batteries and so I checked. Mine was not qualified. However, I quickly found out in Lenovo community that many people are experiencing the same problem with battery FRU P/N 42T451 which is the battery I own. I will see what happens. I hope Lenovo responds to the people's complaints. But I guess I have to buy another battery anyway because I need a mobility !!!
