Mmmmh
So many words such as "fake", "scam", etc. like they're trying to prove something...
And this from the comment section:
"about the tao te ching–according to my tao master guy – he doesn’t agree on it: reason because its related to a tao lineage that promote the tao te ching– that mix together confusionism , taosim and budhism all together–Taoism should be Taoism only not 3 religion mixed into one-something like that —well he knows the full history on it-and read it and do not agree on it ..i dun know much about it as i said i dun read books-
well okay –i never read up on these -probably never will–dun care about it…
Well okay –i am not going to base my info from my tao master guy’s perspective –with his knowledge in history and whats bullshit and whats not —and the history in Chinese Taoism and whatnot because it is out of my knowledge range.."
is not a good sign.

It's a pretty long read, especially the comments, but what I get is that the guy is giving his experience only.
Wealth, Health and Happiness are my nature.

Yea, personal experience is personal, thus the usual suggestion to take it with grain of salt : )
Although, Tin Yat lineage is very sketchy and famous for his founder insulting other religions and belief systems : /
