yep, for 5 minutes and then group or barbarians would rape them and kill all other men from that happy balanced cosmic dance tribe. That's why for example voting should be generally limited to only professionals and specialist who can govern country right way thru struggles and everything as most spiritual people can not look up on situation realistic way. Too much yin = death, too much women activity into yang = death. Today women still think that the men need to balance themselves towards women or women are still to weak and men need to give more and more, but this is nature of yin. We can use TCM to govern country as a body really - if someone smart would create such system would be close to perfect in sense of balance. I know we want to speak on taoist views but taoist views does not mean 100% correct views, nor anyother religion and branch. Most accurate way is to make 5 elements and yin and yang balance but realistic yin and yang balance like they used in war strategies etc. Also there is earth and heaven relationship between heaven and country, that's why people under influence of spiritual tradition which connects people with Heaven actually earth will follow and balance itself. Gender roles are just pathology from disease, misunderstanding. In taoism there is no gender roles as it's come natural to everybody if we let it come.

Mineral cinnbar and other with can be used in weidan. They are rubbing it off because you need to know how to fixed pre-natal essences in material state and to be suitable for digestion. It's not easy task to do so. People have very unrealistic view on those things.

Because body is most sophisticated technology which all other technology goes from it. Body is itself technology to attain that Dao energy - so here is your answer.

Do you have any examples? It's not possible, technology can only work from post-natal. Maybe there is a chance that there can be technology which can tap into pre-natal but it would need go into emptiness/dark-matter or something like that (I'm guessing here) which would be very advanced, very complicated and very costly and beyond sci-fi.

I'm actually getting into touch with couple scientist to check my Qi skills if we can use it anyway in technology. There is definitely way to base technology of qi, the question is only about condensation and fixing it into more solid energy. The problem is that the whole humanity can be wiped out if we develop negative stream of Qi in high concentration it would be more dreadful then atomic bomb.

Just food for thought, do not get confused.

Some interesting testimonials. Khoan is a Buddhist follower; he took refuge in the Triple Gem about 10 years ago. He told me he has been diligent in visiting pagodas, meeting with many senior monks, and reading lots of Buddhist books. In 2010, he was diagnosed with throat cancer stage 2. Hence, he spent more time chanting Buddha’s name. But in the beginning of 2011, after a few radiation therapies and losing his hairs, he was discharged from the hospital. When Thao, his wife, heard from her friends that I was transmitting the Secret Seal, she and her husband invited me to their home. When I came, he looked very pale and thin, with a bald head. His wife talked about their five-year-old son who was hyperactive, in other words he got autism. He would smash things when the guests came thus they had sent him to the neighbor for fear that he would disturb the conversation. After listening to his taking refuge in the Triple Gem to become a Buddhist, I explained to them about the Secret Seal and subsequently gave them the Initiation Ceremony. The ceremony barely ended when the entrance door flew open and their chubby son stormed in. It turned out that he had broken the door of neighbor’s who was unable to detain him and ran home. His parents quickly tried to catch him but he successfully escaped and ran to me when he suddenly stopped. He sat down in front of me in a docile manner, in a half lotus position with his back straight. I understood that the Invisible Guardians were directing this phenomenon so I asked: "Do you want to recite Buddha’s name with me?" He nodded and politely said: "Yes, I do." The boy was sitting opposite me with his back toward the altar, when unexpectedly he told me, looking serious: “Then, uncle, let me turn my body toward this direction before we proceed.” His parents were taken aback with this statement and with their autistic son turning around to face the altar. I immediately held his hands and joined them in front of his forehead, then praying out loud: “Namo Amitabha Buddha” so he could join me. Then I let go of his hands and the kid just continued praying in that position, behaving himself very well. The Spirits immediately bestowed the Buddha force on him, moving his hands to form mudras and performing very neat martial arts gestures. His parents were so happy when they knew that his son has been given the Secret Seal which might miraculously cure his autism. Thao went inside to prepare lemon tea for me. She came out with a large serving tray that held a thermos, a small sugar container and 3 cups. As she just walked out the boy sprang up and dashing toward her, he snatched the whole tray and everything on it from his mom. His parents cried out in panic, fearing that he would smash it, as she had quickly let go of the tray. Surprisingly he caught it smoothly, keeping everything on it balanced; and dashing inside, he shouted out: "Let me prepare his drink myself.” I signalled his parents to let him be. After a while he brought out the tray with only 2 cups of already made lemon tea. He gently placed one cup in front of me, and thumped the other cup down in front of his parents, he said: “you two share this.” Then he took off to go play at the neighbor’s house. As the parents and I drank the lemon tea, we were pleasantly surprised that it tasted good and was well-mixed, a task which not too many five years old could do. Moreover that little guy even put away the thermos and the sugar container after using them. His parents were all moved to tears. I reminded them to practice the Dharanis diligently and took my leave. Early this year (2014), I received news from them that Khoan has recovered from cancer, their son then six years old, was also cured from autism. He attended grade 1, and was very active and clever. This is an extremely lucky and happy family, thanks to protective power of the Secret Seal --- About what is buddhist what is not. There is no sense to argue about it because for most people is subjective. From academic point of view 80% buddhist is not really buddhist etc. especially when it comes to esoteric buddhism we have a lot stories similar or same as in taoism of immortals so let it go. If someone want to play fundamentalist - okay but we are focusing here on this practice so please keep mind on the topic.

On what basis do you judge it? Why so quick to judge? It's not spontaneous qigong. It can look like that but you have no idea what beside your own judgement without proper experience of the practice. It's make no sense to talk like this "like" you know when clearly not. this got nothing to do with spontenous qigong - practice and then we can talk. Another specialist. You know of course in memory all three caskets, all tantras, kriyas and everything to judge that this is not buddhist? On what basis do you think it's not buddhist? It's follow doctrine of buddhist so it is buddhist. Whatever the practice is related to the basic doctrine which is for all schools pure land, nichiren, shingon shu (which this school is related, mikkyo) etc. it is buddhist. Buddhist have even own qigong.

The practice have Buddhist origin. I just post it for curiosity as is very similar to the Xiao Yao Pai. There are many practices which comes from buddhist spiritual deites like dakinis, bodhisattvas etc. The language they use is pretty funny in sense of that, they trying to fit into modern understanding and unification of religion mixing some concepts for regular person. This is not monastic practices as this is lay principles of buddhist practitioners, the five basics. I'm researching on this practice so sharing with others as legit one.

Exoteric Buddhists do not cultivate the body. There are practices in estoeric buddhism to attain immortality physical and spiritual too.

and this is when it comes to clash between hou tian and xian tian mentality. One of my buddhist teachers said too with laughing when I asked about eating meat and she laughed "Sheep eat grass all day and eat become enlightenment?". If we want too cultivate yin and yang way then we have such struggle but when we cultivate straight for wuji things become natural and spontaneous. - from what I understand.

What you say have actually exact reflection in classic chan/daoist scriptures. that's why I love Xiao Yao Pai as school general, crystal clear. no butthurt but just answering everything right way.

I read the stories that fox-spirit who stole jing of the monk under being women attained immortality and then fly away, when he cried to the gods - they said "we can not do anything as she attained immortality so it's beyond all". It would be mean that becoming immortal actually help you transcend karma as such, there are many stories as it. but it depends on the level I guess. shenxian are known to pay off debt and help others.

Ming is nothing else then kidneys. (vel yuan qi)

The hurt you feeling is grinding up effect. You will feel very nice with time.

I like my pizza, can I become immortal pls.

That how you recognize true genuine school. Where do I sign up?

No, stay away from that. Learn practice by your own it will benefit your more. People get use to addicted to healing, healing is holistic which is life style related. Some qigong masters are capable of helping healing other people if they are really well cultivated but this is extreme rare.

Sorry but what background do you have? Read some books on that. There are lesbian alchemy practiced in Taoism, homosexuality in Taoism more women oriented from what I understand, but you will find some men too and in neidan community too as China was pioneer in this, japanese people followed. and what weak neidan you practice that homosexuality can affect it's results?

Sorry but ask any academic about this. I'm not mixing anything. Homosexual customs of monastic went to Japan and it's not even a secret but it was regular thing so you can even do simple math that some or neidan practitioners from your school been homosexual. and saying about immortality you need proofs - otherwise it's make no sense to speak about. I personally sending emails and letters to scientist to check my Qi skills and try to deduce how to use it with technology and modern thought. Immortality could bring era of peace in people and only proofs can bring harmony with Dao because people start to cultivate. Many people started practice qigong around me because they found proofs in this. Saying and arguing about this and that makes no sense as we talking horns of a rabbit. Nature shows us the immortality of physical body is possible as many organism live beyond regular human life span but lets speaks facts.

If anybody study anthropology of China and monastics know that homosexuality was rather normal in monastics or even some people said that's it's better for monastic to do so with other men withing monastic community. It's have own name in chinese but I forget it. Anyway homosexuality was pretty well accepted in China and that trend moved to Japan. Probably your neidan masters also like to mingle with young boys as it was generally accepted.

There is any commentatory to those practices in huming jing by other masters or practitioners?

I saw one guy here who is very good about TCM, his name is Gerard I seen him around here but I do not know if he log in or left the forums. The best if you can ask him as he seems very knowledgeable.

He speaks about Huiming jing that he practiced it from that book to attain Srarira or other book?

Her teachings is similar to that of Satipattana, emptiness and wu wei, very interesting. I'm on awaken on QQ comunicator, very genuine person and we follow very similar ways of cultivation It's kind of Xian Tian approach, rather then cultivate jing, qi, shen, you cultivate from emptiness and non-doing from that.
