  1. I have read this book many years ago. Of course, I read the Chinese version. Its Chinese name is 太乙金華宗旨. At first, I spent a lot of time reading it and tried to understand it. But I found some mistakes in it. Therefore, I haven't read it for many years. The author of the book is unknown. In this book, people can see a name 呂帝. But he is not the real author of this book. Someone else wrote it. Someone said 王重陽 wrote it. Now I read it again. I found what he wrote about 陽生 is right. 陽生 means Yang start. Actually, 陽生 is the second Yang. 陽極生陰,陰極生陽. It means "When Yang goes to the extreme, Ying starts. When Ying goes to the extreme, Yang starts." In 黃元吉 Huang Yuan Ji's book 樂育堂語錄, we can see there are three kinds of 陽生. To understand what is the real 陽生 is very important for a dan dao 行者 trainer. If one misunderstand what is 陽生, he or she may not be succeed to achieve golden dan all his life. There is no light in the first layer of 陽生. We can see special light in the second layer of 陽生. It looks like mandala, a strange light, many different shapes. The real golden dan starts in the third layer of 陽生. Very few people can achieve here. It needs a lot of 陽生 to stay in the third layer of 陽生. Only if one can stay in the third layer of 陽生, he can achieve golden dan and dharma body 法身.
  2. 玄牝之門,是天地根 The secret door is the root of the heaven and earth. The secret door is the basis of the dao. 專氣致柔,能嬰兒乎 Concentrating one's attention on Chi. Can you become as soft as a baby? Concentrating one's attention on Chi. Can you become a baby? We can see that LaoZi has the different appraisals in these two ways. But people are still chasing the MCO.
  3. Is enlightenment really desirable?

    開悟為回光,回雙眼之光 enlightment is "back light"- make your eye light go back to yourself 雙眼之光為陽,神火之灌注 your eye light is yang -- where you make your shen fire
  4. 玄牝之門The secret door

    There are many. For example, 方寸之中念深藏,I have written the post in my space about yellow court jin. 方寸之中 is the secret door.
  5. 玄牝之門The secret door

    I invited some of my students who can speak English to join an English QQ group. I created an English QQ group for all of you. If you have questions to ask students, you can join the QQ group. They can use their poor English to tell you. But their English might worse than me. Ha.
  6. 玄牝之門The secret door

    Many people ask me about the secret door. I told a lot and tried to say it clearly. But It is really hard to tell a person who has no the secret door what is the secret door. Therefore, I try to teach Chinese in QQ. I have taught for three years. Some students finally know what is the secret door. I learn this from my students. If you have no the secret door, you will never really know what is the secret door. It is useless to tell people what is the secret door. You must find out what is the right way to open the secret door.
  7. What is Immortality?

    If anyone want to know what is immortality, he should read Lankāvatāra-sūtra and yellow court jin. These two books talks about the immortality very clearly. How do we know the immortality by ourselves? First, we should give up the wrong concepts. The biggest wrong concepts is the secret door. If you think someplace in your belly is the secret door, you will have no chance to know what is the real secret door. Only the real secret door can lead you to have the immortality. The fake secret door only can make you breath.
  8. 玄牝之門The secret door

    性 is the direction, inside. 命 is the training, outside. We must train our chi to open the secret. and then training the secret door to open the 虛空 then the 虛空 will produce the tai-sian. Tai-sian is manomayaṃ kāyaṃ. If you open 虛空, you will know what Lankāvatāra-sūtra talks about manomayaṃ kāyaṃ. The one who opens 虛空 has the complete the different view of the world. If you don't know what is manomayaṃ kāyaṃ, please don't say you open the secret door. The secret door you called is not the real secret door. Your secret door is just a place of breathing. It is not secret at all. Therefore, training is 命. The right direct is 性. If you don't have the right direction, you will never have the chance to know what is the secret door. You will think the place to breathing in your belly is the secret door. But that is not true.You will be cheated by the chi masters.
  9. 玄牝之門The secret door

    The secret door is not in your body or in your belly. The secret door is opened by the chi. It is not a place to produce chi. Many chi masters said that the secret door is in the belly. It is wrong. The secret door is the place that can produce the light, not chi. It not belongs to any place of body. When you can see light, you just open the basic level of the secret door. The secret door is not only produce light. It has many situations. 漫守藥爐看火候 If you don't give up focusing on chi. You will never know what is the secret door. Why the secret door can make 真人immortality, because there is a process. And the process is very deep. deeper than chi. chi is very very beginning. Chi is for open the secret door.
  10. What is Immortality?

    We see the live and the death. Some people might want to know what is behind all?Anyway to being away from live and death? buddha and lao Zi told us there is a path. I would like to try it. To find out what it is going on.
  11. 玄牝之門The secret door

    When you open your real central channel, you will get into samadhi in a few seconds. You don't need a lot of time to cultivate your chi. When people need a lot of time to cultivate chi to go into samadhi, he must be a beginner. That is why I write so much here. Don't make yourself be a beginner forever. You can make a progress if you do some changes.
  12. 玄牝之門The secret door

    The third layer is the real central channel, the 虛空玄關竅 the empty stage of secret door. Anyway, anyone who want to know what is the central channel, he need to see light first. Because light is the beginning of the central channel.
  13. 玄牝之門The secret door

    There are many layers in secret door. Just like the central channel. They are the same. When you can feel the chi in your central channel, that is the most beginning. You can feel the chi turning, going up....etc. Though these chi moving in your central channel, it is not the real central channel. It is the right and left channels. When you get into Hun-Dun, you begin your second layer of central channel, the secret door. There are three stages in the second layer. In the layer, you don't have any feeling of chi. You don't have any feeling of your body, smell, sight, listening, and even yourself. The third layers....to be continued.
  14. 玄牝之門The secret door

    The central channel you open is not the real central channel. It is the right and left channel. Only the right and the left channel has the feeling of chi. When you still have the feeling of chi. It is impossible to open the channel. Only you get into deep samadhi, you can have the chance to open the central channel.
  15. 玄牝之門The secret door

    I only have one sentence. If you want to waste your time, that is your choice. You don't need to try to tell me you are right or wrong. And I won't read your post again. Because I don't want to waste my time.
  16. What is Immortality?

    Ithink the manomayakaya in the Lankavatara sutra is the immortality. The Tai-Sian 胎仙 in yellow court jin is the immortality.
  17. 玄牝之門The secret door

    I write this post to tell you not to waste too much time in breathe or MCO. We should get into the secret door as soon as possible. But I know it is not easy because many masters earn money by teaching chi. They will tell you to stop at the stage of chi. They don’t know what is the secret door. They come from the chi gong hot. We can not blam these chi masters. This is the only thing they can do. But we don’t need to be limited by them. We can go the right road. We don’t need to waste too much time in the body, chi. Chi is the door, not a root.
  18. 玄牝之門The secret door

    Breathe is the door to make chi. Chi is the door to open the secret door. 玄關 The secret door is the door to make 金丹.
  19. 玄牝之門The secret door

    I have wasted twenty years in training breathe. You want to waste your time. That is your choice. That is ok for me. The root of dan dao is not breathe. We can see it very clearly in dao de jin. I don’t think you are more right than Lao Zi.
  20. 玄牝之門The secret door

    When we can open the secret door easily and we stay in the secret door for a long time, it is not easy for us to make dreams. We barely have dreams in the stage. But if we keep our training on breathe, we still have dreams.
  21. People are interested in the issue. So let's write it down.
  22. What is the problem about Wu Liu?

    There is no location. If I tell you the secret door is in front of you, you will try to see it. But you can't see anything. And your chi will be disturbed. The basic secret door is the place which can produce light. The secret door will keep on changing when your training get deeper. The place which can produce light is just the begginning.
  23. 玄牝之門The secret door

    1. There are also two prenatal breathing. One is natural. One is man-made. Natural prenatal breathing make real MCO. Man-made prenatal breathing make fake MCO. 2. I don't quiet understand you. I try to translate the post. 玄關之後,祖竅裡的谷神之前是真性,真性的來源是真息,凡息不能開啓祖竅,但是胎息可以開啓祖竅,藏在祖竅裡面的胎息不會散開,當凡息調整的時候。當氣回到源頭的時候,生命變得沒有疆界。 I don't use 祖竅 this concept. I use 玄關 only. 谷神 is not 玄關. 谷神 is more deeper than breath, even true breath. breath is very basic. True breathe is very basic, too. When you can open 玄關 easily. Ture breathe become very basic. True breathe belongs to last stage. I have observed breathe for many years. Breathe is just for beginning. When you can open 玄關 easily. You will give up breathe in a few minutes. After Chi is 玄關. That is another world.
  24. 玄牝之門The secret door

    The real MCO will open the central channel. The central channel is the secret door. They are the same. The daoist is the same with the buddist.They just have different view.
  25. 玄牝之門The secret door

    What is MCC? 大周天? The turth is that we don't need a lot of Qi to open 大周天. We just need the right direction.
