Today we have some news about the case. It seems the killings and harvesting of organs still happens https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/world-news/786329/china-organ-harvesting-london-tribunal-falun-gong

It is an interesting theory welkin. Thanks for sharing and congrats for getting at it. From this it follows that is important to work on hands, feet and head. Can you tell us what exercises you do for these "brains"? Actually I have cold hands, which i haven't been able to solve through all my qigong practice. And for sure this means a lot about the entire body

It seems great! But do it only when your boss is not around

In my case, what blows my mind is my mind. It is f... crazy this thing!!

You are right. Can you imagine all the degeneration, or at least all the rewriting, that has happenned throughout history? No matter if we talk about religious texts, old philosophical books, etc. I strongly believe that the texts we know today about these ancient writings is quite far away from the original. Interpretations always provokes this changes. And interpretation change in each generation, as each generation has its system of beliefs. Also, when translating texts this happens heavily. So if you think you can read an ancient greek philosopher, or an ancient christian text, you better think twice! All you will read is probably an interpretation of an interpretation... that's the way it works

Welcome and good luck with your tinnitus, I am fighting mine too, not an easy opponent!

I would also like to describe my experience with Flying Phoenix Qigong after one month of practicing the level 1. Previously I practiced fragrant qigong for 7 months, and still previously several other styles. Fragrant qigong was very powerful, but I think FPQG is still better. As another user said, it greatly improves your metabolism. I have always suffered from bad digestion, and I really feel FPQG helps with that. I also feel more strength in my whole body, and more energy throughout the day. I am focusing on doing bending the bows, and I feel it is a great exercise on several accounts. I also love holding the peach and wind above clouds. However the great benefits it has had on me, I must say that my tinnitus, which started some 8 years ago, has not improved, as it neither improved with the other qigong styles. But I hope it will improve with time and with other levels of practice, which I expect to begin soon. (I train every day around 1.5 or 2 hours) Thanks to Sifu Terry and to Earl Grey for sharing this great style!

Yes, it is inspiring

Maybe we can advice better books here

First book i ever read about it. Maybe it is not the best book anyway. Just that, general philosophy

Physical science will not console me for the ignorance of morality in the time of affliction. But the science of ethics will always console me for the ignorance of the physical sciences. (Pascal) I am much afraid that nature is itself only a first custom, as custom is a second nature. (Pascal)

"If one becomes conscious for half an hour, it is incredible what one can see and learn." ( Ouspensky )

Good advice for all of us. Can you tell us the name of the writer? Thks

If you need spiritual help read the dhammapada

You can try to stretch and move your whole body, especially those parts contracted. And don't forget to relax them well

I love this one : "Let God kill him who himself does not know and yet presumes to show others the way to the doors of His Kingdom." By the same author ( Gurdjieff): "If you wish to succeed in anything then ask a woman for advice and do the opposite"

Hi Thks for sharing. I will do it and give you feedback. It seems a very interesting set. When in Taiwan did you learn it?

Thanks Zhongyongdaoist for your recommendations. A quote from The Great Learning: "From the Son of Heaven to the common person, for all alike, refining the person is the root. That roots should be disordered yet branches ordered is not possible. That what should be thickened is thin yet what is thin becomes thick has never yet been so. [This is the meaning of “knowing the root.”]" And from the Zhongyong: “Thus it is that great virtue inevitably gains its proper position, inevitably gains its proper stipend, inevitably gains its proper fame, inevitably gains its proper longevity."

I also find him interesting. He has more articles on daoism. In one he discusses the importance of altruism in daoism. He knows the tradition well

In wind above clouds you do the % breathing before each repetition, right ? So you do the 3 deep breaths plus the % breathing at the beginning of every repetition, and the 3 deep breaths at the end of every repetition?

if he wasn't horny then that man is a god :D:D:P:P

Yeah, in the middle path lays virtue

I think we should take more seriously what buddhists and daoists teach: ideas and concepts are empty, and theories too. So we better forget them

very nice text, I didn't even know about it, thanks for sharing The form of the heart is Spontaneously full and replete, Spontaneously born and complete. It loses this form through care and joy, pleasure and anger, desire and profit-seeking. If are able to rid itself of care and joy, pleasure and anger, desire and profit-seeking, the heart returns to completion. The sage adapts with the times but is not transformed, follows along with things but is not moved by them. He is able to be balanced and tranquil and so he is settled. Not letting things disrupt the senses; not letting the senses disrupt the heart – such is called inner grasping.
