browsing this forum I came across two examples of this;horse stance for 2 hours(shaolin)and full lotus for 6 hours, this is daily,to cultivate energy levels and get achivements. Where should I look for,books,courses,if i want bodily movements that have spiritual implications. just traditional asanas? Qi-gong? for example i read,that some asanas have to be done 3 hours,a day,for 6 months,for the full benefit.

I found two different and unrelated instances of buddhist monks not-sleeping.According to my info they really didnt sleep,as opposed to being short sleepers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seongcheol ttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webu_Sayadaw Is this true/valid? can practioners of yoga or qi-gong subdue the need for sleep(and if so;what do they replace the valuable experience of dreaming with?)

Im researching the spiritual effects of the cold(meaning:im reading but also icying myself with cold water as much as I can),the main line of thought is that it triggers a sort of ancestral memory from the glacial age of hunters.I also try to sleep with the window open, sleep bare-chasted,etc. id like to know if there are any historical precedents for spirituality of ice, i know some saints prayed while sitting in an icy river,for example.

I think this may be the right place to ask this: I once read a buddhist said that in some vajrayana circles,alcohol is known as "wisdom water";is there any truth to this rumour?

hello, I want to ask /inquiere about the Benefits of 1) medicine guru mantra,whether chanted or heard and 2)tibetan full prostrations. Even if I know im not supposed to think about it im interested in the Benefits of such a practice and the quantity required for them to appear on one's life(one lakh times? for example) i read a short pamphlet by a lama/guru who said the medicine mantra was a wish-fulfilling jewel;is this true?
