TianXian Posted April 11, 2010 me too my friend me too God Bless You Scarlet Wampus I belive that book is better than the others books out there that had take only pieces of that book Sure going to be one of my favorite, maybe even the most favorite, you see the Qi Gong Classic are good, but even when they are beautiful, they were for the student that had a teacher so he could understand the words in it So that is why i prefer the biographies. ps. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liexian_Zhuan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scarlet Wampus Posted April 11, 2010 Thanks. God bless you too Xian. Your enthusiasm is contagious. It'll be a week or so before I can get hold of a copy. I've come across lots of bits & pieces on the immortals but never read the biographies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TianXian Posted April 13, 2010 Good Day o dear friends, is so good to always see the goodness and not the negative that first came in mind, but of course to protect your body is a must, life is all. Yes i train only 2 exercises: Carrying the Moon Lifting the Sky I had been directly learn and get "hearth to heart trasmition" of these 2 exercises from my ex Sifu (teacher), Grand Master Wong Kiew Kit. These are parts of the Lohan Hands, i belive Carry the moon have Taoist roots. These are just beginning exercises to get the energy flow so, you can then go on advanced levels like abdominal breathing, small universe and big universe to get enlightenment. That is what i mean with high Qi Gong (though I don't know exactly how Master Wong Kiew Kit learned all these Qi Gong exercises, but some were from books other from his Shaolin Sifu's, Great Grand Masters. Regards PS. Any questions about these 2 exercises are welcome if you want! Bye, bye. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
