BOOK IS ( (ZHANG) ) XIAOPING. HE IS A 57TH GENERATION MASTER
OF WAN FA GUI YI GONG (A TYPE OF HEAVENLY BUDDHIST ART),
ANOTHER TYPE OF QIGONG.
ACCORDING TO ZHANG XIAOPING, ONCE
YOU MASTER THE BEGINNING AND INTERMEDIATE LEVELS OF THIS TYPE
OF QIGONG, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO PROLONG YOUR LIFE, HEAL OTHERS
WHO MAY BE THOUSANDS OF KILOMETERS AWAY, AND EVEN MOVE
OBJECTS THROUGH TELEKINESIS,
ZHANG XIAOPING CLAIMS THAT HIS
MASTER IS OVER 200 YEARS OLD, AND LIVES IN EMEI SHAN IN THE
SICHUAN PROVINCE.
HE SAYS THAT EVERY HOME SHOULD BE A
HOSPITAL, IN OTHER WORDS, EVERYONE SHOULD STUDY QIGONG AND
LEARN THE ART OF HEALING.
A. ZHANG XIAOPING REPORTS HIS QIGONG FREELY AND INVITES
PEOPLE TO WITNESS AND STUDY WITH HIM. HE DOES NOT ALLOW
PEOPLE TO RECORD HIS SEMINARS. ON ONE OCCASION, THREE PEOPLE
BROUGHT TAPE RECORDERS TO ONE OF HIS SEMINARS TO RECORD HIS
SPEECH. NONE OF THE TAPE RECORDERS WERE ABLE TO FUNCTION
DURING HIS SPEECH.
B. HE CLAIMS THAT AFTER STUDYING QIGONG FOR SEVEN DAYS YOU
CAN DEVELOP THE ABILITY TO HEAL OTHERS.

"METHODS OF HIGH LEVEL QIGONG DESIGNED TO TEMPER THE MIND
AND BODY" (CHAO GONG NENG XIU LIAN FA) (6389/0501/5174/
0208/NUMBER NOT FOUND/3127) WAS WRITTEN BY ( (XIAO)) MING
(STC: 2556/7686) AND PUBLISHED BY CHINA'S MEDICAL SCIENCE AND
TECHNOLOGY PRESS. THERE ARE TEN DIFFERENT KINDS OF QIGONG
MENTIONED IN THE BOOK.
YOU MUST STUDY QIGONG FOR
APPROXIMATELY THREE YEARS BEFORE YOU CAN BEGIN STUDYING THE
BI GU METHOD.
THE BI GU METHOD INVOLVES ABSTAINING FROM
FOOD.
THIS IS A VERY OLD METHOD OF QIGONG THAT EXISTED
DURING THE HAN DYNASTY.
ITS PURPOSE IS TO PROLONG LIFE,
MAINTAIN HEALTH, AND RAISE QIGONG ABILITIES.
A. AFTER THE INITIAL THREE YEARS OF PRACTICING QIGONG, YOU
CAN BEGIN ENGAGING IN THE BI GU METHOD.
DURING THE FIRST
THREE DAYS, YOU ARE TO EAT ONLY TWO MEALS A DAY. EVERY
MORNING YOU MUST GET UP BETWEEN 3:00 AM AND 5:00 AM, GET INTO
A COMFORTABLE POSITION, CLOSE YOUR EYES, PLACE YOUR TONGUE ON
THE HARD PALATE OF YOUR MOUTH, AND BREATH THROUGH YOUR MOUTH.
YOU MUST INHALE AND EXHALE BETWEEN 360 AND 1,000 TIMES. THIS
MUST BE DONE OUTSIDE AMONG THE TREES AND PLANTS.
THIS ALLOWS
YOUR BODY TO EAT THE "QI" WHICH IS PRESENT AMONG PLANT LIFE.
AFTER THREE DAYS, YOU MUST CUT DOWN TO ONE MEAL A DAY, AND
CONTINUE THE SAME PROCESS. AFTER TEN DAYS YOU WILL EAT
NOTHING.
B. THIS TYPE OF QIGONG IS NOT TO BE FORCED.
IT IS NOT A
STARVATION DIET. WHEN YOU MASTER THIS TYPE OF QIGONG, YOU
WILL NOT HAVE HUNGER PAINS, ON THE CONTRARY, YOU WILL HAVE NO
DESIRE TO EAT AND YOU'LL BE IN COMPLETE CONTROL OF YOUR BODY.

OF MAINTAINING HEALTH AND PROLONGING LIFE.
THERE
ARE MANY
DIAGRAMS AND EXPLANATIONS THAT DESCRIBE THE MOVEMENTS AND
BREATHING EXERCISES THAT ARE NECESSARY TO MASTER QIGONG.
QIGONG CAN BE PRACTICED WHILE STANDING, SITTING, AND EVEN
SLEEPING.

6. "THE HIGHER UNDERSTANDING OF QIGONG" (GAO GONG GUI WU)
(STC: 7559/0501/6311/1889) THE CHIEF EDITOR IS MR. ( (ZHANG) )
(STC: 1728) AND PUBLISHED BY THE CHANGCHUN PRESS. THIS BOOK
IS ONE OF AN EIGHT PART SERIES THAT IS PUBLISHED BY THE
CHANGCHUN PRESS.
THE BOOK FOCUSES ON A MASTER OF QIGONG
( (YANG)) HU. HE SPECIALIZES IN HEALING.
THERE ARE WELL
DOCUMENTED CASES OF HIM HEALING OTHERS. IN 1986, HE HEALED
( (MAO) ) ZEDONG'S NIECE, ( (MAO) ) YUANZHI.
SHE HAD AN
INTESTINAL INFECTION FOR OVER THIRTEEN YEARS, AND OTHER
CHRONIC PROBLEMS SUCH AS ARTHRITIS IN HER SHOULDER. THE
HOSPITAL WAS UNABLE TO TREAT HER ILLNESS.
YANG HU WAS ABLE
TO HEAL HER OF ALL OF HER AILMENTS IN ONE DAY. THE BOOK
MENTIONS MANY OTHER STORIES THAT PROFESS HIS ABILITY TO HEAL
OTHERS.
A. THE BOOK WARNS THE READER OF FALSE QIGONG MASTERS AND
STYLES.
THESE FALSE MASTERS TRY TO ENTICE PEOPLE TO SPEND
ENORMOUS AMOUNTS OF MONEY TO HEAL THEM OR TEACH THEM THE ART
OF QIGONG.
COMMENTS:
FIELD COMMENTS. THESE BOOKS HAVE STORIES THAT
MAKE INCREDIBLE CLAIMS. HOWEVER, A GREAT MAJORITY OF CHINESE
PEOPLE BELIEVE IN THE ABILITIES OF QIGONG AND OFTEN CALL UPON
QIGONG MASTERS TO HEAL THEM.
QIGONG IS AN ANCIENT CHINESE
ART THAT MAY MERIT ATTENTION.
THERE HAVE BEEN MANY BOOKS
WRITTEN ON THE SUBJECT AND AN INTERNATIONAL QIGONG CONVENTION
IS HELD EVERY YEAR.
ACCORDING TO THE QIGONG MASTERS, YOU
MUST FOCUS ON WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO ACHIEVE BEFORE YOU BEGIN
STUDYING.
THIS
HELPS YOU TO DECIDE WHAT STYLE OF QIGONG
WOULD BE MOST APPROPRIATTE TO ASSIST YOU IN ACCOMPLISHING
YOUR GOAL.
