Chi Kung Practice

Answered by Quan Yin messenger
(Originally in Chinese)

Q: Is it appropriate for practitioners of the Quan Yin Method to learn chi kung to heal people, or on the other hand, to receive therapy from a chi kung practitioner?

A: Our practice will not be affected if we learn chi kung to strengthen our physique only, for example, tai chi chuan, etc. Generally speaking, the so-called "chi kung," which supposedly cures illness, uses the intervention of outside spirits to generate some supernatural power that can cure diseases by stimulating the acupuncture points and by transmitting the chi. This kind of therapy, which belongs to magical powers, originates from our acts, speech and mind; thus, it will chain us within the three realms and keep us from liberation.

As a matter of fact, all kinds of spiritual energy already exist within us and there is no need to look for them outwardly. We, the practitioners of the Quan Yin Method, are searching within ourselves for the greatest, most primary, underlying Power, the most natural life-saving Power, in order to cure our disease of ignorance, which causes us to transmigrate life after life in the cycle of birth, old age, illness, and death. Therefore, there is no need for us to use those magical powers for healing illnesses, which inevitably will recur tomorrow or soon after being cured.

If we accept the therapy of these chi kung practitioners who permit the intervention of outside spirits and absorb the karma of other people, of course, we will be affected by their atmosphere, more or less. Because advanced practitioners are more sensitive, they will be affected to a greater extent. Master always reminds fellow disciples to silently recite the Holy Names at all times in order to protect the purity of their own magnetic field, and at the same time benefit other sentient beings.
