Jenny Lamb Q & A

8/10/2019 Jenny Lamb Q & A

1/33

Miss Lamb, could you please explain in short what the Namo A Mi Tuo Fo

mantra does within ourselves?

It is a great purification, great karma reduction, great healing, great self-

awakening, great achievement.

Does the mantra have to be said aloud Sifu Jenny or can it be intoned silently and

internally.

It is best spoken, it says in the sutra. Also, one day my Celestial master said to me

that they worshipped me. I said why worship me? You are the one to support me and help me

for healing others, why worship me? You have a mouth to chant, we dont.

Thank you Sifu Jenny. I just would like to ask: how to recognize a real teacher. I

have had confusing experiences with people teaching dharma and because of that I am

sceptical towards all teachers, but I am really longing to find one that I can really trust and

that can show me all the way to total freedom and compassion. How can I recognise such a

genuine teacher?

The pure heart provides pure intention, pure vision, pure devotion, and purededication. If your heart is not pure, how can you have a pure vision? To encounter a right

teacher is your karma, but you can create this karma with your pure intention, not your

judgment. How can you have a right judgment when your heart is impure? Even if you have a

chance to meet one, you will not be able to recognize him/her. You are too much self-

concerned with gain and loss. Be aware, it is not you who picks the teacher. It is the teacher

who is willing to accept you. All you can do is to create chances for yourself in an absolute

pure intention without selfish reasons or what you might lose. Without loss, you will not gain.

People with a pure heart, always one opportunity leads to another.

Thank you Sifu. I request as well that you let people know (if they have an entityin body), otherwise we may never know.

Things happening have their reason. Once I saw a student who was in my seminar

and was very sick because of an entity in the body. So I wrote to the student and told about

the entity issue, but the response was: I am quite upset, and wish that you hadn't saidanything. I learned my lesson. Not everyone wants to know the truth.

Hi Sifu Lamb, I was wondering whether you are able to help people who are faraway, such as myself. I am in Malaysia and unfortunately am not able to travel.

Distance is not the main issue. It depends on your condition. Of course treating in

person is more powerful and faster. Some severe conditions I have to treat in person. Others

can be done from a distance. It is still effective, but requires more discipline and cooperation

from patients. It may take a little longer. I have helped people from Europe. Faith, faith and

faith. Have faith in me and faith in yourself. You have to be willing to do whatever it takes to

help yourself. If you need my help, you can send me your information.

In the last year, I have noticed that most people whom I deal with on metals

toxicity issues also have parasite issues, and it is hard to see which came first, since the

parasites make you retain toxins, and the metals weaken your immunity to parasites. The

entities you speak of are obviously energetic parasites. Interestingly, the physical parasites

seem to create food allergies, which rapidly disappear when the parasites are eliminated,

much the same as the man you cite. It is frankly scary how this seems to be increasing.

For the physical parasites, there seem to be several causes, including failure to nurture your

central energy, plus, significantly, extensive electromagnetic pollution from our heavy

wireless and electronic usage.

The cultural aspects you mention undoubtedly fit into the picture as well. In regards to

psychic/energetic parasites (entities) you seemed to (maybe my interpretation) mention the

entities ability to fulfill the spiritual ego's need for experience of the fantastic as a entryway to

let them in.

This is often found in literature of magic, such as is the case of Aleister Crowley, who died

miserable and insane, though was highly regarded by some for his psychic adventures. It issaid that he went to see Gurdjieff late in life looking for help, and Gurdjieff dismissed him

quickly and said something to the effect of, "You are beyond help now." Can you talk on

factors that invite such being to take root?

The cause for the entity issues is very complex. What we know is still limited and

on the surface level, because each individual is different. While I am helping people, I am also

studying their commonality. The entities appear in different categories and under different

names:

Karmic creditors: those are related with karmic issues. In fact, everyone has karmiccreditors because of our cyclic existence we have lived. Everyone has to pay their

debts one way or another. That is inevitable. These we normally do not call entities,

rather by the name of karmic creditors.

This depends on your debts. Some karmic creditors are more harmful than others. The

harmful ones are those who are determined to go after you because of unpaid karmic

debts, especially related with a life you may have taken in the past. With this kind of

anger, no matter how long it takes or how many life times it takes, they will find you

and make you pay. They can be born into your family to destroy you, or cause you an

incurable disease and painful death, or attacking you when you are vulnerable, or by

any unexpected way to tear you down.


3/33

Encountered by accident: You are at the wrong place at the wrong time. Those often

appear as a sudden change to ones physical or mental health. This type is rare.

Move into a haunted house: Normally, if you just leave you will be ok, if the spirit isnot so wicked. But if you insist on staying, or fighting for it, or making a deal with it,

you will have trouble later on. Either you need to find someone very knowledgeable

and able to communicate with them and make them willingly leave or move yourself

out.

Invited: entities among practitioners are mostly invited. The wrong view provides an

opening or invitation for an entity to come. Today, people search for power in every

aspect. They study meditation, not for the purpose of enlightenment or to search for

truth or understanding of life, but for the power of sex, or to open the third eye, or toobtain magic to seduce people, or show off, or to contact aliens or I dont want to beanyone physicals student I can just ask the universe for a spirit to teach me, etc. Beingsuicidal makes you available for an entity as well. All kinds of quests without a proper

guide.

Invited entities are not ordinary entities. They were powerful practitioners in their past

lives but went the wrong way because of ego or were seduced by power and ended up

in the lower realms. However, their ability is maintained and they have a desire to

continue with their practice whether it is for getting out of there or for whatever

reasons. In order to do so, they need Yang to sustain their life span or the length of

their awakening time. In the lower realm, your energy and life force is very limited.

You have little Yang and cannot sustain it very long for practice. The past ability gives

them power to cross the realms to search for Yang. Humans are a great source of Yang

to them. By law, they cannot just take it without consent or a good reason. It will be a

crime as robbery and will carry heavy karmic debts. So they will exchange, by

offering you what you long for and take what they want. It suits perfectly for todayspractitioners. They give you eyes to see, they take your Yang to live and dominate

you.

The wrong view is the cause for this exchange to take place. Most people who have an

entity in them commonly deny they had any wrong thinking. Be aware, those powerfulentities can read your mind, even your subconscious mind. Therefore, practicing in the

wrong way is far more dangerous than if you dont do any practice.

Finding a right guide is crucial and beneficial for anyone who is seeking a spiritual path.

Would you please share your criteria for attending the healers training program, Iam interested and would like to know when it will start.

Many people are interested in my healers training program and want to knowwhen it will start and qualifications required of the students. I dont know when or if ever. I


4/33

let celestial masters choose. I teach seminars to draw interested people. I teach retreats as a

screening agent. To find 10 right people may be a wish too high, but if there is one right

person comes to the door, I will be there to serve. If you just want to be trained as a skillful

healer, take my retreats as much as you can as an opportunity. Every retreat will be a bit

different from now on. But to be qualified as a ready student is a different issue. I am not easy

to please. There is nothing you can offer me, other than your readiness, which will interestme.

Readiness:

1. First readiness: you are born ready, which means that you are after something life after

life. Your goal drives your determination and devotion. Your goal is your priority to

exist. Your action is compelled by subconsciousness. You create your karma.

2.

Second readiness: everything you do in this life enhances your readiness. When the

opportunity arises you will not miss it. Your goal drives your determination and

devotion. You will give up everything for that goal. Your goal is your purpose for this

life. Your action is compelled by determined consciousness. You change your karma.3. Possible readiness: conditioned readiness, which means if I am called for it, if I see the

signs, if I have time and money, if it does not conflict with my other plans and

schedule, if I dont have to give up my other hobbies, if it is not too much trouble, if Ifeel like it, and so forth Your action is compelled by a fluctuating mind. Youractions are swayed by your karma.

4. Unreadiness: You think about it, but its merely a thoughtand you never take anyaction on it or there are always obstacles preventing you from taking any action. Your

actions are compelled by your karma.

Most people (that are interested in a spiritual path) are in the third category. Only the first and

second categories of readiness count to be ready for walking on the true spiritual path. When

you are ready, everything comes your way. You are honest and humble. You have a pure

heart for all your passions. You have the ability to see your own faults. You are easily

correcting yourself and moving on with your life. Your priorities are straight. You are not

looking for personal gain to increase your individuality. You determine to change your karma

with everything youve got. You are willing to use every breath toobtain your goal regardlessof what comes. You are not bound by your personal issues or take anything personally. Your

compassion and loving kindness is unconditioned but wise. You are able to see and accept the

true as it is. You have a high goal. You are cultivating, cultivating and cultivating, regardless

of the outcome.

When you are not ready, you are the opposite of readiness. You have a lack of faith, have

doubts and regrets all the time, dont trust yourself or others, have a hard time to accept truthand want to live on your own fantasized ideals. You are unable to see your own faults but

complain about others for all your failures. You easily give up your effort for your goal. You

prefer phenomena to reality. Your six senses are all outward and unable to turn around.

Personal gains dominate your heart. You are always looking for results and returns and are

always conditioned in your actions. You can only hear praise not criticism. You dont reallyknow what you want. Your actions are dominated by your emotions. You are not truthful to

yourself. You willingly dwell on the illusions.

Everyone likes to hear the good about themselves but I am here to make myself veryunpopular. Nevertheless, I am not trying to praise anyone or disparage anyone, but simply to

share a truth for those who are longing to walk on the spiritual path. I do not mean to say that


5/33

one that is not ready for one thing, is not ready for anything. It is just a straightforward

response for those who have been asking me about readiness or want to know what my

opinion of readiness is.

Through my experience of teaching and healing, I am starting to be aware that even when one

wants to restore his/her health, he/she has to be ready for it. Meaning one has to set onespriorities straight and be willing to do whatever it takes.

Dear Sifu Jenny, I appreciate what you wrote above very much so. I think it istrue and well reasoned. My questions arise from wondering, what happens if you are in

readiness states (3=possible) or (4=unready)? How can you move yourself to a different state?

Is there any kind of (daily?) practice that can begin to prepare the student to move to a

different state of readiness? In gratitude and thanking you for providing sincere food for

thought.

Thank you for asking. To be able to move oneself up, the first thing is to be able to

recognize where you are standing and have a wish to move up. This wish is not an empty

thought but it carries determination and devotion.

The following is my experience to share as a student and as a teacher. Please do not take it

personally if you feel it offends.

1. Identify your true goal: A lower goal does not carry much weight in strength and

determination, reaching it or not does not impact your life that much. You naturally

care less whether you succeed or not. Any obstacles that appear can persuade you tocease your effort.

A true goal or a high goal motivates you. You know what you are really looking for

and why it is so vital to you. You are willing to do anything and give up everything for

it. You will not regret your effort whether it takes 10 years, 20 years or a lifetime. You

will not complain about others for your failures, because the path you chose is not

requested by anyone, or to impress anyone or win anything, but for the sake of

improving your own being.

2. Find a right teacher: A good teacher is vital to your success. It brings a light to shine

on your path. It can eliminate your wrong choices and shorten your path. But to find a

right teacher, who has knowledge, wisdom, and is willing to guide you on your path is

not easy. If you find one, put your trust in him or her and follow his or her instructions

without doubts or bargains.

Trust is a bridge for teaching. Without trust the true teaching cannot be transmitted. It

is not the teacher who does not want to help you. It is you who brings a full cup for

more teachings. How can you fit more in when the cup is full with self-righteousness

and doubts? Trust is a channel between you and your teacher. When the channel is

blocked nothing can go through. You can bring the same question to ask every teacher

you meet or anyone you know. If you are not ready to listen, you are no more than aspiritual shopper and not a true practitioner.


6/33

To be accepted as a disciple is not easy to achieve. It is not your apparent ability or

your title or your money that your teacher is interested in, but your fundamental

quality. That is your virtue and ability to let go of your ignorance and individuality. In

short, if you can be taught.

3.

Be humble when you ask for teachings and diligent with your practice: Humblenessand respect are essential qualities for being a student. On the spiritual path, if you wear

your title or education as a headband all the time, you will be left where you are. You

have to know that your title or degree helps you not at all and gets you nowhere on

this path. Humbleness opens the door for teachings. Diligent practice demonstrates

your dedication and devotion.

4.

Associate with right friends: Birds of a feather flock together. Associating with higher

goal friends can only lift you up. It benefits you with support, courage, strength, and

wisdom. You can learn from each other. Wrong friends drag you down with their

problems, lack of self-esteem, distress, depression and complaints.

5. Stop complaining and blaming, and let go of self-pity and regrets: In order to move up

to a readiness level, you have to be able to recognize your own faults and be willing tolet go and move on. The attitude of complaining and blaming others for all your

failures in life prevents you from admitting your mistakes and acknowledging your

ignorance, which blocks you from finding a way to change your karma. Holding self-

pity and having regrets all the time depresses you. It is not healthy and wastes time in

shame and sorrow. Regrets do not change the past, only proper action does. That is

moving on with your life without repeating your mistakes.

6.

Stop trying to take advantage of others or intentionally harming others: It damages

your own causal body. There is no advantage anyone can take, karma balances

everything. If some people try to harm you, let their karma take care of them. No need

to waste your breath. Live by following your principles and you will have no regrets

and live in peace.

7. Be willing to let go of self righteousness. The sign of success in practicing is how

much you are able to diminish yourself. To let go of self righteousness is a vehicle to

success, because self righteousness prevents you from seeing the truth as it is.

To recognize self righteousness can be a touchstone for insight practice. The degree of

self-righteousness can be observed through fluctuations of your emotions. How do you

respond to the things that you do not like to hear or are not ready to hear or are

opposite than your beliefs? Are you uncomfortable or angry or want revenge? If you

consider yourself a practitioner, this is your practice moment by examining your

emotions occurring from the ocean of your heart, whether it is a ripple, a small wave,or a surge. To be able to be aware, acknowledge, identify, accept and let go of it is the

key.

Practice is not limited to watching your breath on your cushion, but to carrying your

practice into your daily life. That is true practice. It is called 24/7 and will lead you to

the next level of readiness.

We are doing constant healings for the people of Japan as well as the rest of the

planet. So much happening now, just trying to stay centered and help people stay out offear.... interesting times. Would love to hear your perspective or an email update to everyone

from you about how you feel we can better assist others during these times.


7/33

Awakening Call

At this moment in time, what we saw happen in Japan should be a mirror to all of us. How

fragile our lives are. No matter how much you possess, how powerful you are or how famous

you want to be, everything can be destroyed in the wink of an eye. A catastrophe can happen

to anyone at any time. As an individual, we should not let the grief or fear dominate us, butshould let it help to liberate us from greed, hatred and delusion. We should learn from the

phenomena of nature to restore our spirits with compassion and loving kindness, to share

every moment we have with others, whether they are human beings or a life of another kind.

We should work together to protect our planet with love and wisdom, and learn to share and

live together in peace. May this disaster awaken a resolution to be a better person living in the

world and take on our duty to make a great contribution to humanity! May those who lost

their lives be reborn into a better world! May purifying our hearts be our primary practice, to

illuminate our world!

Just something that came to me, I guess it comes to every practitioner at some

point.... It has come to me many times. Simple answer could be keep practicing... I dontknow with any of the practice I am doing - if I am making any progress?

As a practitioner you have to have a goal and it has to be a high goal to give you

motivation to continue. There are times in anyone's practice when they don't know if they are

getting anywhere. You have to keep the goal in your heart and keep practicing anyway.

Without a goal, it's easy to lose strength to persevere. Practice should not just be routine. You

have to invest it with your mind and energy.

How does one know if one makes any progress or not? Check if your goal is fading away

from your heart or not. Are you healthier, happier or wiser? Are the people around you

inspired by you or not? Check my Q & A at my website about being a ready student as well.

From your Q/A section, "How does one know if one is making any progress on

one's path? Check whether your personal needs are getting less; your living style returns to

simplicity; your mind has no longer craving on your habits; your feeling is less extreme; it

becomes easy to let go of anything; you enjoy practicing generosity; you are less judging ofothers and have the ability to see your own faults; you are honest to yourself and to others;

and most of all that you have less ego. " Can you recommend any reading to support this inner

spiritual process?

The inner spiritual process is not the result of reading, but practice by living it.

Practitioner, in Chinese, is Xiu Xing Zhe, meaning one who corrects ones own(wrong) actions or behavior. My favorite book is "I Am That" by Nisargadatta Maharaj.

I was happy to speak to you today. I think what you're doing to heal people is the

most important thing you could do right now to serve humanity. I ask you to teach me to be a


8/33

healer - even if no one else is ready. I will come to you, every other week. I will cook and

clean for you, and pay you whatever you ask. I see such need in my own family, my own

community. I feel a longing every day to help people.

I do trust that you know better than I about what is needed and about how to proceed. But I

felt compelled to tell you what I'm feeling. There is a need that's not being met by our medicalsystem. I see it every day. I am doing the best I can for those who come to me, but I know that

I could offer much much more if I had a portion of your wisdom.

I know you're very busy with your work, and that you might not have the time to train me. If

nothing else, I'd appreciate it if you'd tell me what to read, practice, and study. I have a handle

on the information you've presented to us in your seminars and retreats. Is there something I

could be working on, besides doing yigong and the mastering the information on channels and

meditations you've given, to help me become a healer? I don't want to be an annoyance to

you, and I will accept whatever you decide with grace and ease. But I want to make clear my

intention to learn and serve humanity.

Thank you, Jenny, for the wonderful guidance you've given us, your devoted students. Much

love and respect.

I know you are serious and dedicated. But training someone to be a great healer is

not that simple by reading some books and doing more physical exercises. Both teacher and

student have to build a strong trust bond with their lives, and both need to put tremendous

time and effort toward this transformation. This healing training program will be offered one

time only. It is not my call to select the students. Rather, my celestial masters will bring 10

students to me. When will it be? I don't know. When we have ready students, I will do my

duty. The process of the program will be like washing gold from sand.

Be aware, this is not some side job to make extra money for the students. They have to be

serious and cannot quit. It is a lifetime devotion to serve humanity. I will help to assist

students to connect with celestial masters for healing abilities, but it is their merit and virtue

that attract celestial masters to support them. Please read my Q & A on "be a ready student"

on my website.

I have heard through the thetaobums forum that you are starting to train healers. I

was wondering about the following. I am an MD, getting some training in acupuncture and

recently did a workshop with Michael Lomax (Stillness movement) on medical qigong.

What does your training include? Is it meant as purely standalone training or can it be learned

in addition to other training one is undergoing?

Currently I am resident in Ophthalmology but plans are made for starting an alternative

oriental medical practice during the next 2 to 4 years.

My healer training course is nothing to do with MD or TCM. It is good to have a

medical background, but it is not necessary. Sometimes too much knowledge of schooleducation can be ones obstacle to knowing. My healer training is challenging of medical


9/33

science and to be able to treat incurable disease, cancer, or difficult problems, and especially

related with spirit issues, possession or haunted by spirits.

The qualifications for this training are that one must possess a pure heart and be willing to

serve humanity as a life duty. This is a job that one cannot quit. This is not something that

when you need money you take a job and quit when you dont. If ones actions are the resultof selfish reasons, one will not be protected from catching disease during the healing or willbe troubled by evil spirits when one encounters them. Only selflessness gives you courage and

fearlessness to help others. Only your compassion and selflessness will open your heart to see

the truth and also will attract divine beings to support and protect you. Otherwise, one will not

have such ability to achieve what I have described above, although you will still have a lot of

knowledge and skills to do healing work.

The main training includes constantly purifying our heart, diminishing self concern and letting

go of this individuality. Be able to go within and see within. Be able to make a transformation

in ascending to a higher spiritual level of the universe. Be able to see the world from a

different perspective. Develop the healing abilities. Have knowledge of cosmology. Knowinghow we can balance our life though proper living and using our food to heal ourselves, and so

forth.

Ordinary training obtains ordinary results. Whatever your other training is, if you are a healer

or Qigong master, if you cannot heal yourself, the value of your knowledge is very limited.

What you learn and what you become is related with your quality, your goal, your effort and

the source of your knowledge. A small heart has a small achievement. A big heart has a big

achievement. The quality of your nature determines the knowledge you can access. I am only

here to serve.

I heard that you are offering healing sessions to help people. Please let me know

how to go about getting such a session...

Yes, I am offering energy healing to help people. However, in order to help people

effectively, I have to know your case in detail first. Good energy work is not simply, as

people think, to put a hand on people waiting for an instant healing or an empty promise. The

healing process is related to many issues, such as Yin and Yang, time and space, energy,

knowledge of cosmology and so forth. Every condition and situation is different. Some need

causal body repair, or physical body repair, or Jing, Qi, Shen repair (in Chinese), or dealingwith spirits, etc. In order to help you, I have to know your full name, birthdate, where you are,

your illness and how long you've had it, and history of your health, because some health

issues are related to side effects from medicine taken for treating other issues. It would also be

helpful to have a recent picture of you. After I know your situation and condition, I will know

what will be involved in healing and will let you know how many sessions you need etc.

I have a client whose husband has IPF of the lungs. It is fibrotic cysts in the lungs

that grow rampant. He is on oxygen and slated for a lung replacement. The doctor says he willnot make it. They will be going to Ohio standing by for the lung replacement and I wanted to

tell her about you in case they wanted treatment. What do you think?


10/33

I will need more information about the patient with IPF. Such as the birthday, the

history of his health, the current doctors diagnoses and treatment, and most of all, if thepatient himself is willing to ask for energy healing. I don't want to treat those who do not want

to be helped or do not want to make any effort towards his or her healing. That is my

principle. It is also to respect the patient's wishes.

If he needs my help I will do my best to help him. But he may have to come to me. If he

cannot leave because of medical reasons, for instance, he cannot get out of bed or needs to be

hooked to a machine all the time, maybe it can be arranged for me to go to his home for the

treatment.

It is human nature that what comes easy is easy to go. For those make great effort, the result

will be great as well.

I received your DVD on Saturday and think it is wonderful. Thank you very much

for your efforts. I have a simple question (hopefully not asked before - I didn't see it): do you

have to part feet in between each of the Ten Essential Exercises, or if they are done in

sequence, can you just do it at the beginning and end?

It is designed to part and close feet for each movement. The parting and closing

feet movement itself is exercise for controlling the balance of the body. Not flopping over

without knowing. It also helps your mind to be aware of the details of how the body shifts

balance. If you prefer to do it at the beginning and ending that is fine.

I am a practising Buddhist, and i was wondering whether your yigong pratice was

compatable with mantra [i use om mani padme hum] and the white skeleton visualization

meditation.

I have to ask, because this mantra was incompatable with another type of qigong i was using,

but i've stopped using it now.

Yigong does not conflict with your Buddhist practice.

I already practice 8 pieces of brocade sitting and standing sets, is it okay for me to

also practice your spontaneous qigong along with my other exercises? The qigong i use now

is very basic, just stretching really, but i just want to make sure it is compatible with your

yigong system.

In general, I dont know all other practices, cannot make individual comparisonsand dont want to waste time on that. Life is short. Why waste time on every possible choice.Instead, choose one practice that works for you and stick with it, in order to use your limitedlife span to obtain the most benefit and achievement.


11/33

Of course, it is your own decision to choose whatever you want to practice. Please read my

comment on combining energetic practices from Q & A. Fundamentally speaking, there is no

problem to combine eight pieces of Brocade Qigong or any other basic practice with Yi Gong.

Remember the general principle, which is to drop what is harmful and keep what is beneficial.

I was just wondering about the energetic aspect of Yi-gong. I've been feeling this

incredible surge of energy in certain areas (mostly in the back, between the shoulder-blades).

The energy feels very "orgasmic". I was wondering if Yi-gong uses sexual energy or if not,

what is this strong surge of energy from? Why does it feel so good?

Spontaneous Adjustment Qigong, Yi Gong level 1, opens all channels if you

practice properly. All types of energy, sexual or not are produced from organs as the body

needs them for its own purpose and are transmitted through channels to reach the surface of

the body and produce emotions or feelings. Your having a blissful feeling is good, but itneither means the Yigong is using sexual energy, nor not using sexual energy. Yi Gong

focuses on develop awareness and wisdom. That should be your core of practice. Dont getstuck on a side attraction and lose the great goal. Look at the brightness of the moon, not the

fingers. Keep moving on to deepen your mind development. Thats the meaning of Yigong.

I am interested in learning how we might work together. I'm interested in Qigongfor health reasons. I am mid 60's age and taking no medications at all but recognize the loss of

energy and vitality. I have begun the practice of dantien breathing and noticed remarkable

results.

I am a Buddhist in the HsuYun/Linji lineage. My formal meditation practice is about 10 years.

I've studied and contemplated the "Zen" sutras and others and also have studied and

contemplated Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj for some time now. I have no doubts about the

validity of Buddha's teachings or the nature of being within the teachings of the Mahayana. I

am writing to you because I understand that you have a deep interest in Buddhism. I recognize

in your words the same essential understanding as I have of the nature of perception and of

mind. I think it would be helpful for me to study Qigong with someone who is familiar with

Buddhist terms and practices.

Previously I've looked into Qigong as it is understood in Taoist symbols and culture and I

can't make very much sense of the symbols as stated. My sources are limited to the teachers

available on line and in publications in English and in the US. I simply cannot figure out what

is legitimate. The problem for me is that I often seem to find that dualistic notions are being

pointed to as ultimate spiritual truth. I've asked for clarification and have either been

dismissed or found defensiveness. I really think that just a few words or pointers would clear

most of this up for me. It is obvious to me that Qigong is a dualistic practice and is one for

which clarifications can be found, however I need to be able to speak to someone who does

not confuse the non-dual potential with the dualistic practice. This seems to be a problem with

quite a few new Qigong teachers in the US. Not wishing to be critical, I'd really like to be able

to sort this out for myself.


12/33

The Chan tradition as I have been taught rarely ever address the physical body as much of a

door to awareness or higher samadhi. It is obvious to me that it is possible and I would look

forward to learning how this is practiced with Qigong. I am very satisfied with the Buddhist

meditation, huatou and awareness practices and am not looking for some other or better

spiritual practice. I am not much of a seeker of exotic experiences or states of mind

anymore. However if I am going to be doing this Qigong energy work for health reasons, Itcertainly does seem that they would be more effective if approached from the place of prajna

wisdom. Perhaps you could assist with the understanding for that? I do not ask for teaching on

your own tradition's spiritual practice.

Here is a quote from Yamaoka Tesshu (1836-1888) who expresses my understanding.

How heal the phantom body ofits phantom ill,Which started in the womb?

Unless you pluck a medicine from the Bodhi-tree,

The sense of karma will destroy you.

Even though Yamaoka may not have had Qigong in mind, it seems appropriate. I wish to

learn the particulars of how Qigong might be practiced more effectively as medicine from the

Bodhi Tree.

All methods are dualistic. There is absolutely no non-dualistic method. Anything

you perceive is dualistic. The important thing is for those who are searching for non-duality

should not to be caught by the idea of non-duality. Dualistic and non-dualistic are derived

from same source. To realize that you cannot find non-duality without being in the existence

of duality is crucial, because non-duality is not separate from duality.

Buddha-dhtu is non-duality, our mind is not. They co-exist in all of us. All sentient beingshave this intrinsic nature or Buddha-dhtu, which gives us a potentiality to reachenlightenment. When you let go attachment of all appearances, even the ideal of non-duality,

you are a Buddha, intrinsically pure. Dont looking for nyat from elsewhere, but theintrinsic nature is within oneself.

You use Yamaoka Tesshus verse to support what your understanding is or the way you wantto do Qigong, but I dont think that you understand what his verse means. It has nothing to dowith Qigong. He basically says that your body and its illnesses are phantoms, not real. How

can you cure phantom illnesses? Only by obtaining enlightenment (plucking the medicine

from the Bodhi-tree) can you escape your Karma. He speaks from an absolute point of view. Iwould suggest you to study two truths doctrine, the absolute truth and relative truth from

Buddhism, which gives you more sense of Yamaoka Tesshus true presentation.

In addition, Praj, wisdom does not only come from Buddhism, it can be found everywherein our daily life. Being a Buddhist should not separate ourselves from the world or dislike the

world, but to accept who we are, and try to be a better person living in the world. Whatever

reason makes you want to practice Qigong, try to make it simple, not complicate yourself and

mix it with a doctrine that you dont fully grasp.

Hello Sifu Jenny, I have a question about Celestial Masters. You refer to them in

the Q&A section of your website and I keep wondering what they are, so finally decided to

ask. At first, I figured they must be Taoist deities, but googling the term consistently brings up

references to a sect of Taoists from long ago. Is that what (who) you're referring to (i.e.,

deceased Masters from that sect)?

Ok, that was a head question, now a practice related one. I've been doing Spontaneous

Adjustment Qigong for two weeks now, and what I experience is nothing like what I see on

the DVD. I tend to spiral (arms), flop back and forth (legs) and generally jerk about with

rather spastic movements, sometimes at an alarming rate of speed. I know you've repeatedly

cautioned that everybody's experience is unique, but I was wondering if this might be just a

beginning, temporary phase. I'm not really worried - it's just what my body seems to want to

do (also have had some emotional content come up) - but I thought I'd check since I was

writing.

One other thing. Regarding writing, there's nothing above that I NEED to get an answer to,

and you are probably getting LOTS of emails with the release of your DVD, so if you'd rather

I write only when (if) absolutely necessary, I will definitely understand. Just let me know.

Really.

The Celestial Masters what I referred to are not deceased Masters from a Taoist

sect, but celestial beings (Tian Ren) from the Gods realm and some beyond that. There

are six realms described in Buddhism. There are Gods, demi-gods, human, animal, hungry

ghost and hell realms. The deceased masters from Taoism may be called Xian Ren , if he

or she reached the Xian Jie(the land of immortals according to Taoism. However Xian

Ren is not really immortal). Xiu Dao Cheng Xian (to cultivate the Way tobecome an immortal) is commonly a goal in Taoism, but not necessarily is it the only goal.

The cultural ideal or expression is very difficult to translate from one language to another. To

know it properly, you may need to dive into the culture in order to fully understand the truth

behind the beliefs.

Yes, the movements happening to you are the beginning stage. It will change accordingly

throughout your progress. There is nothing to be concerned about if you feel benefit from the

practice. Movement is movement. It doesnt matter how it looks. Theimportance is whatworks for you, helps your healing and improves your wellbeing. Be patient, have faith in

yourself and keep the perseverance in your practice. You will have a great discovery from

your own experience.

Yes, I am very busy, especially, when I am doing my healing work. I want every treatment

that I do to be successful. Success depends on concentration and devotion, even when one

knows what to do. Please only ask questions related to your practice when absolutely

necessary.

Hello Sifu, I am very interested in your Spontaneous Adjustment practice. I have

not looked into the Kunlun craze because I do not get a good feeling from Max. Sorry to even

bring that up. But I do get a good feeling from you, and I trust that your system is what you

say it is. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.


14/33

My questions are, how does your system fit into the Alchemical processes described in books

like "Nourishing the Essence of Life" by Eva Wong and "Secret of the Golden Flower"? Is

Yigong the same as Neigong/Internal Alchemy? Is it a part of this process?

Also, can your practice be used along side Zen meditation?

And finally, would I be able to practice this just from the DVD? I would love to take a

seminar or retreat, and as you say direction from a teacher would be invaluable, but I do not

have the time or money right now to travel. Would the DVD be a step in the right direction at

least?

Thank you for having trust and faith in me, but please dont bring other people intothe discussion in the future. Try to be always in harmony with ourselves, with others and with

surroundings. That is part of our practice.

I cannot compare the Yigong system with others books. I dont do spiritual shopping andcomparison. I am sure they are all great. Yet, life is short, why waste it on shopping, not

practicing, when you know what you have is of immeasurable value. Yigong is not only

nourishing, healing, purifying ones life, it contributes to ones spiritual ascent. Yigong worksfor me and contributed to who I am today. I appreciate all my lineage masters who developed

and passed down this priceless system to me.

Yes, you can practice along with your Zen meditation. Remember, meditation should not be

limited to the cushion. In fact, the spontaneous adjustment Yigong is a moving meditation. In

Chan (Zen) tradition, a master often sends his students to work in a field to do meditation

through their work. That is called 24/7 meditation.

Yes, you can practice Yigong starting with the DVD, it contains enough information for

pointing you in the right direction. Of course, a live teacher will be the best choice.

Does your spontaneous qigong open up all the energy channels of the body?

I need a system that will open all the channels, to help my meditation. Because as master

William Bodri says:

'When you cultivate meditation, you want to reach samadhi. You cannot reach samadhi unless

your chi mai all open. So, many methods have the purpose of helping you clear your chi

channels.'

Does your spontaneous qigong open up all the energy channels of the body?

Spontaneous adjustment Qigong does open up all the channels. Of course, the

probability depends on ones own effort. Anyway, samadhi should not be the goal ofmeditation. Samadhi is just a tool to help generate wisdom. Wisdom helps to lead to

enlightenment. Enlightenment is the goal.


15/33

If I may ask, does the Maoshan lineage interact/ally with the nagas? And if so, are

they just a part of the 'spiritual' side of yi-gong, or are they part of the system as a whole? I

was curious as I remember seeing the book "The Return of the Serpents of Wisdom" book

posted on your Facebook wall at one point and its mention of the nagas. Hope you are well.

I dont mind answering peoples questions, when I have time and if my answer canbe helpful to contribute their studies. But I dont want to encourage people to go on and onwith a question that leads them nowhere. I want to give them a guide to be able to search

within, that makes my help meaningful. My advice for you is to stop caring about what is

irrelevant to your practice. Otherwise, you will always be walking horizontally with six

limited faculties. It gets you nowhere. Find a way to walk vertically, to see more and know

more.

Thanks for the reply. I am not sure I understand your perspective concerning myinquiry. My question was mine, and concerned my individual experience. Besides being the

only question concerning the practice that I have asked you, I also did not go "on and on" with

that question as I only wrote you once about it, and then clarified why I was asking it in the

first place. My concern was obviously very relative to this practice as the dream (which was

unusual to say the least), which was specifically related to the question I posed, had disturbed

me enough to sideline my study of yi-gong; and all I was looking for was a bit of reassurance

about it. It is unreasonable to expect someone to stop 'caring' when an experience directly

impacts their life. But it is your prerogative to interpret my question any way you wish. Good

fortune in your travels.

I hope that my answer did not upset you. Please do not take it personally. You didnot ask a direct question. First, why do the Nagas have anything to do with your Yigong

practice? I never mentioned anything about Nagas through my teaching. Second, in your

original question, you did not say anything about your dream, and why it disturbed you. Later

you mentioned a dream but gave no details about it. If you need my help, because you

dreamed Nagas that impact your life, you have to say so, so that I know what you are talking

about. Not just a random question about Nagas. You stated that 'I was curious as I remember

seeing the book "The Return of the Serpents of Wisdom" book posted on your Facebook wall

at one point and its mention of the nagas.' I didn't post the book on the site and know nothing

about it. I do not want to encourage curiosity for curiosity's sake. If you are concerned about

your practice and want reassurance, make it direct and understandable.

I said that "I dont want to encourage people to go on and on with a question that leads themnowhere", because "I want to give them a guide to be able to search within". I did not mean

that it was you going on and on with your questions. It was a general statement about

wandering mind. I spend time answering people's questions not only hoping to help the

person who asked the question, but also to benefit others who have similar issues. Sharing is

generosity. I'm sorry if I have not been very helpful to you.

If you want a more specific answer about Nagas in your dream, I need to know more about

the dream and why it affected you.

If you want to keep your question and my answer for yourself, let me know. Otherwise, I may

put it on the Q & A section on my website. It is good to share. It may help others to ask direct


16/33

questions, if they want to be helped. No worries. I only share questions and won't show your

name.

Hi Jenny. I purchased your DVD - it's great. I have a few questions about the"Spontaneous Adjustment" practice:

1.

Can this be a daily practice? If so, how long would you recommend practicing each

day? 30 min, 1 hour? Is it possible to practice too much?

2. Is the practice "hard" or draining on the kidneys? If so, should I be doing additional

practices to strengthen the kidneys?

3. Where does the energy come from to power this practice? Is it internal energy - i.e.

Jing? or is it the universal Dao energy?

4. Before purchasing your video, I had read Max's book. I know that the the Kunlun 1 is

different from Spontaneous Adjustment Qigong, and I assume that it's because of the

close down - putting right palm over belly, and left hand on top. Is it correct that

Spontaneous Adjustment Qigong does not do this? We just root the energy to the

lower Dantien and that's the close?

5. Would you recommend doing tonification exercises first and then doing Spontaneous

practice, or does it not matter?

1.

It can be your daily practice. As for time, 30 minutes to an hour is a good length for

routine discipline. However, there is no strict rule for making progress with a time

table. Your body will let you know how much is too much or enough practice.Sometimes, you may find yourself deepen into a state of subconscious awareness for

hours, but it feels a moment to you. You lose a sense of time and space, but awareness

stays alone.

2. The practice is not hard on the kidneys. On the contrary, it balances the kidneys and

all the other organs.

3. The energy does not come from elsewhere but your body itself. Of course, you are not

separated from the world, but a part of the world. I suggest you to do your practice in

order to get first hand experience.

4.

Bring your mind to Dantian to store your energy there in closing. If you follow the

DVD and do all the practices its only necessary to cover your belly at the end, not

after each practice. Men left over right and women right over left. The inner handeither covers navel or lower Dantian. Either way is fine.

5. Spontaneous practice is purification and tonification. When youve purified yourselffrom unwholesome energy, what fills you will be the energy that strengthens and

tonifies you.

I have one questions if i may about my yigong practice. I practice the sitting

spontaneous adjustment twice a day. Twenty minutes activation posture [holding a ball, heels

raised] and then ten minutes sitting rebalancing, then all the tapping etc. Usually somewherebetween 15 and 20 minutes in activation my kidneys begin to ache, sometimes bad. My

chinese doctor says i have weak kidney chi [long before i begun practicing yigong]. I was


17/33

wondering whether that ache was a sign of healing or something negative. I had the idea that

the blissful/warm feeling generated by the yigong practice was caused by activating the

original chi [yuan chi], or some other chi related to the kidneys, and that possibly this was

weakening my kidneys further.

I have decided to move my dinner time to about 4pm so that i can practice during the kidneytime [5-7pm] in a hope of strengthening them.

Would love to hear your input on this.

You have a kidney deficiency. If your practice does not make you feel better it

may be because your kidneys are so weak you cannot handle any effort. I suggest you to take

calm and restful nourishing methods first, such as: food therapy for nurturing Yang, make

sure to get enough sleep every night and limit your sex or stop sex for awhile until your

kidney is in a healthy condition. When you have no sign of back soreness when you bend

from the waist and dont have to urinate so many times at night, then you can try to practiceagain. See if it makes any difference.

A practice affects everyone differently. In the same way, how each one responds to the

practice will be different as well. It depends on ones health condition and bodys abilitywhether it can generate healing energy and repair sick cells quickly or not. Sometimes, you

may also want to consider taking some energy therapy or treatment first, if your ability for

recovering grows slower then you expected.

Hello there Sifu Jenny. I received my DVD and I'm really excited about it. Just aquestion though... How long do you recommend doing the Spontaneous Adjustment Qigong

pose for? When I sit in the posture, my arms tend to tense up and I hold the posture very

short. What length of time do you recommend starting off with?

Also, I am curious to know if Spontaneous Adjustment Qigong can help with rejuvenating the

Glandular System?

For the "holding the ball" time, there is no fixed time. It should be held until you

begin moving automatically. It could be less than a minute or you could stay in the initial

position for the whole period. The practice affects and responds to everyone differently. For abeginner, I would suggest to practice at least 30 to 45 minutes.

If you notice your arms tensing and getting tired, try to relax your body, especially all your

joints. Start from shoulders and move down to your elbows, wrists and fingers. The most

important thing is that you have to relax your mind. Letting go all the thoughts. Movements

arise after you empty yourself. Yin and Yang are co-existent. Moving and stillness are co-

existent. Without stillness there would no moving and without moving there would nostillness. When the still phenomena become exhausted, the moving phenomena arise and vice

versa. So don't worry if you are not moving in the beginning. Just keep with it. Keep yourself

as witness, not affected by the motion and change, pleasant or unpleasant. Just be aware of

whatever happens.


18/33

Spontaneous Adjustment Qigong has so many benefits, if it is practiced properly. Remember

the principle of adopting any practice, to keep what benefits you and drop what does not. For

all the benefits it has to wait for each individual to make his or her discovery.

I'm sure i read somewhere that you often get asked what is your level 2 qigong.

You said that most people do not complete level 1 in their whole lives, so do not worry about

level 2.

I was just wondering what are the signs of successful completion of level one?

I believe what I said is that level one is all you need. I have not seen a limitation of

level one, so cannot put the word of completion on it. If you mean to ask what is the

qualification for level two? Read my answer for being a ready student. Otherwise, knowing

the form of level two or three is completely meaningless.

Without being ready, ones heart is not opening. There is no way one will be prepared for anyteachings. Great teaching is offering truth. The truth may not be something one wants to hear.

Without humbleness, its easier for people to embrace self-ego than to take a greatopportunity to diminish it. Recently, my honest answer did not satisfy someones ego. It madehim so angry. It makes me realize the meaning of what my celestial master said to me, yourtradition will end at you

A question for you: For those of us that have shift-work (I sleep during the day

and work 11pm-9am), does your "Time, Channels (Meridians), and Organs CorrespondenceTable" still apply, or does it shift to be in rhythm with our sleeping/waking schedules?

Thanks!

The Time, Channels and Organs correspondence table is not my table but the table

of human body correspondences with the universe. For those who have to work and sleep odd

hours, does not mean your body organs action will adopt your sleep pattern spontaneously.

Our body has limits for how long it can endure such upside down life style. To live this way

too long can only exhaust your life force speedily. It is not a healthy way to live.

Look at those sports with energetic physical exertions. The athletes can only participate in

them when they are young. After growing older they have to give it up professionally,

otherwise it will shorten their lives. I suggest that you watch your health closely. If it affects

your health rapidly to the downside, think about changing your job.

As tradition Chinese medicine is based on harmonizing the human body with one's natural

element, which means to flow with the universe, our body has Yin-Yang cycles that reflect

the Yin-Yang cycle of the universe. We cannot change who we are, but we can chose to live

our life wisely and healthily.

Im a student of Max (kunlun or the spontaneous neigong). Since past 2 months,my practice kind of introduced you to me. And its been continuous, so i thought of writing to

you.

It all started in late august, when i would take up the posture on your site...hands wide

apart...and sitting. This connected me to some higher realm energy...i could feel many masters(or whatever name is appropriate) and then it was like an introduction to you.

I saw you. Since then, whenever i do just level 1 i.e. spontaneous yi gong...i see you kind of

guiding me (if i understand it correctly).

First of all i thank you for that.

Yesterday the experience moved to a new improvement. The emptiness lasted like forever &

then i kind of lost sense of my body. My consciousness was still there but i hadn't had any

body. I was still there...but i felt like consciousness floating around...without the constraints of

our physical body. Could see emptiness all around...i saw you again then....and then i became

you for smtime...soon my mind realized that m not you...the form changed & i became my

wife...and then slowly back to myself...i became me.

then there were few clicking sounds in my head as if something going on...felt like my third

eye opening (which i have been delaying for quite smtime)...then did lil prayer to gods to give

me wisdom before opening anything so tht i can handle it...clicking died down in smtime....

Afterwards i closed down (left over right hand) for 20mins...but wasnt still back fully...again

closed (right over left) this time..and i was back fast & felt grounded :-)

Are you consciously guiding me Or is it just the lineage energy who guides me taking your

form? It's okay if you feel you shouldn't answer.

Yesterday's experience inspired me to write to you.

Thank you for your email. I would like you to take all the phenomena of your

experience as an illusion. Let go of all the wondering and move on with your practice.

I have some questions that I am hoping you might shed light on for me.

I have been a students of Max's for a few years now. practicing Kunlun regularly. Daily infact

for about two years. what is happening now is that I feel the Kunlun energy almost constantly.

I have been practicing without the posture because it seems to happen anyway. My question is

about he benifit or need to practice for a particular length of time.

I no longer do an hour its more like 15 to 30 minutes at a time. I wonder if ive reached a

platue I mean I feel the sme things mostly and it never realy changes. I dont want to "try to

hard" as that seems to be the oposite of what its about. But I do want to grow and progress....

I did the Facilitator training with Max and am begining to share the practice with others in my

comunity.


20/33

is the result of pervasive effort on diminishing self-ego, which means practicing letting go is

the direction, all day long, 24/7. Letting go of this individuality is to let go of self-desire, self-

power, self-profit and self of everything. Spirituality is not to gain what you are longing for,

riches, fame, power, or knowledge to satisfy ones ego, and so forth, but to reach the highestattainment ones life can be. That is fully awakening.

Many people believe that they are ready for training. Commonly they do not know what the

training is about. They are longing for the highest attainment but do not want to let go of the

attachment of self desire. They want all. As a matter of fact, often their actions speak their

impurity and not readiness at all.

How does one know if one is making any progress on ones path? Check whether yourpersonal needs are getting less; your living style returns to simplicity; your mind has no

longer craving on your habits; your feeling is less extreme; it becomes easy to let go of

anything; you enjoy practicing generosity; you are less judging of others and have the ability

to see your own faults; you are honest to yourself and to others; and most of all that you have

less ego.

I have a question relating to my daily practice, I am wondering if you have any

words of advice on how to balance determination in maintaining a daily practice while also

being spontaneous and not becoming to rigid in trying to force a regular practice schedule into

a hectic life schedule?

This has been my greatest challenge lately, finding the will to practice every day while also

keeping up with all the responsibilities of work, family, and home, while not being too hardon myself when responsibilities take up all 18 waking hours of the day and I cannot practice.

Practice should not be limited to your chair or cushion. Even you have time and

can dedicate yourself an hour a day to your routine practice, you are still one hour against 23

hours a day. What are the odds for you to accomplish anything? For Yigong practice, the

mind training, you are practicing as you are living. Pay attention to everything that you are

doing, be aware of your thoughts arising and of your decisions and choices. Practicing letting

go of your attachment, relax your body and mind, trying to carry out awareness 24/7 as you

live, this should be your goal of true practice. When you can, you can refresh yourself with

spontaneous adjustment Qigong practice with full self involvement (body and mind), relaxed

and no hurry. Otherwise, the forceful routine with exhausted body and rigid mind will notproduce a high quality of practice, which is meaningless. Your practice should lead you to

self-realization.

Sifu Jenny, Why do you never speak of bliss in your Yi Gong seminars?

I did not mention bliss because I do not want to encourage or mislead people to

take a momentary pleasant phenomena or experience as the goal of ones practice. Theessence of Yi Gong is to develop awareness. Without awareness, it is not Yi Gong. Bliss is aside effect of the practice. There is no reason to attach to a momentary happiness and make

that your goal. It is best not to attach to any momentary phenomena whether pleasant or


22/33

unpleasant. Experience comes and experience goes. People should have a higher goal for their

practice. Let developing wisdom be ones primary focal point.

Thanks Sifu Jenny. In terms of Buddhist practices, would you term Yi Jong asleading to Shamata or Vipassana or more of a cleansing technique? Do you also advise a

Shamata/Vipassana kind of routine with Yi Gong?

The first level of Yi gong has three main aspects: Purification, Developing

awareness and Teaching. It purifies one's body and mind or, as you put it, has a cleansing

role. It develops awareness and for that aspect it is similar to Shamata or Vipassana. It is a

teaching tool, because it is a formless form and is always manifesting according one's stage of

body, mind and spirit development. It gives you knowledge of the function of each

movement.

You could, if you want. You can combine your Yi Gong practice with your daily meditation,

whether it is Shamata or Vipassana.

Many people on Taobums have been practicing from the book alone. I was going

to write this there but would like to make sure it is ok with you first. Please let me know if

you would like to say anything else or correct what I have written. There is a thread talking

about showing the spontanous practice or what may happen afterwards. And I wanted people

on Taobums to be clear about your thoughts on this.

Thank you for your kindness and wanting to share your thoughts with others on

Kunlun practice in the Taobums forum. I do not have time to get involved with peoplesdiscussion on Kunlun practice. Ive only taught Spontaneous Adjustment Qigong to a verylimited group of people, which is now worldwide known as Kunlun practice level one. If I am

wrong, please correct me.

I shared my knowledge and experience with those who came to me for knowledge. I did not

write a book about this practice. As you asked about whether people should just learn the

practice from the book of Kunlun, I sincerely suggested that those who are interested in

learning Kunlun practice, go to Max, who wrote the book. I do not suggest that people startingKunlun practice from the beginning use the book alone. The reason is simple, as a beginner

you need a proper guide. A good teacher can benefit you in many ways, such as clear your

doubts, answer your questions, correct your movements, and so forth.

Each individual is different. A good doctor will not prescribe the same medicine for all of his

or her patients, no matter how good the medicine is. I cannot urge anyone enough to consult

with your teacher, whoever taught you, whether in person or the book. Kunlun practice is a

formless form, itself evolving. Letting an experienced teacher guide you is necessary. It can

help you to reach your goal of self-healing, self-discovery and self-realization faster. You do

not need to rely on your teacher all the time. It is your own journey. A teacher can merely

point a direction. The path is yours. It is under your own feet. Only you can make adifference. Good luck with the practice.


23/33

I really dont consider Spontaneous gong useful (for me, I learned from anotherteacher) and Ive never received any results from it but Id like to hear more from Jenny. Doesshe teach anything else?

Spontaneous Adjustment Qigong is not for everyone. Especially, one should notexpect an instant spontaneous miracle. It may happen to others but may not happen to you.

Holding high expectations and competing with the results of others is not a good way to go.

Sometimes it becomes an obstacle for you. On the other hand, a pre-existing judgmental mind

can only block ones ability to manifest ones own natural healing and receiving benefits fromit. Take your time, be patient, open yourself up to it if you want to give it a chance. An insight

experience will lead you to a deep understanding. There is a reason why the highest practices

are not commonly accessible. It is not merely because it is held in secret but rather it is not the

right person to receive it. The right teaching or practice, right time and space, right mind, right

effort, and right connection between teacher and student inevitable affects ones path andattainment. A proper guide is incredibly important, but it is ones own responsibility andchoice whether one wants to open up to it and has the ability to digest it. Readiness holds the

key for any practice or path. Merely judging by appearances may fool you.

I teach many different techniques and practices as well, but fundamentally speaking, it is for

sharing my understanding with those who are serious for their practice and to help them to get

ready for finding their own path.

Does Jenny say (like Max) not to combine Kunlun with other

energetic/kundalini/upward flowing practices? I dont mean practiced one after the other butmore like one in the morning and one in the evening?

For any higher level of spiritual or energy practice, such as Yi gong (or you may

call it Kunlun), it is its own complete system, designed to achieve its highest attainment.

There is no reason one should mix it with others, especially when one is not knowledgeable.

More methods dont mean a faster result. If you believe this practice does not suit you, findone that does and stick with it. Generally speaking, if you throughly understand one you will

understand all.

Different systems of energetic practice sometimes may conflict with each other, because the

goal and the design to reach the goal are different, just as different herbs have healing power

but can cancel each other out if using them at the same time. You do not want to see one

practice cancel another.

My suggestion is, if one finds a practice that one is comfortable with, has faith in and has a

good teacher to guide one, that practice should be ones best choice to stick with it. Windowshopping in spiritual or healing practices is fashionable today. However, just because there is

more accessibility to any practice does not make one know more. Direct experience is the

result of perseverance. To stick with one system is a wise choice. A good system, one door

should open all doors. No need to waste time going back and forth. For beginners, if onewants to combine common practices into your main practice, such as stretching, opening

channels, yoga, martial arts and so forth, it could be very helpful, in fact, to improve your


24/33

main practice. The basic rule to follow is, if your practice causes you harm you should stop it

right away and consult someone with more knowledge. A good practice should lead one to a

healthy body and wise mind. It improves ones life in positive ways, not the opposite.

How do these teachings relate to the red phoenix practices?

Yi gong is not related to the red phoenix practice.

Thanks for all the posts on the development of this school of philosphy.

I still would like to understand what it means when Chinese President Hu Jintao exchanges

formalities with Taiwanese President Ma Ying-jeou.

I have no idea.

Does Jenny give you a transmission, and is there a lineage of Masters with Yi

gong?

Yi gong has a lineage of masters and a history. It is not my decision to revealthem. When the time is right it will come out.

I do not give any transmission as most people think of it, as a transmission of supernatural

power or power to permit you to practice. If there is a transmission from me, it is

unconditionally offered to those who are willing to take it, and is transferred through my

teaching. That is, to believe in oneself. Everyone has natural power to heal and wisdom to

manifest. The problem is people do not commonly trust or have faith in their self, or have

ability to access it. The blockage is a door only you can open, if you know how and believe

that you can. If you dont know how, but believe you can, you will find a way by being agood listener, a good observer, and a good actor who takes action on their beliefs.

The power that is not yours will not last. What can be given, can also be taken away. Hence,

to rely on oneself is better than to rely on others. Therefore, a wise one tries to understand

about oneself. There are many ways to do that. For instance, there is outer and inner access.

One can try to understand oneself through understanding the universe, since the micro

(human) cosmic is the epitome of the macro (universe) cosmic. By observing the universe one

sees the natural law that corresponds with oneself, so that one knows how to live ones lifeaccordingly. Or one can deepen into insight meditation, in order to understand who am I, what

am I. Traditional Chinese medicine has collected lots of knowledge of natural phenomena,

which can help one to know oneself better, if that is what you want. These traditional healing

methods are more earth grounding.

Looking for celestial masters or beings to come to teach you is harder than winning a lottery.

It is not very practical if you put all your stakes in it. You can try, but dont be attached.


25/33

Otherwise you will be heartbroken. If there are celestial masters to teach, its unlikely that youcan choose them, but they will decide who to choose. Ask yourself, do you have the qualities

of determination, dedication and a pure heart?

Your discovery more likely comes from most unexpected ways. If one pays attention to ones

daily life closely, one may be surprised that teachings are actually pervading in everythingand everywhere. They are waiting for you to discover them. A startling story may attract

attention but only what benefits you is what counts and will be everlasting.

I have read here (on Tao Bums and in reference to Kunlun) that traditionally a

master whispered instructions for this practice through a bamboo shaft to students, and the

students where then sent off for seven years to practice it alone Does Yi gong requireguidance from a master? I heard Jenny has been busy with school and writing a book, will

Jenny be available to provide guidance, or answer any questions if needed?

I will not comment on anything that does not come from me. Proper guidance is

always good for any Qigong practice, especially when it has a complete system. I will provide

sufficient knowledge to support my teaching. My teaching emphasizes the knowledge of

Chinese medicine, philosophy, healing, providing proper guidance for practice and answering

any questions related to my teaching.

Will Jenny detail all levels of Yi gong in her book? Will she be teaching Level II

and Level III in the future as well? With Kunlun I heard that you can move onto the different

levels after 6 months of practice so, in two years Ill have completed all three levels. Do Ineed to attend another workshop for each level, or will my body naturally move onto the

different levels without instruction?

A fixation on anything is not good, because it is rigid and does not correspond

with the individual situation. Our world of duality is based on individuals and their network

with everything else. There is no fixed time that a person should practice each level. How one

develops is unique to each individual and depends on their nature, determination, etc.

Someone may be ready for the next level in a few months and another may take years or

never be ready. Rushing to all levels does not help ones practice or knowledge. On thecontrary, it may limit one to explore the true value of each level.

People who have truly learned all levels will not ask me such questions. They should have a

sufficient knowledge and deep insight of their practice.

I will teach the next level when the time is right and people are ready. To know a practice by

form alone does not mean anything.

I will discuss whats in the book when it is complete.

Generally how does the releasing process work with her practice? Will I be seeing

and hearing things and be unable to distinguish what is real and what isnt? Does Jennyprovide any information at the workshop about this or about how to best handle this part of it?

Is this practice safe for everyone?

Yi gong practice strengthens me both physically and mentally. It gives me the

ability to explore myself.

Yi gong practice makes one healthier and wiser and able to see thing clearly, not more dull.

Yi gong is not for everyone. I will not suggest that those who have psychiatric issues practice

Yi gong. Whether the spontaneous adjustment Qi gong practice is safe, I have never heard of

any of my students reporting any side effects, but only benefiting from it.

Seeing and hearing things is not the goal of practice and can be distracting. Let it go.

It has been mentioned that this workshop will be a pre-requisite for future

retreats. How long will these retreats be? Where will they be held, will it all be taught by

Jenny, and what can I expect to learn there?

As for the retreats, this will only be an opportunity for those serious practitioners

who have studied with me and want to take their studies further. It will be an intensive

training with many aspects. I am not looking for crowds, so these retreats will not be opened

to the general public. Attendance is by invitation only.

What are the benefits of practicing Yi gong?

Yi gong is for self-healing and self-awakening. As for its benefits, let the practicereveal it to you.

A question came up recently on Tao Bums about doing Yi Gong. The way most

people have learned the practice is to be barefoot and on a sheepskin or deerskin rug. But I

remember the way you practices at your seminar was with shoes on.

Is there any benefit to practicing without shoes? Or does it not matter either way. If you wear

shoes should they be kung fu slippers?

It is a good question. As a matter of fact, barefoot practice Yigong is good. Not

only that, general speaking, it is good for any Qigong practice. If you can, barefoot walking at

home is also good for you. It connects your body with the earth and also under your foot thereare many channels and acupoints which reflects ones organs. Intentionally walking on certainspots or certain ways would improve ones health gradually.


27/33

At our seminar, I didnt request everyone do that because it was winter. I am not sure howcomfortable everyone would be with that. However, Yigong practice spontaneously moves

the whole body, stimulating all channels. It is not so crucial to have to practice barefoot. But

if you wear shoes, thin and soft bottom and tops is the best choice. Not necessary that it has to

be kung fu slippers. Wear whatever you feel comfortable with. I prefer Aasics wrestling

shoes. Those are my kung fu shoes.

Are we permitted to teach spontaneous qigong?

Choosing to teach anything is ones own decision and choice, but to be a qualifiedteacher with the lineage is a different issue. I have only taught physical aspects of Yi gong to

limited people, not the spiritual aspects (to anyone), which is the most important for the

lineage. Kunlun spreading worldwide was Maxs choice. Since he is training instructors with

his knowledge, I dont want to interfere. I teach Yi gong, not Kunlun. If you want to teach theSpontaneous Qigong, that is your choice. If you want me to certify you, I do not easily givecertification to anyone. That is because I take my responsibility not lightly. A qualification

indicates intensive training, knowledge of many aspects and understanding of onesresponsibility in the world.

I hope that I answered your questions and didnt leave you too disappointed. I will alwayssupport those who dedicate their lives to search for truth and to help others.

I have a question about the relationship between Non duality and Qi gong

healing. I do a form of Healing called Bio Energy, basically combing the persons

electromagnetic field of stagnations and removing them outside of the immediate field. At

times the affect can be profound on a persons health.

I am an acupuncturist, practice Qi gong with an interest in the Chinese Taoist classics. I see

direct path teachings (Advaita, Zen, Dzogchen) as pointers of the absolute truth, and I invest

much time in these simple profound teachings. I came across you on the internet as someone

who might be able to help me understand the relationship between Qi gong Healing and

Advaita.

Advaita is non-duality. Anything that you can think of is duality, so is Qigong.

Non-duality is indescribable, inexpressible and unthinkable. There is no reference point.

Therefore, the Buddha can only point the direction to those who are seeking enlightenment

but cannot show them enlightenment, because full enlightenment is non-duality. It is a goal of

Zen or Dzogchen, but it is not something that a Zen or Dzogchen practitioner can hold onto.

Anything that one can hold onto is not Non-duality.

Qigong, generally speaking, is for healing. There is subject, the healer, and object whom to be

healed, and a method used to heal. Therefore, it is not non-dual. From an absolute point of

view, there is no method that is non-dual. However, any method can lead to non-duality, if

you know how. Some methods may be better than others but it purely depends on anindividual.


28/33

To understand the non-dual can be very beneficial to who studies and practices Qigong.

Because those who are less attached to oneself, have more access to the cosmos. The more

you understand the universe, the more you understand yourself. The more you understand

yourself, the more power to heal. A good Qigong practitioner will not only limit oneself to the

physical aspects but spiritual as well. They are compliments to each other. The highest Taoist

practice should be towards the direction of non-duality, so to speak.

Your question is not something that can be explained in a few words, if you do not have much

knowledge about what is non-duality. I can recommend a few books for you to read if you are

interested in Non-duality.

1.

Vedanta, Heart of Hinduism, by Hans Torwesten

2. The Center of the Sunlit Sky, by Karl Brunnholzl

3.

I Am That, by Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

My answer is merely a pointer and hopefully it will lead you in the direction of your research

and of what you are seeking.

Thank you so much for your reply, and the book reading suggestions, its very

kind of you. I have read quite extensively on Some of the great Advaita authors, and so am

familiar. Can I ask you, Is Lao Tsus Dao De Jing essentially pointing at, or talking aboutnon duality in its own unique way? Or particularly the first paragraph The way that can beexplained or said is not the way. Or are there sources in Chinese culture, Taoist or otherwisethat recognise or point to the same oneness in their own way?

Yes, the first paragraph of the Dao De Jing "Tao can be talked about, but not the

Eternal Tao. Names can be named, but not the Eternal Name" is a Chinese perspective on

Oneness. In short, Wu Wei (non-action) is the highest state of Taoism. One can say it is a

Taoist interpretation of non-dualistic wisdom. Letting go is the key for all practice to lead in

that direction. As soon as you understand what Advaita means, dont waste your time onanalyzing.

I heard from other Tao Bums that Jenny is a Buddhist, and Ive heard variousaccounts of Yi Gong being an amazing practice. A year or two back, I tried Kunlun, learningfrom the book, and it didnt amount to much. I was seeking experiences and couldnt letgo.

Now I just do stillness meditation and am beginning to learn taijichuan chen style, and am

curious again about spontaneous qi gong. The reasons being that I hear its great for health,

energy, and purifies the body and mind. What I wanted to ask though, was how this practice

relates to the goal of Buddhism, as far as I know, no Buddhist teachers have ever used

Spontaneous Qi Gong. the only Buddhist tradition that I know of that uses energy are the

Tibetans. they are very secretive though :)

Yi Gong is one of the highest Taoist practices, not a Buddhist practice. It wasnt

known until recently by the public. Im a Buddhist but I learned and practiced in the Taoisttradition before I became a Buddhist. Teaching self-healing is my profession. I always like to

share my knowledge with those who can benefit from it. To maintain ones health in this

world does not conflict with Buddhism, although it is not the goal of Buddhism. Dont becaught by appearances. There are different paths or different approaches for different people.

The important thing is not to mistake a tool as the goal.

Starting Yi Gong with a book alone is not a good way to go. You need a teacher to help you.

Find a teacher that suits you and you feel comfortable with.

Just one additional comment, Enlightenment is not an experience. I suggest that you read "I

Am That" by Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj.

I have some questions about the practice that you teach. Im Buddhist, tookrefuge with a Tibetan Kagyu teacher but am non-sectarian. Ive hearda lot about the Yi Gong

practice that you teach from some Taoist practitioners, but am not familiar with any Buddhists

that practice it. The Taoists tell me that its very good at purifying the body, expelling disease

and sickness, and bringing peace of mind and clarity in thinking. This seems very wonderful.

I dont know any Buddhist practices that works the way Yi Gong does... Tibetans work withenergy but mainly through visualization not through shaking. Anyway my main question is

this, for someone on the Buddhist path to enlightenment.. realizing your true nature for the

sake of all beings.. is Yi Gong beneficial? Is it a method that leads to enlightenment? Or are

the benefits just on the physical bodies health? I know that you market the seminars for

people interested in health benefits but for someone interested in enlightenment what can you

say about the Yi Gong practice? What is its "spiritual" benefit in Buddhist, not Taoist, terms

(not too familiar with Taoist goals)

Enlightenment is enlightenment. It has no differentiation for religion. "A person iswhat his deep desire is. It is our deepest desire in this life that shapes the life to come. So let

us direct our deepest desires to realize the Self." (the Upanishads)

As for Enlightenment, it really doesnt matter that much whether you practice Buddhism orTaoism or Hinduism or Judaism or just simply live your life with awareness. It is your

intention and your effort toward reaching your goal that matters. I am a Buddhist. To realize

the Self or Enlightenment is more important to me than a Ph.D or any other titles. However, a

true practitioner understands Enlightenment does not come from a cushion or any particular

method, but to let go of all your attachments. As the true emptiness is to empt
