More wisdom from the Masters. Here are words from my teacher, Daoist Abbot Huang Gengshi (1910-1999).
“I have to be very careful about my diet. After my terrible car accident in the 1960s, now ten years later I still have a blood clot in my brain.” I asked him if he was able to cure himself with his herbs. He said, “Sure, but the clot keeps coming back. As long as I eat properly and do my yoga morning and evening, I am fine. Also, helping others helps my own circulation of qi.”
"Too much qi in the dan tian will cause sickness in the lungs and heart. Keep the abdomen soft, relaxed."
“All this business of jing changes to qi, qi to shen, and shen to emptiness only makes the mind more confused. Make emptiness and relaxation the foundation, the start, not the goal! If you are truly song (relaxed), then there is nothing there!”
“All religions have their good and bad points, so we must choose carefully. Most people don’t want to see this so they follow a religion blindly.”
