Lunchtime qigong

07/21/2021
07/21/2021

Lunchtime qigong this week, as group is generally healthy, we did meditation instead. After about a year of practice, we sat and it was a meal’s time. All is well, with many healthy reports in body and mind.

Actually, meditation is an advanced form of qigong, much like how martial artists sit and heal in martial arts stories.

While normal qigong originates from the ego mind, in duality, and easily leads to bias and errors, advance qigong proceeds in nonself and nondoing, it’s relaxed, natural, efficient, and safe.

A student said afterwards, time flies in happiness, quite enjoyable stage it is.

今日lunchtime qigong,同學們身體大致安好,我建議不如做meditation。經過一年來訓練,大家盤腿一坐,便是一頓飯的時間。而坐後同學都有些不錯的身心報告。

其實靜坐就是上乘嘅氣功,如武俠小說裡受傷的大俠們靜坐療傷一樣。一般氣功出自小我意念,屬有為法,容易出偏差;上乘氣功為無為,放鬆自在,道法自然,故輕鬆,高效,安全。

結束時有同學說,快樂不知時日過。已能樂之也。

03/13/2020

Health tips during Virus outbreak:

Basic hygiene:
1) wear a mask in public place
2) wash hands frequently (soap better than hand sanitizers), and avoid touching face
3) avoid crowded area
4) keep good 6-8 feet distance from others
5) careful of dirty public items (handrails, door handles, toilet
water tap, door, seats)
6) stay away from smokers and dining people who have higher tendency of coughing and thus spreading sinus liquid
7) minimize social gathering (meals, parties, etc.) – lips nose, eyes are main entrance points of virus

Physical and mental wellness:
1) eat fresh, clean, fully cooked
2) adequate rest
3) stay positive, align to higher positive energy fields if available
4) be critical reading virus news
5) stay mentally strong against financial and social turbulence
6) remember you are loved by the Divine in the Absolute sense no matter what rubbish human are throwing at each other
7) protect and be the best of yourself and surrender the rest to the higher Wisdom

Stay Strong. We shall ride out this storm together.

Ordinary people, Hinayana, Mahayana

03/09/2020
03/09/2020

凡夫淨放,放完休息,休完再放,命終隨業去
小乘淨收,如封似閉,入大休息,訓醒又再來
大乘慧定,能收能放,不來不去,乘願而往來

Ordinary people knows only to use, after depleted rest, after rest deplete again, when physicality ends goes with karma;

Hinayana knows only to close, close up and seal, into big deep rest, when wake up continues again;

Mahayana aims wisdom concentration, can use and can close, not here and not there, come and go via intention.

修行 cultivation

02/28/2020
02/28/2020

家人囉嗦煩惱生,靜觀承擔任運消,解使結,便前行;
同事爭功氣又生,折騰半天覺醒來,無一物,誰來爭;
生活,就是修行。

Close ones complaint emotion rises, contemplate own surrender dissipate, knots untied, move forward;
Colleagues fight credit qi arises, half day inflated but after rest, nothing there, who to fight;
Life itself, is the cultivation ground.

Confucius Analects – Food and Sleep

01/29/2013
01/29/2013

10.2 Confucius eating habits

食饐而餲、魚餒而肉敗、 不食、色惡不食、臭惡不食、失飪不食、不時不食。不多食。

He did not eat rice which had been injured by heat or damp and turned sour, nor fish or flesh which was gone. He did not eat what was discoloured, or what was of a bad flavour, nor anything which was ill-cooked, or was not in season. He did not over eat.

10.3 Confucius eating and sleeping

食不語、寢不言。

When eating, he did not converse. When in bed, he did not speak.

* * *

Besides moral standards, Confucius also recommended healthy diet and sleep.  Eat fresh and well-prepared food, in adequate quantity, be mindful in eating and sleeping so we can digest and rest well.   Daoist also pay attention to diet and lifestyle as part of holistic approach to health and longevity.  In meditation and internal alchemy practice, a healthy physical and energetic body is a pre-requisite for advanced  practice.  While in the absolute level the physical becomes less relevant, for beginners and regular practitioners, maintaining a healthy body through healthy food and lifestyle is recommended.

09/30/2012

Mid Autumn Festival, or Full Moon Festival,  is an important time in the Chinese calender.  Like Thanksgiving Holiday in the US, Chinese would go home, get together with family, eat moon cake, and enjoy the full moon.  It’s time for some family warmth!

Happy Mid-autumn Festival!  中秋节快乐!
