Student Feedback
* [1/26/02] After the Qigong
retreat, my urine went from red (3 days) to yellow (3 days). (Andy, San
Anselmo, CA) (note:detoxification through urination)
* [1/28/02] As of today I lost 13 pounds. Very unexpected and nice results.
I think this Qigong program has great possibilities. Thanks! (Lorena, Sunnyvale,
CA)
* [1/28/02] Hunger went away when I did the Qigong exercises. Sometimes I
was very sleepy (note: another way of detox). Once while exercising, I experienced
great joy and one time the image of the 1000 armed Buddha came to me. Thank
you for your powerful Qigong healing system. (Charlene, Saratoga, CA)
* [2/15/02] Since attending Master
Qinyin's Qigong retreat about 2 years ago, my hay fever has gotten much better,
and I no longer catch cold easily. It also helps my periods to become much
smoother. Qinway Qigong has improved my overall health significantly. (Laviania,
Fremont, CA)
* [2/19/02] The Qinway Qigong practices are a way of getting in touch with
the universal rhythm that finds expression in form.(Valery, Campbell, CA)
* [2/19/02] Overall, after the Qigong retreat I am feeling much more connected
to qi energy, and relaxing and opening my body and energy channels...I am
sometimes amazed how, as human beings we seperate ourselves out from the life
force energies of the universe. I have had good response to Qigong Master
Qinyin's signals at the 930 times...feeling that energy is entering and recharging
my batteries. (Barry, San Francisco, CA)
* [2/19/02] I extremely enjoy the CDs and doing the Qigong exercises.
My favorite is the 930 adjustments, I feel that alone has made a tremendous
difference. I know each time I do the Qigong exercises I learn more
and get more out of it, because I adjust more to the energy and use it for
healing me. (Carol, Redwood City, CA)
2. Qigong Story #1:
Stick and Chiding
At the Tang Dynasty, the Buddhist
Lingji School used “stick and shouting” as a way to enlightenment. It is said
that when Master Ma Zhu received his disciple Bai Zhang, he shouted at him
so loudly that Bai’s ears hummed for three days. Later, when Master Huang
Pi was teaching his disciple Lingji, he used a stick to knock on Lingji’s
head. Three times Lingji asked “What is the essence of Buddhism”, and Master
Huang Pi hit him three times. So Lingji had to retreat to himself and studied
Buddhist classics in earnest. Ever since then, whenever people came to Master
Huang to ask about Buddhism, he would just knock on them with a stick, while
Lingji shouting at the side.
Note: Lingji School is a renownd branch of Ch'an (Zen) Buddhism in China.
3. Qigong Story #2: Karmic
Debt
Once upon a time, there was a
Buddhist monk who practiced Buddhism so well that he almost reached enlightenment.
But for a long time he wasn’t able to make the final step. He understood
that he still had some karmic debts uncleared. So he wandered into a desert.
Suddenly a group of bandits appeared and wanted to kill him for no reason.
He offered his head without hesitation. Because of his great accomplishment,
every time his head was chopped off, it grew back quickly by itself. These
bandits were frustrated. At last, the monk told them that there was some kind
of blue grass on the other side of the hill. If they put that grass on his
neck, they would be able to kill him. And they did.
The monk died, and his spirit ascended instantly as his final karmic
debts were cleared.
