Let us start with an Excerpt from Master Nan Huai-Chin's discussion in "Recordings of Zen Teachings."

Attention! Those who choose to become monks and study Buddhism must understand the importance of having a method. Why were there so many accomplished monks in ancient China? Many of them practiced a method that is rarely practiced today, called " Banzhou Samadhi." Let me tell you about " Banzhou Samadhi," but do not attempt it recklessly! Honestly, nowadays, young monks lack strong spiritual commitment.

How is " Banzhou Samadhi" practiced? I have seen it before. In the past, on the mainland, there was a monk named Da Yu, who possessed supernatural abilities. It is said that he held a ministerial position during the warlord era of Beiyang. Later, he renounced worldly life and developed supernatural abilities. How did he attain enlightenment? How did he gain these supernatural powers? He achieved them through the practice of " Banzhou Samadhi." What is " Banzhou Samadhi"? It involves clearing out everything from a large temple hall, leaving it completely empty. Then, a rope is hung from above, resembling a hanging noose. Several ropes are hung inside the hall. For forty-nine days, day and night, without sitting down or lying down, one continuously walks while chanting "Amitabha Buddha." Hey, try walking like that! After half a day, you'll find it unbearable. What do you do when you get tired? You are not allowed to sleep or lie down. Instead, you hang from the rope, suspended in the air, still standing. He said that after walking for over ten days, his legs swelled up, becoming as large as buckets. (Master Zhi Zhe also practiced this method, this kind of ascetic practice.) He said that slowly, after about thirty days of walking, the swelling subsided, and his legs became agile. Continuing to walk, after about forty days, suddenly – when one can hardly endure it anymore – the person collapses. In the moment between collapsing and not collapsing, they attain great enlightenment.

Why are there so few accomplished individuals in Buddhism nowadays? Because there are very few who are willing to practice diligently. Isn't ascetic practice easy? You attend class after having your meals, take notes, and then eat spinach! Prajna? Ultimate reality? Stir them together; they taste pretty good. Then, there's the Eight Consciousnesses, and beyond that, the Ninth Consciousness. Once you've transcended the Eighth Consciousness, you reach the ultimate reality. Just doing that is enough, right? No, you need true practice! Open up the biographies of the great monks and see if I'm wrong. Look at the biographies of Chinese high monks! Everything I've said is completely accurate.

Few people practice genuine asceticism nowadays, so there are few achievements. Who is willing to endure hardships? Asceticism, enduring hardship, has its reasons. Why do your legs swell up? It is because it eliminates all your karmic obstructions. So, when your legs swell, ache, or go numb, it's a good thing, not a bad one. But for women, you cannot stand for too long. Pay attention! Men and women are different! For men, the lower part of their bodies is crucial.

Look at men in the military standing at attention. Like when we were in the military, standing for three or four hours, we didn't mind at all. We stood up straight, of course, wearing military boots, and our sweat would drip down inside the boots, drop by drop. When it came time to take off the boots, we had to call the duty soldier to hold onto them while we pulled our legs back to remove them, and they would be filled with sweat. Standing in the scorching sun on a hot day.

Men can stand. Women, if you make them stand for half an hour, it's like asking for their lives. A woman's vitality is in the upper half of her body, while a man's vitality is in the lower half. Men and women are opposite; yin and yang are opposite. When women walk, their buttocks sway. In the morning, when women comb their hair, they can sit there for a while, maybe an hour. But for men, if you ask them to hold two newspapers over their heads for an hour, it's also asking for their lives; they can't hold them for long. You must understand that you shouldn't mess around with these things, and in the future, when you guide others, you must not guide them carelessly. Women are different; women should put their hands together and sit quietly. Slowly, their vitality will rise, and their energy will flow freely. It all makes sense. In this way, when you look at Buddha statues, you will understand. The Buddha statue's hands put together also has a reason.

Master Nan has mentioned a specific neigong method many times in his teachings and asked his followers to practice this en masse of which I’ve seen videos.

This book will build on the principles used by the supernatural ancient monks mentioned in the teachings but adopted for modern day individuals for safety and effectiveness – and safe for both male and female anatomies.

Introduction:




There were a few years that I devoured Buddhist content in search of knowledge of Enlightenment. I guess it was a way to escape and explain the tragedy of my life. During this time, I learned about many ancient Buddhist Qi practices that were almost mythical, supernatural, or of legends.

This brings us to the story of the Ancient Buddhist Walking Meditation (經行) that I learned from Master Nan Huai Chin.

There was a Monk hoping to reach enlightenment (he was already close) who also heard about the Walking Meditation and was ready to start.

He set up a pole that span across a temple and hooked his hair onto the pole.

He would then walk back and forth within the temple and would not lie down or sit down. When he got sleepy, he would nap only a little by resting against the walls of the temple.

He did this for thirty continuous days. During the process, his legs and feet swelled beyond imagination. Puss and blood came out from lumps on the swollen feet and legs.

No doubt it was painful. But people from the ancient times had a simple mind and their drive to achieve enlightenment was none like others. So, it is really us that have deteriorated in modern times.

He did not really think much about the pain and just pushed on.

If it were someone in modern times, a little pus would send him/her into a frenzy of fear and into the hospital to ask for treatment.

Eventually, the puss and blood stopped, and the swelling went away. The legs and feet returned to normal. But the legs are now like never. The skin is like that of newborn babies. And not just the feet. The rest of the body, too. His hair and face have also rejuvenated.

It turns out the body was just casting out the toxins long stored within his body–even the toxins with which he was born.

After a month of walking, he thought to himself, “I think I’ve done enough, and I really need a good sleep.” So, he untied his hair to lie down on a pillow.

Just as his head touched the pillow, he did it. He attained enlightenment.

So, he attained enlightenment and got a much better-looking physical body. Rather good deal, right?

(I am not saying you could achieve enlightenment this way. It only worked for him. It might not work for you and me. In fact, there are so many ways. But that is another topic.)

Also, please do not try this because you could end up hurting yourself, even fatally. People in those days and age had simpler minds (this is a big plus) and fewer toxins in their body, whether those toxins are before, after-birth or both.

The way you need to deal with those toxins and energy blockages is tricky. Most of us cannot force our way through those toxins like the monk did. You will hurt yourself before those toxins decide to leave your body.

I will show you a better way. A way for the more complicated and modern-day individual.

In this book, I have devised a modern and safe way to perform the Walking Meditation that helps you change your body by putting Buddhist and Taoist methodologies together.

I tried the Walking Meditation and eventually improved the method based on my understanding of Qi. This method affected every part of my body.

The benefits of Walking Meditation are endless. Not just the body, but the mind.

It is also simple. No Qi to guide. No complicated hand, arm, leg movements or gestures like Taichi or Qigong. No flexibility issues of Yoga.

As you can see from the story of the ancient monk, this Super Neigong is also more powerful than many other Qi practices.

The Taoists are especially focused on the cultivation of the physical body. With the synergy of Buddhist and Taoist practices, this improved Walking Meditation will be a powerful tool for your Qi exercises.

What is Neigong?

In ancient China, the practice of inner energy is called Nei-Gong (內功), meaning Internal-Kung Fu. It is the basic energy practice to return one’s inner physical body to a truly healthy state.

Nei-Gong (內功), in a way, means to change the structure of your physical body so that energy flows like that of a “superconductor.” In a sense, your body becomes a hyper-efficient Qi-Reactor.

It plays an essential role in a set of practices to attain a truly healthy state of mind and body.




The Ordering of Your Qi Practice Counts!

When you practice the core inner energy method of Neigong, the inner energy generated is hard and hammer-like. It breaks down the major energy/physical blockages in your body. This is because Neigong is at the center of Qi cultivation.

Read the following translation of an excerpt from one of Master Nan Huai Chin’s speeches:

Original:

二三十年前，大陸上大家練氣功，我在外面聽到了，怎麼搞的，中國文化怎麼變成氣功了！我說就算講偏的話，中國文化也是先有武功，先做運動練武功。

武功是什麼？武功的原則，「外練筋骨皮，內練一口氣」，這個是練武功，這些我們當年都玩過的。…

武功練了以後，進一步練氣功了，這是中國文化。氣功進一步是練內功，又不同了；內功進一步練道功；道功進一步練禪功。

我在外面一聽，哎喲，中國人怎麼一天到晚練氣功… 哇！連外國人也跟著亂來，外國人很容易受騙的，我們在外面擺個架勢這麼一比劃，哎喲！這是中國人，有工夫的。實際上我們風都吹得倒，有什麼工夫？大家亂受騙。

（節自《南懷瑾講演錄》：〈人文問題〉）



Translation:

Twenty or thirty years ago, everyone on the mainland was practicing qigong. This is what I’ve been hearing. How did this happen? How did Chinese culture become qigong! I’m saying this even if it’s a bit biased: Chinese culture first had Wu-Gong (doing sports and exercises first)

What is Wu-Gong? The principle of Wu-Gong is, “Externally: Exercise muscles, tendons, flesh, and bones. Internally: Practice Qi.” This is Wu-Gong practice, which we all played with back then….

After practicing Wu-Gong, the next step one would then practice Qi-Gong. This is Chinese culture. Qi-Gong’s next step is to practice Nei-Gong, which is different; Nei-Gong’s next step is Tao-Gong; Tao-Gong’s next step is Zen-Gong.

I’ve heard much recently, oh mine, why do Chinese practice qigong all day long… Wow! Even foreigners are also doing this nonsense. Foreigners are easily deceived. We make a (martial arts) gesture like this. Then they’re like, wow… this is a Chinese, and he has martial arts skills. The truth is, even the wind can blow the (fragile) us down. What martial arts skills?! Everyone was fooled.

(Excerpt from “Nan Huai Chin’s Lecture Records,”: “Humanities Issues”)

The excerpt above lines out the important order of your Qi cultivation.

The order is:

1.   Wu-Gong (武功)

2.   Qi-Gong (氣功) 

3.   Nei-Gong (內功)

4.   Tao-Gong (道功)

5.   Zen-Gong (禪功)

The latter two, Tao- and Zen-Gong, are more geared toward spiritual enlightenment, which comes naturally after Neigong…

Everyone is trying to do “Zen-Gong” (禪功) before all those previous four steps. The reversal of this order dramatically slows their cultivation development.

Once the Neigong step is complete, one will progress into the four Levels of Zen meditative states easily.

The hammer-like practices (no, it is not intense exercise) are the basis of “Nei-Gong” or “Internal Kung Fu.”

This will give back a truly healthy body. This cannot be done with Wu-Gong (sports, exercises, or muscle workouts) that strengthens your physique and Qi, but not focused on clearing the internal blockages.

Only after all the blockages in your body are cleared can you be called a truly healthy person.




Stages of Qi Achievements:

1.   煉津化精 (Transforming Food to Jing or a Type of Heat, A Pre-Energy-State of Sexual Fluid)

2.   煉精化氣 (Transforming Jing to Qi or Bioenergy)

3.   練氣化神 (Transforming Qi to Shen or Consciousness)

4.   煉神還虛 (Transforming Shen to Return to Void)

5.   練虛合道 (Accumulate Void to Become Tao or Reach Enlightenment)

When your body is free of energy blockages, your body becomes a self-sufficient Qi reactor. Your body will perform the above transformations with high efficiency...

5 Steps of Transformation



Inner Energy “Super” Walk
The order of complete mind body soul transformation is Wu-Gong (武功), Qi-Gong (氣功), Nei-Gong (內功). Then Tao-Gong (道功). Finally Zen-Gong (禪功). The latter two, Tao- and Zen-Gong is more geared toward spiritual enlightenment.




I will show you Simple yet powerful inner energy “super” walk used by Ancient Monks (Qi-Masters) to bring their physical body to peak health. Most of time, simple always beats complicated. This is one of the easiest, fastest way, most powerful way to build inner energy. This technique encompasses all three of the basic inner energy practices, Wu-Gong (武功), Qi-Gong (氣功), and Nei-Gong (內功).




Store New Inner Energy in Your Reservoir
The abundant energy generated will clear your energy channels. Freely flowing inner energy channels will make your visualization efforts significantly stronger. This is a prerequisite to making visualization truly work wonders for you. When people say that visualization doesn’t work, this is because their energy channels are blocked in many places.




With enough inner energy generated, your body will also find blockages in your mind and body and then clear them with great force.




You’ve seen the everyday QiGong or Taichi practices people do. You have seen so many people practice these supposedly great energy exercises. Yet have you wondered why many of them still look weak and fragile? In this book you will find out why…

Dear Health Seeker,




In ancient China, the practice of inner energy is called Nei-Gong (內功), meaning Internal-Kung Fu. It is the basic energy practice to return one’s inner physical body to a truly healthy state.




It plays an essential role in a set of practices to attain a truly healthy state of mind and body.




When you practice the core inner energy method taught in my book, the inner energy generated is strong, hard, and hammer-like. It is designed to break down the major energy/physical blockages in your body. On the opposite, soft energy generation like meditation, sleep, visualization, positive affirmation, or hypnosis will have a very difficult time doing.




This is why the people doing these soft-practices for “decades” will never get anywhere because they’ve got the order wrong!




The order is Wu-Gong (武功), Qi-Gong (氣功), Nei-Gong (內功). Then Tao-Gong (道功). Finally Zen-Gong (禪功). The latter two, Tao- and Zen-Gong is more geared toward spiritual enlightenment.




Everyone is trying to do “Zen-Gong” (禪功) before all of those previous 4 steps.




The hammer-like practices (no, it’s not intense exercise) is what is called “Nei-Gong” or “Internal Kung Fu”.




This will give back a truly healthy body. After that, it’s slim, fit, and a truly free reality for you.




Only after all of the blockages in your body are cleared, can you be called a truly healthy person and you will always keep a lean and fit figure – unless you really want to break it.




In this book, you will find out a technique that encompasses all three of the inner energy practices specifically on transforming your physical body, Wu-Gong (武功), Qi-Gong (氣功), and Nei-Gong (內功).




It is one of the most efficient inner energy practices and requires no complicated instructions.




On top of that, you’ll get an array of powerful energy sources available to you without any practice to help you out.







The true goal of strengthening your body is so you can go on to pursue your heart’s desire.




Life is short. Time is limited.







That’s why you want to practice the most efficient inner energy weight loss methods and use the simplest and most powerful inner energy sources available.




I don’t want you get trapped into an endless addiction of playing around with Qigong or some fitness fads that could get you nowhere.







Get your body right, fast, and go on to pursue your life’s true calling.













Sincerely,




David H Teng
