What are the twelve mindfulness methods of Taoist meditation?

  When doing the work, it is advisable to forget all thoughts and to calm the mind; to be careful not to move the mind, but to have one spirit shining alone, and to return to the truth and simplicity; at this time, it is easy to enter into the correct determination of nothingness, and the mountains, rivers and earth. At this point, it is easy to enter into the realm of nothingness. In the realm of the One Spirit, one should not think about it, for if one thinks about it, it will become a residual law. Therefore, it is advisable to be aware of the thought that arises, and to stop it when the mind moves. The mind is a false spirit, in the practice of meditation work, it is necessary to control its outside; but not into the dullness and silence; should concentrate on the whole mind, focus on one point, and to protect its one spirit of sympathetic state, the delusion of the mind to move, that is, the volt of the motionless, the delusion of the mind has moved, that is, the system of motionless. To go to want to rise, that is, the registry to not, when the delusion has risen, that is, to be aware of the break, so as not to continue to rise. Therefore, the ancient saying: “not afraid of the idea of starting, only afraid of late awareness. “The “thought of rising is the disease, not continuing is the medicine. The thought of the awareness of the break, then from the thought to no thought. No thought will be no mind, no mind will be close to the path, and also to the hall into the room. When the mind is scattered, illusion and miscellaneous thoughts, when the birth of non-stop, it is appropriate to use the method of cutting off, cut off all the mind, kill all the edge. So that the mind lives in the mind, the realm lives in the realm, the mind is not outside the edge of the inner silence, the realm is not disturbed and outside the quiet. When there is not a single dust or thought, then the mind will be free from ignorance, clear and self-aware, and although it is silent, it is always sympathetic, and although it is sympathetic, it is always silent. As Lord Yu Shan said, “I have a divine pearl that has been locked up by dust and labor for a long time. This is the saying of the One Spirit alone. If you can practice the Tao and achieve the One Spirit, you can “enter the color world and not be confused by color, enter the sound world and not be confused by sound, enter the fragrance world and not be confused by fragrance, enter the taste world and not be confused by taste, enter the touch world and not be confused by touch, and enter the Dharma world and not be confused by Dharma. (Linji) There is no entry without self-realization. In this realm, “the path of speech is broken, and the mind is extinguished,” and it is easiest to realize the heavenly truth. It is the easiest way to realize the heavenly truths, to realize the body of benevolence, to understand the mind and see the nature, and to become one with the Tao. Confucius’ “prudence and independence” is also the effort to preserve this unique spirit of spiritual clarity. Mencius advocated “conscience” and Yangming advocated “to conscience”, both of which are based on this work of tranquility and spirituality. Therefore: “The mind is free from the mind, and the spirit shines alone throughout the universe.  The Confucian school has adopted the “centering” method as the method of the heart, and has advocated the middle way for all future generations. Lao Tzu took “Shou Zhong” as his method of heart, and the Dan Taoist discipline has a “Shou Zhong” and “Shou Zhong Huang” method, which is passed down from heart to heart. The Buddhists also advocate the “Middle Way”, which is to give up the two sides of emptiness and to practice the Middle Way, and in the end, although they say that “the middle is not established”, that is, the middle should be given up, they still take the attainment of the Middle Way as the key to practice. Therefore, it can also be said that keeping the middle is the common method of the three schools. The first step to eliminate the outside and keep the middle is to practice the method of “controlling the outside and keeping the middle”, so that the outside does not enter the inside, and the middle is kept so that the inside does not edge the outside. When the outside is removed, there is no need to forcefully prevent the interference of the outside dust, and the outside world will disappear. Heaven and earth have heaven and earth, the universe has the universe, the human heart has the human heart, the council has the council in; get it, stubbornly and keep it, keep and do not lose, then you will enter the Tao. The school of Dantou has to cooperate with the eight trigrams and five elements to “regulate the middle”, and to take the middle as the door of Xuanmu, which is the root of heaven and earth; therefore, the “middle orifice” is the “holy orifice” and “Tao orifice” that has not been passed down for thousands of years. By observing it, we can be in the midst of heaven and earth and the universe, and obtain the realm of unity between the human heart and the heart of heaven, and between the human heart and the heart of the Tao, which will lead to the divine transformation of thousands of people.  The Immortal Sutra says, “If you want to live forever, you should guard the one when it is clear. The sages of the three schools of thought teach people that in addition to using the center as the body of the Tao, they also use the one as the body of the Tao. The Tao is nothingness. Large but no outside, small but no inside; but in this nothingness, there is the universe, heaven and earth, everything, if there is no “in” then up, down, left and right, running and breathing, there is no way to stand, there is no way to maintain the system and to not fall and not perish. Nothingness can not be exhausted and invisible, to see the one. Immortal scripture said “keep one to keep the truth, is able to pass through the gods” in this. Laozi said: “Tao is one, one is two, two is three, three is everything. All things negative Yin and hold Yang, and the impulse to think and.” All things are born in one, one life in the Tao, so keep one can reach the Tao. Laozi also said: “the sky to a clear, the earth to a peaceful, grain to a surplus, everything to a birth, the king and vassal to a for the world chaste. One is the beginning of the Tao, and the mother of all things, so Laozi has the training of “keep the mother”, and Zhuangzi has the training of “I keep its one, and in its peace”. Keeping one is the ladder of attaining one, and it is the only way to enter the Tao. The practitioner should clench his teeth and die to steal his heart, and then he should be united with the one, which is a wonderful way to fix his heart. Mencius said: “The world is not fixed? It is fixed in one.” Yu Zhenzi said, “What is the determination of the human heart? It is fixed in one.” One mind does not move, one thought does not arise, that is to say, it is fixed. But the mind does not meditate, distracting thoughts arise, the root of the dust is not pure, it is difficult to see one, one is not visible, and Wuhuo keep? What is the definition? One is the body of the Tao, the common nature of man and all things in heaven and earth, see one is to see the Tao, that is, the Buddha’s work of seeing the nature. When the mind is one, it is “one and not shackled to the spiritual platform” (Zhuangzi’s words), and the emptiness is clear; then it is to see one, which is also to see the nature, and by seeing the nature, it is to enter the Tao. By the time it is united with the Tao, the one is not established and the nature is not established, and its ultimate is nothing. The universe, heaven, earth, and all things, human beings, and I, become one, and return to the realm of chaos and no self.  The method of guarding the mind and the orifice The method of guarding the center and the orifice is the way of form, phase and position, while the method of guarding the orifice is the way of form, phase and position. It is difficult to get a moment of peace. It is not easy to say that one wants to be at the bottom of it, so one can use the method of tying the mind and guarding the orifices at this time. The method of tying the mind and keeping the orifice is also known as the Confucian practice of “reassurance”. When doing this work, once you feel that your mind has been released, you should immediately withdraw it and tie it in the orifice. At the beginning, once you live, you should put it back, once you put it back, then put it back again, then put it back again, then put it back again, then put it back again, then put it back again, then put it back again, then put it back again. When the mind is moved, the system is not to be forced. The Buddhist practice of stopping, there are “tied to the edge of the stop, the system of the heart to stop, the body of the true stop” three stopping method, all so to rest delusions and inverted, to all places without mind, no thoughts, no desire, no action, and in order to be liberated. The upper Dantian, middle Dantian, and lower Dantian can all be guarded, but initially, the general rule is to guard the lower Dantian. However, there are also those who are taught to guard the eyebrows and mud pills at the beginning, which is also known as the method of guarding the Yellow Court. There are also taught to guard the nasal pillar, the taping, the sea of qi, the bottom of the sea, the door of life, especially taught to guard the Xuan Guan method for the most mysterious. Therefore, Gu Zhen said, “There are three thousand six hundred doors in the Tao, and everyone is holding a seedling root, but who knows that some of the Xuan Guan trick is not in the three dry six hundred doors. The cover is: “This trick is not a few tricks, but a synthesis of heaven and earth. Therefore, it cannot be pointed out. When the work is done, we can see and know. The Taoist method of keeping the orifices has a recipe, a project, a fire, a talisman, a test, and a realm; but this is known to those who have come here, not enough for outsiders.  Void heart solid belly method Laozi said: “Void its heart, solid its belly.” Pot Zi said: “If the heart is not empty, God will die; if the belly is not solid, life is dangerous. If the heart is not empty, it cannot be empty, nor can it be clear in the body. If the mind is free of a thing, the thing is gone; if the mind is free of a thought, the thought is gone; if the mind is free of a theory, the theory is gone; if the mind is free of a thing, the thing is gone; if the mind is free of a dust, all realms are silent; if the mind is free of the law, the energy is forgotten: and the mind is in the land of nothing! Whether we use the method of empty mind and empty realm, or the method of existing mind and empty realm, or the method of existing mind and empty realm and empty realm, we always seek to make the mind’s emptiness and tranquility, and the emptiness and spirituality as the most wonderful. As for the word “belly”, it refers to the Dantian, the earth of the five elements, which is the treasure of human life. The Taoist secret tradition has “accumulation of qi solid belly method” and “gathering qi solid belly method”, the belly solid is the so-called “Dantian has treasure”. Dantian has treasure, there are still “picking medicine” “pass” “take food” “warming “bathing” “return to the Dan” “Shenhua” method, the law has a trick. The solid abdomen is “Kun” abdomen, and the weak heart is “Li” heart; therefore, there is the formula of “taking food from the real Yin” and “taking Kan and filling Li”; this is also the trick method to intermingle the heart and kidney and change Yin and Yang. Therefore, it is said: “When the heart is in harmony with God, the belly is solid and life is not withered.  The mind is not easy to subdue or tie down when doing kung fu, so it is impossible to rest all the distracting thoughts and enter the realm of meditation. Therefore, we can adopt this method, so that the mind is attached to the rest. The mind is in the rest. The resting mind acts, the resting mind lives, the resting mind moves, and the resting mind rests. The heart and breath together, then the heart and breath as one. There are methods of resting, stopping resting, stopping the mind, and stopping the mind; they are the main ways of breath control, qi control, mental control, and spiritual control. When all realms are silent, when there is no one thought, when man and law are empty, when the energy and the physical are both gone, then we can see the nature and enter the path, and we can have the realm of “when a sun comes back, all the heaven and earth are in spring”. When this method is first introduced, it can be followed by the “mortal breath”, and in the middle, it can be followed by the “fetal breath”, and in the upper, it can be followed by the “true breath”. The true breath is the innate breath method, as if there is breath and no breath, as if there is no breath and there is breath, and make this breath and the breath of heaven and earth, and the human heart is also in harmony with the heart of heaven and earth. This method must not be followed with the heart, but with “seeming to follow and seeming not to follow, and seeming not to follow when it seems to follow” as the trick. Practitioners can also start with the common “breath counting” and “breath listening” methods, and then seek to go deeper and deeper after a long period of time.  The method of concentration and silent illumination The method of concentration and silent illumination is not about concentrating the “mortal spirit” but about concentrating the “elemental spirit”. The distinction between mortal spirit and vital spirit can be realized by anyone. The initial stage of the Silent Illumination Method is to start with the silent illumination of the “mortal orifices”, which will not shake for a long time, and then generate Yang and stimulate the true energy. At the next level, one can condense one’s spirit and silently illuminate the “Xuan Yuan Nao” (also known as “Xuan Guan”), which is easy to enter into the Great Determination and give rise to “true fire”, also known as “divine fire”. (True fire is different from mortal fire. Danjia refining medicine. Most misidentified mortal fire for use, a big mistake.) This fire can raise the dead and white bones; have the power to return to heaven. But do not know “stop the fire” of the know-how, it is easy to fire into the devil, and even fire burns the body, so that people lose their lives, so practitioners, and must know “to prevent the danger of danger” method. In the ancient times, the sages deflated their minds and made their illumination real, and condensed their spirits and silenced their illumination; and this is the key method to obtain quietness. This incredible realm is very different from the Buddhist realm of silence. Zen Buddhists practice the four meditations and the eight determinations and the nine sub-determinations, from which they can see the nature of the heart; but different from the method of the Dan Tao discipline, the key to this method of Taoism is to “concentrate the mind so as to fix its heart, silent illumination so as to return to its opportunity. Shaozi said, “A single thought of returning to the opportunity is the same as the original attainment. The main point of this technique is that it has the wonderful use of “returning to the machine”, not only can it return to its vitality through the birth of true yang and divine fire, but it can also return to its heavenly machine and restore its original body through the principle of “human and heavenly unity of development” and “human and spiritual induction”. As the saying goes, “the return of the machine at a stroke through the three gates, the withered tree to spring flowers all over the mountain” old is. The power of the spirit of condensation is incredible. This is the footnote of the method of work. The sutra says: “Only the moving mind is destroyed, but not the illuminating mind. The key to stillness and illumination is to always shine and always be still, and to always be still and always shine. Otherwise, the difference is a thousand miles.  The method of returning to the light The method of returning to the light is to do kung fu, it is appropriate to gather the spirit, in accordance with Taiyi Jinhua tenet: “When all the karmas are put aside, only with the word Brahma ∴, with the word in the middle point of the store brow center, with the left point of the store left eye, the right point of the store right eye, then the two eyes of the person’s divine light, since the meeting brow center. The eyebrow is the eye of the sky, is the total of the three light will return to the entrance and exit. (According to the word ∴ is the word Brahma I, that is, the sun, moon and the Big Dipper in the person. Total household for the Danshu so-called sun and moon together wall.) Gathering the spirit is so that the body’s essence is gathered in one place; back to the light is so that the yin and yang of heaven and earth are always condensed, and the light of the sun and moon are always united. Therefore, the sutra says: “To concentrate on the return of light is the supreme essence. When the light has been returned for a long time, this light condenses and becomes the natural Dharma body. “The light has been condensed into the Dharma body, and gradually the spirit will be able to move, this is a thousand years of untold secrets. Everything in heaven and earth has light, the person also has light; the heart has a spiritual light, sex has a spiritual light, the brain has a brain light (Buddhists call the head light), the five senses hundred children, all have the ability, all have God, and all have light; get its God is alive, the loss of its God is dead; its light is also the same. The light that returns is the light of the universe outside, the light of the heart inside, the light of the nature outside, the light of the form inside, will be in the center of the eyebrows, and live in the mud pills; so that the light inside and outside, combined into a round light. At the same time, the method of returning to the viewer is also used. The method of returning to the complete world is to use the view to nourish its spiritual light. Tianxuanzi said, “There are “three methods of returning light” and “five methods of returning to the view” in Xuanmen, which have been kept secret and not transmitted. Cover “a thought back to the light”, can directly seize the opportunity of heaven and earth! A single return view can penetrate the body of creation.” However, it is only when the mind is empty, when a single thought is born, then it can be practiced and obtained, so it is also the correct method of silent mind. The Buddhist Tiantai sect is the main stop-and-view dual practice, there are three stop-and-three view method, extremely detailed; the main Zen mind observation and investigation, the main Tantric Buddhism, the main view to hold the Ming, Huayan main Dharma world clarification lining; all of these are the word view Dharma work. Although the method is different, up to the way, it is also one.  Stop the mind to stop the law of the human heart is not moving, moving is scattered, and ten thousand thoughts flying, fantasy intertwined, no time or quiet. Move a point of delusion, it is a point of loss of true energy; more than a point of tranquility. That add a point of Yang. Want to get its heart, the whole of its true yang, it is necessary to silence its heart, die its heart, so that a heart does not move, all thoughts stop, the heart is silent, the thoughts from the stop, the heart is silent. The heart is still for the heart, moving for the mind; the mind, people. Two minds also. A mind that is right, right, stop in one also; two minds that is the devil, the devil, the ghosts like hemp like corn also. The most difficult to subdue people, that is, the devil’s heart with the matter. That is, the mind is a saint, that is, the mind is a devil; that is, the mind is a Buddha, that is, the mind is a thief. It is said in the sutra that “the heart is the king of thieves”, so the first thing to do is to capture the king of thieves, and the first thing to do is to subdue the devil: therefore, the first thing to do is to subdue the heart, and the Buddha also taught by “adding what to subdue the heart”. Zen Buddhism “herding cattle” and Taoism “herding horses” are both aimed at subduing the mind, so that it can rest on its own and stop in silence. The ancient truth is that “if the mind dies, God lives; if the mind lives, God dies. This is the teaching for the method of silent mind. The method of silencing the mind is to silence the body of the mind and to silence the mind. If the mind body is silent, then the machine will not arise, and if the mind machine is silent, then the thoughts will not arise. The ancient truth also said “the mind kills the realm is M, the realm kills the mind is mortal. This is to teach people, the mind does not turn for the realm, the mind does not move for things, the mind does not move for J, the mind does not run for the reason; but can turn the realm to turn things, silent J and silent reason. Buddhists abstain from greed, greed, and foolishness because they are enough to harm the mind. Therefore, it is appropriate to sweep away all the dust, not to leave a thing. The empty room Taoist Zhitong said: “As much as water can wash away the dirt, who knows that water is also dust, and even if the dirt is removed from the water, it must be washed away here. This is to teach people that both mortal feelings and holy understanding should be abandoned. The staff should be surrendered, and so should the Dharma, so that the whole body is empty; for there is nothing at all. If one can stop thinking, one can enter the state of no thought, no worry, no fear, no desire, no action, and no thought, no mind, which is the main achievement of the three schools to enter the sage. Therefore: “There is no one thing in the heart, the universe is at leisure.”  Cunxin Gu Shen method Taoist practice of mindfulness, there is a “Cunxin” method. Existence of thought is different from the view, as if the return of light and back to the machine of the difference. The mind cannot be moved, nor can it be lost; the delusional mind cannot be there, the illuminated mind cannot be absent. The desire mind cannot be there, but the fixed mind cannot be absent. Mencius said: “There is no loss of the heart of the pure son. That is to say, the original mind cannot be lost. There are many ways to think about it, but the most important one is the “Nine Cunxin Ideas”, and the most advanced one is the Cunxin Gu Shen method. This is also known as the method of thinking about the Yellow Court, the method of thinking about the Mud Nine, and the method of thinking about the Lun. It is located in the central one of the nine palaces of the mind, the middle of the void and the spirit, for the place where the original god resides; the valley of the void and its response is infinite, can be divine and its use is inexhaustible; Cunxian thought in this, can greatly open the wisdom of enlightenment, and can divine the infinite, and have unexpected and wonderful use. Yu Xin’s poem says, “Void of nothingness raises the valley god,” and Gao Yi Fang’s commandment says, “The wisdom of thinking is exhausted, but the valley god is continuous. The words are right, because this is the method of nurturing God with God, and the method of preserving the mind is also the method of preserving God. A mind that does not move, that is, can produce God. But do not be too much. Too much is fire; it is appropriate if there is thought, if there is no thought, if there is no thought; if there is storage, if not storage, if not storage; thought and no thought, no thought and thought; storage and not storage, not storage and storage. The saint and the mortal are all the same, and the object and the self are all the same, in the silence of the world, and in the absolute realm of the true body, also called the realm of nothingness, which is also the realm of the Buddha’s ultimate Huanghuangpan.  The method of stopping delusion and completing the truth Taoist monasticism emphasizes the true heart as the use. The true mind in delusion is the mortal, and the delusion to the true mind is the holy land. The true heart is the original heart of man, that is, the heart of the Tao and the heart of heaven; the deluded heart is the mortal heart, the material heart, and the human heart in Yu Ting’s sixteen words of mind. The moving mind is delusion, while the non-moving mind is truth. If we stop the moving mind and return it to stillness, then we will be able to complete our true heart. The human mind is still, but it is moved by things. Now, if you extinguish the things and the realm, and extinguish the causes of confusion, you will remain still and unmoved in the middle, and regain your original body. Da Yi says: “Wash your mind and retreat to the secret. This is what I mean. The method of “washing the chain of delusion and retreating to the secret place; so that the outside does not enter the inside, the inside does not edge the outside, the outside is silent and the inside is clear; in addition to the method of cutting off the realm, that is, the method of “eliminating the outside and the whole middle”. The method of “stopping the mind” can be used to stop the mind. If the mind is not used, it is the same as no mind; if the mind is not used, the use is also no mind; that is, no use is used, that is, no use; that is, the true heart is used. This is what Yongjia calls: “When the mind is in harmony with the heart, the mindless use is in harmony with the heart; when the mind is in harmony with the use, the common use is in harmony with the heart. Or, if the outside is gone, the inside is kept; all realms are silent, one mind is clear. Or, when the outside of the mind is extinguished and the inside of the mind is kept; when the mind is silent and the one mind is still. Or, both the external and the external are extinguished; the mind and the realm are silent, and the whole is the same. Or, the inner and outer are both present; all phenomena are present, but no mind is present. Or the inner and outer are one; that is, the inner is the outer and the outer is the inner. Or the mind is the same as the object; that is, the mind is the object, and the object is the mind. Although you are in the presence of all things every day, but if there is no one thing, because there is no one thing in the first place. Although there are ten thousand things, but if there is no one thing, there is no one thing. Add this is from the heart of the heart, and the transcendental ground, and the road to the whole truth. Therefore, it is said: there is a heart are available, no use not heart. No mind from useless, useless also no mind. Now with the use of useless, then with no heart. Useless use in the use of hidden great use, no heart heart to see the heart of heaven.  The Taoist method of returning to the first heaven The Taoist practice of chain emphasizes the first heaven, but avoids the use of the second heaven. This is to say: Taoism cultivates the chain, emphasizing the last form but not the already form, emphasizing the not yet but not the already; emphasizing the image of no image, the phase of no phase, the thing of no thing, the body of no body. Cultivation of heavy reverse cultivation and reverse use, the knack of heavy return to the original; tripod heavy innate furnace censer, trigram heavy painting before a letter. Observe what is the weather before the joy, anger, sorrow and happiness? What is the face of the parents before they were born? At the same time, when doing the work, the highest level of know-how, Tianxuanzi said: “to adjust the breath must be adjusted to the true breath (the first heavenly breath), the chain of God must be chained not God God (the first heavenly God); chain of gas must be chained Xuan Yuan Qi (the first heavenly Qi, there are also those who focus on the first heavenly ancestral Qi). The chain of essence must be chained with the unnatural essence (innate essence), the chain of sex is most important to the unnatural sex (innate true nature), and the chain of heart is firstly in the heart of the reborn heaven (innate true heart). Tianxuanzi also said, “If you are obedient, you will be human, if you are not, you will be M. It is easiest to return to the innate nature. If you can get rid of the power of form and body, you are also M.” Once you are engaged in the chain of raising the sacred fetus, you are in the law of being, and the law of being is the law of the later heaven; the law of inaction is the law of the first heaven. In the Taoist school of “the Way of the First Heaven”, the main focus is on quietness and inactivity. Because of its emphasis on the innate nature, it is easy not to lose the heart of a child, easy to preserve its infantile state, easy to nurture its heavenly interest, to preserve its heavenly opportunity, and to preserve its innocence! Everything is the same as what it was before the parents were born. There is no knowledge, no knowledge, no worry, no joy. And without precepts, they are self-prescribed; without determination, they are self-prescribed; without wisdom, they are self-wise; without enlightenment, they are self-realized. The original is as it is, so it is as it is; the original has, no less lacking; without adding some, when the body is attained; attained without gain, one attained forever. Therefore, it is said: “Return in the dirt, add to the heavy kan and li; can cut the Hongmeng trick, so that and xihuang Qi.  Although the above twelve methods cannot summarize the whole Taoist meditation mind, the main points have been briefly described. However, when doing meditation work, it is not necessary to adopt all the twelve methods, nor is it necessary to progress in a gradual manner. If one chooses to practice any of the twelve methods, one’s mind can be brought to the realm of “Voidness and Tranquility”, and one’s mind can be brought to the holy land of transcendence. There are many mysterious experiences, mysterious phenomena, and mysterious realms that arise in the process of chain practice. Those who have them need not be frightened, and those who do not need not be discouraged. If you do not use your efforts but do not achieve, there is no one who does not use his efforts but does not achieve. But because of its natural, not the slightest bit forced, not with the slightest idea, long and pure, then the delusional mind since the rest, delusional thoughts since the removal of the faint gas since the clear, the common stain since the pure, and get with the heavenly truth.  Quiet and fixed work deep, there is no movement between static, static fixed, moving also static. Fixed, moving also fixed. At the same time, the cultivation of quiet, not only to seek only the mind quiet, but also to seek its gas quiet, God is quiet, the reason is also quiet. Not only to seek only the heart fixed, but also to seek its gas fixed, God fixed, the reason also fixed. Life in the world, connotation must be used to quiet, work must be used to determine. Quiet view of heaven and earth, it is clear in the body, and no error; fixed turn the universe, the universe in the hand, and no or lost. Cover the human heart can be extremely quiet, clear and constant, it is easy to see things clear, easy to see the reason, easy to understand, and easy to understand things, and can be guessed will be in, calculated without missing a trick. And get its own body, hold the pivot of the Tao, the mind is fixed, from the things and not for the things to turn, turn things and not for things to turn, turn people and not for people to turn, turn the realm and not for the realm to turn, turn the law and not for the law to turn; turn life and death and not for life and death and life and death to turn, turn the world and not for the world to turn. Therefore, the study of meditation is not only applied to the health and wellness.  In addition, there are still the method of quietly observing Taiji, the method of running Qiankun and Kun, the method of raising the sacred fetus, the method of saving the head of Dan, the method of mixing the five qi, the method of opening up the Xuanma, the method of both water and fire, the method of fixing the gods and coming out of the gods, the method of divine changes, and the method of feathering the true; all of them are for cultivating the body and also cultivating the mind, and the life and also the Tao.
