Saw a short clip on the tv this morning on some travelouge show of Tibetan monks doing what looked like dynamic pushups come qigong come koto ( bow and homage). These guys are theravda buddhist and don’t really practice gongfu, and now I understand the arm tone they all seem to have.
Tell me if you’ve heard of or seen this. They start with hands prayer like above head, reel qi ( or at least from their movement sequence that’s what it looked like) through top of head, down to brow chakra / third eye, through xin ( heart ) and down to dantien where at which point they go straigt down to a squat , hands on slippery cloth, roll down to a push up stance, koto ( bow head to ground arms in front) then slide back up, stand and repeat for hrs.
Little cultural insight at worst
cheers

They are not doing pushups, they are prostrating themselves in devotion. The hands are up to heaven, the mind, and the heart. Folks will sometimes do this for miles from their home all the way to the Temple and then again in front of images or idols.
but point is that I thought it was interesting that they inadvertantly end up in a rolling push up and training arms etc concurrently. Ni Je Dao? Do you know ??
I’ve kotoed with shaolin nuns on Songshan ( Mt. Song) and I’ve never seen it done this way. Besides, though you may know, I’m sure someone read this and went " wow " lol…
Ps: is that a cv meridian they’re working??

Feel free to stop that. No one is impressed.
Look, I travel alot and see and hear some of the most weird and wonderful the world has to offer, so I’m just going to go ahead and share and you’ll learn something, be amused by it or dismiss it. No skin off mine, but that’s all there is to it.
The energy coils and such are fake. Who would buy into such malarkey?
That is a form of prayer. The three points that are touched means right mind (the forehead), right actions (the mouth), right heart (the middle of the chest) then you bow to the earth and reciet something that slips my mind. I was taught that once, but i prefer mantra meditation/prayer.
it may be malarkey to an uniformed non-buddhist, but when you come to realise that chi cultivation is generic to an av buddhist and an overall goal, you may see it differently. It’s an intrinsic belief and aim. It’s what we do - cultivate our chi and then contemplate exactly why and what that is ; whilst shooting to behave or understand - however modernified - as our buddhist predecessors.

You are not trying to share, you are trying to impress and you are (if this is even possible) making more of an ass of yourself. You are a deeply stupid individual who is desperately seeking attention. I don’t believe that you have traveled any further than the remote control on your coffee table buried under piles of empty twinkie wrappers.
bl, honestly. Do you belive that those “energy coils” and “Overhead energy” is real? Its obviously trick photography and a play on lights. Everybody should look at those photos and captions and realise that something isn’t right there.
Despite popular belife (:rolleyes: ) energy coils and overhead energy balls do not exsist. Stick to martial arts to learn how smash, maime, and protect. Not to Chi blast people…
BTW, I’m not saying Qigong is fake.
yes I do…there are ways and means to know your intrinsic energies and how to exploit them, this is one…
Ps: just like “esoteric” pressure point vaildity , is not worth th tablet it was written on 1500 yrs + ago, … feeling the enquiry but can’t concurr. Sorry dude. reconsider previous information.
bl with love
There are ways and means to know your suckers and how to exploit them, this is one…
Sad but true. 
The energy ring is obviously sun shining through the window, or is it that he just projected his chi to “fool those who are tainted by disbelife and uncertainty.” Healing #2 looks to me like a lamp or light. All of these things can be reproduced by a drugged up monkey working on Photoshop. The Energy Coil looks like a piece of red string draped over the camera lens.
All I have to say to you, bl, is…
Hook…Line…Sinker…
hok line and sinker nothing!! I’m a wholistic cultured gal and comprimising to allow greater understanding is ok as atrade-off for the face I donj’t need. you may look cool at home and in school , but here we do real real life, where trite comments from the seeking effect me little…troll me more, but to the growns you’re still a gonna be soon as you “get the chance”… peace little’ns. boitch and claw if it’s its all you know how to do…
BL
I’m not trollin’, sister, I’m giving you my opinion. If your a “grown”, as you so eloquently put it, I refuse to grow up because it seems that the IQ and reasoning bottom out on you. If you belive that the energy coils and such in the pictures are real, then you have a severe misconception of martial arts…and reality at that! Especally since you call that obvious crap “real life.”
Let me put it this way for the “intellegent adult” you are:
Have you ever caught the sun in one of your pictures (not directly mind you)?
What did it look like?
and spare me this whole “grown ups” B.S. I’m not a child nor am I a teenager. I’m a young man who is wise beyond his years (or so I’ve been told)
is that a fact??You all desecrate every facet of my life deeply and repetitively ( which consequentially I lay bear for the sake of sharing progress and compartitive states to the up commings) over and over and think you’re grown and cool for doing so… well in such case you’ll spare us your trolls and glean what you can and interperate the rest academically if if it all
…slodier on mr,oh so grown… olds just don’t lay it down that way and yah, I’m open but that don’t mean i’m playing…
meditate on that oh peaceful one :rolleyes:
Ps : I just had a colleague get blind rotten, tell me he peed on my bed and persecute me for remembering… same shyte really… I’ll help , but you only take soo soo much…
Tibetian Qigong is a facet of your life? If so, then your right I am disecting your life, but if not then you have nothing to worry about. Oh, and I don’t desecrate, I disect and exploit the phallacies. If you don’t like me nitpicking what is wrong (in this case with the fake Tibetian Qigong) then fix it. Why do you get so angry when I take the juxtapose on most topics you post? If don’t like hearing both ends of the spectrum then don’t post here…plain and simple.
Now, I say its fake due to the exageration of the pictures and provided a couple of ways that this may be proven. You’re supposed to retort with evidence that supports it being real instead of immediatly adopting the victim mentality. Thats how debates work, hon. Like I’ve said before, if you’re not willing to debate your side, then don’t post your ideas on the internet. They will be challenged if they are farfetched. I’ve learned this time and time again.
And its hella funny I’m getting criticized about trolling by the premier Troll of KFM…
I don’t really get angry but I do loose patience in explaining… gain , take or leave my information…don’t really give 2 hoots…be ingonrant for all you’re worth 'cause of cause you know better right:rolleyes:
