Classical Qigong Study

- Enlightenment Through The Path Of Skilful Means
In Accordance To The Perfection Stage Of The Secret Mantra Vehicle -

How does Classical Qigong relate to the doctrines of Religion, Philosophy and Modern Science?

The Ultimate Reality of All Things, referred to by Lord Buddha as the Dharma (Law of Universal Truth); by Lao Zi as Tao - The Way; by Confucius as the Absolute; by Hindu followers as Brahman (Supreme Reality); and by Albert Einstein as the Unified Field Theory - which states that all diverse forces of nature are bound together by a single underlying force which regulates the course of every action in the universe - are in reality one and the same thing: the Recognition of the Universal Principles of the Single Truth in Nature.

This Single Truth of Dharma is the foundation which supports the quantum reality of the world, the divine anomaly of the universe. The emphasis of Classical Qigong Study is on first subduing the disruptive influences of contaminated psycho-physical aggregates, so that the potential of one's true self can be revealed through the awakening of one's subtle mind, whereby clear insight begins to emerge, thus rousing to action the surging of wholesome thought from which issues forth the right course of remedy, and with which the delusion of mental hindrances and negative karmic forces - the root causes which give rise to the appearance of contaminated psycho-physical aggregates and unsatisfactory conditions in our lives - are eliminated and rectified, purifying in the process our mind-stream, and ultimately effectuating a reconciliation between our pure mind with that of the vibrational anomaly of the Universal Continuum - a state of progressive spiritual evolution often referred to as the Attainment of Buddhahood.

Classical Qigong Study shares many common characteristics with Modern Science. They both approach the investigation of phenomena in similar spirit by means of discursive reasoning and actual exploration to ascertain the nature of their subject's dependent origination with regard to the formulation of their form, their source of power, their function, and the resultant dynamics of their cause and effect. Just as scientists recognise that all matter is composed of an infinite number of vibrational particles, of which none is capable of creating an isolated phenomenon on its own, had it not been for the presence of other constituents and their catalytic influences, so too is the same understanding expounded in the Classical Qigong Study.

Indeed, Classical Qigong Study does not contradict Modern Science, for it embodies and substantiates the validity of many scientific understandings such as: Theory of the Four Universal Forces (Electromagnetic, Strong Nuclear, Weak Nuclear & Gravitational), Duality of Particles and Waves, Existence of Hidden Variables (Elements of Reality), Einstein's Theory of Relativity, Cosmology of Quantum Mechanics, Chaos Theory and Fractals, Concept of Non-Locality, Concept of Probability, and many others.
