序言Since childhood I have been fascinated by the stories of immortals portrayed in Taoist books and teachings. I wondered how a person could become an immortal and achieve the god- ship. I read hundreds of Taoist books but always had a complex feeling of fascination, confusion and frustration whenever I finished reading. They seemed to be written in such a way that only the rare person could understand them. The standard excuse was that the heavenly secret should not be revealed. I could not tell which books were good and which were bad, and I did not know who, among these many authors, was a real immortal and who was a phony or a fake. So, I continued in search of Tao in the Taoist tradition by looking for a genuine teacher and,fortunately,I met my teacher in 1961. He is the author of this book.
In China, people usually meditate in order to achieve spiritual growth and to enhance their health. I have lived in the Unit- ed States for many years. To my surprise, the ideas and methods of Western meditation practices are quite different from those of the Chinese. It seems to me that most Americans meditate solely for spiritual growth and seem to want to expand consciousness or develop esp.
文摘The pharynx is composed of the esophagus in the back which leads to the stomach, and the trachea in the front which leads to the lungs. If someone has a disease in the tracheal sys- tem or catches a cold or the flu, coughing occurs. There are two kinds of coughs;one is a dry cough with no phlegm and one is a cough with phlegm. A dry cough is usually due to bronchitis. Some phlegm coughs are related to the diseases of the stomach which is connected with the esophagus.
A person who practices meditation after the initiation o{ the stomach ch'i and the phenomena of persistent hiccoughs and long yawns may feel something blocked in his chest that he wishes to vomit out but cannot. If he waits until he is full of ascending ch'i, he will suddenly vomit out dense phlegm of a turbid dark gray color. This indicates the initial opening of the ch'i through the esophagus. Taoists refer to this as the “twelve reiterated floors. "Esoteric Buddhists calls it the throat chakra. Actually, both expressions refer to the system from the larynx down the esophagus to the stomach.
The practitioners of esoteric teachings often believe that a person will stop being troubled by illusions after his throat chakra ch'i route is open. This is unclear. After opening the throat chakra, one's thinking will decrease, and troubles arising from emotions and worries can be quieted. But this will not enable a person to attain"no illusions'completely, since it cannot be attained without the practice of mental samadhi.
is the esophagus very important to mental and physiological health？ Yes, it is extremely important. Since it is the main route of food transportation, food refuse is deposited on the walls of the esophagus. This refuse is not automatically cleaned out by physiological functions alone. Day by day deposits accumulate on the walls of the esophagus and may eventually cause many troubles, such as cancer of the esophagus. For example,if a glass is filled with milk,no matter what happens
