Lunyu 1

The BUDDHA FA 2 is most profound; it is the most intricate and extraordinary science

of all theories in the world. In order to explore this domain, people must

fundamentally change their conventional human notions. Failing that, the truth of the

universe will forever remain a mystery to humankind, and everyday people will

forever crawl within the boundaries set by their own ignorance.

So what exactly is this BUDDHA FA , then? A religion? A philosophy? It is

understood as such only by “modernized scholars of Buddhism.” They merely study it

on a theoretical level, regarding it as something that falls within the domain of

philosophy for critical studies and so-called research. In actuality, the BUDDHA FA is

not limited to the little portion in the sutras, which is only the BUDDHA FA at an

elementary level. From particles and molecules to the universe, from the even smaller

to the even greater, the BUDDHA FA offers insight into all mysteries, encompassing

everything and omitting nothing. It is the nature of the universe, Zhen-Shan-Ren, 3

expressed in different ways at different levels. It is also what the Dao School calls the

Dao, 4 and what the Buddha School calls the Fa.

No matter how advanced the science of today’s humankind may be, it can only

account for part of the universe’s mysteries. Once we mention specific phenomena of

the BUDDHA FA , there are people who will say: “We’re now in the electronic age,

and science is so advanced. Spaceships have flown to other planets, but you’re still

talking about those old superstitions.” To be frank, no matter how advanced

computers may be, they are no match for the human brain, which remains an enigma

to this day. Regardless of how far spaceships may travel, they still cannot fly beyond

this physical dimension in which our human race exists. What can be understood with

today’s human knowledge is still extremely shallow and limited—it is nowhere near a

genuine understanding of the true nature of the universe. Some people do not even

dare to face up to, approach, or acknowledge the facts of phenomena that objectively

exist, all because these people are too conservative and are unwilling to change their

conventional notions when thinking. Only the BUDDHA FA can completely unveil the

mysteries of the universe, space-time, and the human body. It can truly distinguish the

kind from the wicked, the good from the bad, and it can dispel all misconceptions

while providing the correct understanding.

The guiding principles of today’s human science confine its development and

research to this physical world, as a subject will not be studied until it is

acknowledged—it follows this path. As for phenomena that are intangible and

invisible, but objectively existing and reflected into our physical world as real

manifestations, they are avoided and treated as inexplicable phenomena. Stubborn

people have, on unsubstantiated grounds, entrenched themselves in their argument

that these are just “natural” phenomena. People with ulterior motives have acted

against their own consciences by labeling all of these phenomena as superstitions.

1 Lunyu (loon-yew)—“An explanation using language.”

2 Fa (fah)—“Law,” “Way,” or “Principles.”

3 Zhen-Shan-Ren (juhn-shahn-ren)—Zhen means “Truth, Truthfulness”; Shan, “Compassion,

Benevolence, Kindness, Goodness”; Ren, “Forbearance, Tolerance, Endurance, Self-Control.”

4 Dao (dow)—“the Way” (also spelled “Tao”); this term can also refer to one who has “attained the

Dao.”

People with unprobing minds have shied away from these matters with the excuse that

science is not sufficiently advanced to deal with them. Humankind will make a leap

forward if it can take a fresh look at itself and the universe, changing its rigid mindset.

The BUDDHA FA can provide people with insight into immeasurable and boundless

worlds. Throughout the ages, only the BUDDHA FA has been able to completely

explain human beings, the various dimensions of material existence, life, and the

entire universe.

Chapter I

Introduction

In our country, [China], qigong 5 has a long history, as it dates back to ancient times.

Our people thus have a natural advantage in practicing qigong . The two upright

schools of qigong cultivation practice, the Buddha School and the Dao School, have

already made public many great cultivation methods previously taught in private. The

Dao School’s ways of cultivation are quite unique, while the Buddha School has its

own cultivation methods. Falun Gong 6 is an advanced cultivation method of the

Buddha School. In this lecture series, I will first adjust your body to a state suitable

for advanced cultivation and then install a Falun 7 and energy mechanisms ( qiji ) in

your body. I will also teach you our exercises. In addition to all of these things, I have

Law Bodies ( fashen ) who will protect you. But your having only these things is

inadequate, as they can’t achieve the goal of developing gong 8 —it’s necessary that

you also understand the principles for cultivation at high levels. That is what this book

will address.

I am teaching the practice system at high levels, so I won’t discuss cultivation of

any particular meridian, 9 acupuncture point, or energy passage. I am teaching a great

cultivation way, the great way for true cultivation to high levels. Initially it might

sound inconceivable. But as long as those who are dedicated to practicing qigong

carefully explore and experience the practice, they will find all the wonders and

intricacies within it.

1. The Origins of Qigong

The qigong that we refer to today was not, in fact, originally called qigong . It

originated from the solitary cultivation ways of the ancient Chinese people and from

cultivation in religions. The two-character term, qi gong , is nowhere to be found in

the texts Scripture of Dan Cultivation , the Daoist Canon , 10 or the Tripitaka . 11 During

the course of our present human civilization’s development, qigong passed through

the period when religions were in their embryonic forms. It had already existed before

religions came into being. After religions formed, it acquired some degree of religious

overtones. Qigong’s original names were The Great Cultivation Way of Buddha, and

5 qigong (chee-gong)—a general name for certain practices that cultivate the human body. In recent

decades, qigong exercises have been incredibly popular in China.

6 Falun Gong (fah-lun gong)—“Law Wheel Qigong.” The names Falun Gong and Falun Dafa are both

used to refer to this practice.

7 Falun (fah-lun)—“Law Wheel” (see color page at front).

8 gong (gong)—“cultivation energy.”

9 meridian—the network of energy channels in one’s body that are thought to be conduits of qi . In

Traditional Chinese Medicine and popular Chinese thought, illness is said to arise when qi is not

flowing properly through these meridians.

10 Scripture of Dan Cultivation (dahn), Daoist Canon —ancient, classic Chinese Daoist texts for

practicing cultivation.

11 Tripitaka —“The Three Baskets,” also known as the Pali Canon. This is a collection of primary Pali-

language texts that form the doctrinal foundation of Theravada Buddhism. Its three parts are: teachings

of the Buddha, the monastic code, and special philosophical treatises.
