Sincerity and Good Practice Leads to Realisation

(Translated by Adrian

On June 8th, 2015, members of the Qianfeng Hermitage boarded
two cars and headed directly to the Dingzhou area of Hebei. We were going to see a long-time Qianfeng disciple,
who is known by the Daoist name of Zhang Shiyong. This disciple of divine-nature had dedicated
himself to the study of the Qianfeng School with a great diligence, mastering
our profound teachings (and exercises) regarding health-building and prolonging-life. It was his sincere wish to borrow our golden
statue of the Qianfeng Founding Ancestor - Patriarch Zhao Bichen - and to
have it installed temporarily in his home for veneration.
At 9am on the morning of the 9th of June, over 20 Qianfeng disciples gathered in Beijing, as well as Americans, and other interested parties who had encountered our Qianfeng lineage, and had learned of the effectiveness of our health-building and life-prolonging exercises. These dedicated people were from all walks of life, and of all ages. They had come to pay their respects to the Founding Patriarch of the Qianfeng School – Grand Master Zhao Bichen – and lined the road leading to the hermitage, awaiting the return of the statue to our home. This was a time of great virtue and the highest Daoist significance for the Zhao family and disciples of the Qianfeng lineage.
At 9am in Beijing, the sky was cloudy – but the suddenly the clouds parted and the sun shone through – bathing the Qianfeng Hermitage with light! As the procession carrying the statue approached the Qianfeng Hermitage (along the main road), everybody stood quietly out of respect, and then a gentle Daoist chanting (together with instrumentation) began to be heard, emanating from within the respectful silence. Present were the elderly grandsons of Zhao Bichen – Zhao Guoen and Zhao Guowu – as well as other members of the Zhao family (who bowed out of respect and burned incense).

真心练功有体悟
2015年6月8号由北京千峰草堂出发的两部汽车直达河北定州,千峰草堂后学千峰弟子张士永道号:天然子入门后认真学习道家性命双修功夫,深感道家功夫之真谛决心用一生来认真学习,立誓发心愿请千峰始祖金身于草堂。
6月9日上午9时来自北京地区20余位千峰弟子,以及美国和各界爱好性命双修大德前来千峰草堂为千峰先天派始祖:赵避尘神像回归故居开光,有大德高道及弟子主持。
上午9时许北京的天空是阴天,当要开光时阳光出现草堂一片光明。在高道的唱经过程中大家肃立草堂,安静无声只听到经文和乐器之声。千峰老人之孙:赵国恩,赵国武,以及赵氏家族为家祖上香叩拜。
