The Qianfeng Neidan (‘Emptiness’) Path Of Self-Cultivation
ORIGINAL CHINESE LANGUAGE ARTICLE BY: QIANFENG DAOIST MASTER ZHAO MING WANG (赵明旺)
(TRANSLATED BY ADRIAN CHAN-WYLES PHD)
I was brought into this world by my parents – Bodhisattvas! Every one of us is like this. What makes us different is the paths that our lives take and the experiences we have. This is how we gain understanding of different things. As for myself – my destiny was to study the ‘Dao’ (道) and experience all its mysterious teachings and profound methods! From this I was exposed to the teaching that comprise the ‘Essential Life Mind-Body' (性命双修 - Xing Ming Shuang Xiu) method! To master this set of exercises I had to practice, explore and gain wisdom as there was no other way! Over many decades I have penetrated this great mystery and made progress in my self-cultivation!
As the practice of ‘neidan’ (内丹) - and the ‘Dao’ it reveals - is so deep and mysterious, despite my progress in my self-cultivation I am still like a schoolboy attempting to gain understanding! After ten years of training in the ‘Dao’ of the dragon and tiger – I am now full of energy! I have refined the ‘Jing’ (精) or ‘essential nature’ and transformed this flowing substance into ‘vital force’ (炁 - Qi)! This is why my mind and body are strong and I am confident in my practice! This was not always the case when I was young as I was impatient for success. I had to try very hard to progress on the path of ‘Dao’ and it was not easy!
The ‘essence’ (性 - Xing) of the mind is only realised through a continuous and enduring (恒 - Heng) practice! For this to happen there must be the cultivation of the correct awareness in life. Therefore, the usual trappings of greed for wealth and lust for pleasures must be transcended and overcome! It is clear that when looking-back – the Founder of the Qianfeng School (Zhao Bichen) had fully realised the essence of his mind very early in his life! This is why I now tell you very clearly that to enter the Qianfeng Path (and make progress upon it) - the complete ‘emptiness’ of mind and body must be attained because this is exactly what the ‘essence’ (性 - Xing) of the mind is! Furthermore, within Daoism there is no other way of accessing the genuine teachings of the ‘Essential Life Mind-Body' (性命双修 - Xing Ming Shuang Xiu) method! This is the ONLY ‘Dao’ through which you can transform yourself and there is no other!

我由父母这对菩萨带到这个世界,我们每一个人都是这样,而后我们有了智慧有了各自不同的认知。
命运注定我了解了(道)而道的思想与神秘玄妙功法(性命双修)让我走向探索勤修中。
几十年来从修炼之路中我了解到,我还是一个小学生,内丹功夫是博大精深而又玄妙神奇,初修龙虎十余年后感觉自己精炁十足,对修炼信心十足,而后面蛰藏与卯酉功夫才让我感觉道家功夫高不可攀。
心性,持之以恒,对人生的认知,财、色、欲贪都是修炼这步功夫的钥匙 回顾千峰老人和历代祖师深感他们的心性。
修者要达到身心之空方可进入道家性命双修功夫的境界,那是你改变自我唯一境界。
