China has long been a country rich in the mystery of life cultivation and wisdom of great philosophy. Zhineng Qigong is a great inheritance and development of the essence of traditional Chinese culture, meanwhile it is well targeted at the great demands of our time for Good Health, Good Environment, and Harmonious Relationships between humans and nature among people all over the world. This target is realized by deep recognition of the nature of the world, of human life and of human relationship. The Theory of Hunyuan Whole Entity (written by Dr. Pang Ming and translated by Zhang Yuhong), which is about the Theory of Three Level Substances or the Hypothesis of Three Levels of Substances, is a profound work giving revelations not only to qigong practitioners who are actively improving their physical and mental health level, to researchers, scientists who are keen in knowing more about the truth of the universe and human life, but also to all people who are interested in the essence of Chinese culture. Zhang Yuhong, the translator, is conscientiously presenting this great wisdom inherited from Chinese ancestors and developed with new creativity by Grand Master Pang Ming to the world.

Master teacher Hou Hee Chan offers a rare insight into the concepts and methods of Zhineng Qigong--introduced to the West as Chilel Qigong by Hou Hee Chan and his brother, Luke Chan, who have both published works on Zhineng Qigong. This book is unique in that it offers exceptional and in-depth explanations of the basic practices of Zhineng Qigong, originally written in Chinese by Dr. Pang Ming, whose extensive writings include a nine-book series on Zhineng Qigong. As Master Chan has observed, no one can translate Dr. Pang's books as they are written; all one can do is interpret them as closely to the original as possible. Combining his understanding of both the theories and methods of Qigong, Master Chan gives us an opportunity to explore the depths of this ancient Chinese tradition and brings Qigong into the 21st century with his interpretations of these methods for a healthy body and a relaxed, clear mind. Relieve the stress of modern life by taking a journey into the practices of Zhineng Qigong! Master Chan's translation of the foundation methods of Zhineng (Chilel) Qigong offers a balanced and informed approach that will appeal to a wide audience of readers. Other books on Qigong are often intended for the specialist with a focus on the martial arts aspects of related practices, but this book is written to introduce the general public to the art of Qigong and to a specific type of Qigong aimed at creating a healthy and vital lifestyle. The standard spelling of Chinese terms (Pinyin) is used for ease in reading and pronouncing Chinese throughout the book. Both Chinese characters and Pinyin are used for technical terms in the main text or when the terms first appear. There is also a helpful glossary for use in finding and understanding terms. This masterful work is divided into three sections: a succinct overview of Zhineng Qigong; an in-depth explanation of the foundation methods of this practice; and a much needed translator's perspective that interprets and illuminates the practice methods based on Master Chan's years of personal experience as a teacher in the U.S. and abroad, and his study in China. Qigong is both an ancient and an evolving art, and this book captures the essence of these qualities through Master Chan's interpretations that help deepen our understanding of this dynamic art form.

The question of truth has never been more urgent than today, when the distortion of facts and the imposition of pseudo-realities in the service of the powerful have become the order of the day. In The Paradox of Being Poul Andersen addresses the concept of truth in Chinese Daoist philosophy and ritual. His approach is unapologetically universalist, and the book may be read as a call for a new way of studying Chinese culture, one that does not shy away from approaching “the other” in terms of an engagement with “our own” philosophical heritage. The basic Chinese word for truth is zhen, which means both true and real, and it bypasses the separation of the two ideas insisted on in much of the Western philosophical tradition. Through wide-ranging research into Daoist ritual, both in history and as it survives in the present day, Andersen shows that the concept of true reality that informs this tradition posits being as a paradox anchored in the inexistent Way (Dao). The preferred way of life suggested by this insight consists in seeking to be an exception to ordinary norms and rules of behavior which nonetheless engages what is common to us all.

As traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is the gem of ancient science in China and reflects deep Chinese philosophical wisdom, Qigong that acts as the foundation and quintessence of clinical TCM can be used as another key to open the treasure bank of Chinese civilization. "In Qigong, TCM and paranormal abilities are hidden the fundamental truth of human life science. Instead of being mythical and mysterious, the three of them are closely associated with the forefront development of modern science and technology." (Qian Xuesen, a famous Chinese scientist) This book written by Prof. Pang Ming in the 1990s talks about the basic concept of Qi, the definition of Qigong, the different Qigong schools and their common features, and the significance of Qigong development. It explicates emphatically the connotations and the denotations of such concepts as Qigong, Qigong science and Zhineng Qigong science. It expounds the special features of the method, the methodology and the methodological foundation of Qigong science as well as its relationship with modern sciences. It also explores the role and the significance of Qigong science in the entire background of human culture. Additionally, it introduces Zhineng Qigong and Zhineng Qigong science and the essentials of effective Zhineng Qigong practice. Finally, it discusses the relationship between Qigong, traditional Chinese medicine and paranormal abilities.This book, as a programmatic document on Qigong and Qigong science for everyone working in the field of Zhineng Qigong and other types of Qigong (and also for people interested in Chinese culture and human life science), is worth consciously studying and mentally processing. What is talked about in this book is the common ground (laws and content) shared by different Qigong schools. It is the quintessence of qigong knowledge and the life-blood running through various schools of Qigong methods. With the deep insight acquired from this book (and from Essence of Zhineng Qigong Science), readers will understand that the diverse Qigong schools originate virtually from the same source. Under its guidance, practitioners will advantageously make continuous progress in their Qigong practice.
