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.

Master Liu has been practicing Zhineng for over 24 years.Zhineng Qigong is the most widely respected and practiced qigong in China today for health and healing. Based on the laws of nature, Grandmaster and Dr. Pang Ming founded this natural healing system to develop physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Master Liu has worked for three years translating Grandmaster Pang's books on Zhineng Qigong in order to present this important information in an accurate translation. In the book, he explains the nine characteristics of Zhineng Qigong that make it different from other forms of qigong; Yi Yuan Ti theories; how to pull energy information; how to organize the qi field; as well as information on the forms. Master Liu's book is a needed and wonderful complement to any teacher and student in developing a deeper understanding and practice of Zhineng Qigong.

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.

This book succeeds in presenting both an easily accessible outline of quantum physics and also an appreciation of mysticism beyond vagueness and obscurity. From here it describes the physical and mental movements of qigong as a way of integrating body and mind, head and heart, detailing specific exercises and outlining their rationale and effects.
