1/7 : Témoignages pour le futur | Histoire du Falun Dafa - le Qigong ouvre la voie #qigong

I have a wish. I want to practice Qigong. I was lucky to meet him. He also said that he didn't know how to practice Qigong. He is a strong Qigong practitioner. He has a Qigong school. At that time, I wanted him. On March 11, 1979, journalist Zhang Naiming and his colleagues published an article about the discovery of a child in the district of Dazhou. He reads with his ears in the daily life of Sichuan. The following month, the articles published in Renhui Technology and Beijing Technology made a state of children who had supernatural powers. These discoveries made a sensation, and a traditional Chinese exercise, Qigong, was immediately brought to the attention of the public. Qigong dates back to ancient times, whether it is the exercise of the five animals created by Hua Tuo, the exercises of Tai Chi of Tsang Sanfeng, or the various branches and schools in Buddhism and Taoism. Over the course of 5,000 years of history and Chinese culture, we find everywhere the burst of these ancient wisdoms. This cultural genius, which has been prevalent for thousands of years, died out in the modern era. This empire, once powerful, could not avoid the painful fate of humiliation. In an attempt to resist the invaders, the Chinese prioritized modern Western technologies in order to remain rich and gain military power. Over time, people have less and less understood the depth, the true meaning of Chinese traditional culture. Instead, the vision of the positivist science that came from the West has gradually taken over to become the school of dominant thought. In particular, during the ten years of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, everything related to Chinese culture and traditional values was criticized as being old-fashioned and a feudal superstition. As a result, people did not dare to explore these traditions. A large part of the essence of traditional culture was lost, or even completely disappeared. However, making people forget the traditional culture transmitted for thousands of years is not an easy thing. When we began to report stories about supernatural abilities in China, at the end of the 1970s, people immediately showed great interest. At the time, all the editors were present in the office of the editorial office. There were all the journalists, about seven or eight people, and they can still testify to what we saw that day. Chen Gui, a renowned writer, told us about a supernatural case that he had personally witnessed. I told him to go through the reconstruction of the map. One of the editors took out a business card from a drawer. And he told me to sign the card. I took a pen and signed my name on the card. He asked me to put it in my mouth and chew it. So I chewed the card until it became a ball of paper dough. And I made a small piece of it. Then I took it out, he rolled it in his hands to make a ball of it, and then he hid it. All of a sudden, the card came out of his hand. I looked at it, and I noticed that my signature was still there. I found that a magic trick like that was really difficult, because, to begin with, I am honest, I was not their assistant. In addition, I had put the card in my mouth myself, and I had chewed it to make it into a ball of paper dough. How was it possible that the card could be reconstructed with my signature on it? I do not think that this can be explained by the theory of materialism. These phenomena that could not be explained with the theory of materialism immediately attracted the attention of the top leaders of the Chinese Communist Party, who have been governing since the beginning with the ideology of Marxism, Leninism and Atheism. When the article on the child who used his ears to read was published, in less than two months, Le Quotidien du Peuple published two articles, on May 5 and 18, 1979, severely criticizing the phenomenon, calling it absurd, adding that it violated common scientific knowledge, that it was completely unscientific, and simply a shame for the Chinese. At the same time, a department of the Central Committee published a document stating that reading words with ears was completely unscientific and a sign of the return of feudal superstition. Subsequently, Le Quotidien du Sichuan was forced, as well as the Secretary of the Sichuan Province, to write self-criticism. However, leading scientific scholars, such as Chen Shousen, supported the research in this unknown domain of Qigong and on supernatural abilities. Chen Shousen imagined the concept of the science of the human body from a scientific point of view. According to him, the theories of Qigong, Chinese traditional medicine and supernatural abilities in the human body contain the basic principles of the science of the human body. This will lead to a revolution in scientific fields and will make a big leap in the objective understanding of the universe. The first symposium on human supernatural abilities was held in Shanghai, organized by the magazine The Nature in February 1980. People with supernatural abilities were invited to conduct experiments on site, and Hu Yaobang, at the time president of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party, also sent evaluators. Hu Yaobang sent his secretary with some sealed samples that he had written himself, wanting people with supernatural abilities to read them. The motive behind this was that if we could read the words, the symposium would then have permission to continue. If we could not read the words correctly, or if the leap was broken, then the Central Committee would probably cancel the symposium. As many people, with the most powerful supernatural powers in the world, had gathered during the experiment on site in Shanghai, the results were relatively good. Hu Yaobang's secretary called him and told him that people with supernatural abilities claimed that Hu had written such and such words. As soon as Hu Yaobang realized that these were the exact words he had written, he first asked the secretary to hurry back to check whether the sealed samples had been broken. Apparently, when the secretary brought the samples to Hu Yaobang in Beijing, he checked that the envelope he had personally hidden had not been opened, but that people with supernatural abilities had read his words. In 1979, experts unanimously agreed that the symposium clarified the debate on the reality of reading words with the ears. This symposium was the sign that Chinese research on supernatural abilities was entering a new era. However, there were still people with opposite views, despite the results of scientific experiments. From the simple point of view of philosophy, the opponents criticized the research on supernatural powers. These skeptics also wondered whether it was science or anti-science, and whether people followed the materialist philosophy of Marxism or the philosophy of idealism, which is fundamentally opposed to Marxism. China had just come out of ten years of cultural revolution. Art, technical and scientific fields were all in a state of renaissance and expansion. After suffering for a decade from the toxic ideology of the far left, the Chinese began to reexamine themselves and examine the paths they had taken. They were able to treat the Qi Gong and supernatural powers from an objective and realistic point of view. These people were not shown their supernatural abilities. They were said to be demons and ghosts, and as no one saw them, people naturally believed the rumors, because they had never witnessed these abilities before. As the Qi Gong grew and developed, it became effective, especially for those who had diseases. They felt good once they practiced it. Then when they went to the hospital for an examination, they noticed positive changes. The effects of the Qi Gong being verifiable, skeptics could only understand its effectiveness. A leader of the Central Committee, who has personally witnessed supernatural powers, wrote a letter to Hu Yaobang, the president of the Central Committee, saying that in view of the history of scientific development, when Copernicus advanced heliocentric theory, when Galileo persevered in his theory of the rotation of the Earth, when Einstein proposed the theory of relativity, or when Morgan proposed the theory of genes, they all encountered severe attacks from the profane forces. Partisans of new theories even lost their lives. When some old theories cannot explain certain phenomena, this often means the beginning of a big leap forward in scientific development. Shortly after, Hu Yaobang gave instructions to the Central Committee, according to which the Qi Gong and supernatural abilities would be treated with not to make propaganda, not to debate, not to criticize. Here is a film that was very popular in the 1980s, the film, which presents remarkable martial arts and miraculous stories, has fascinated and opened the minds of an entire generation of teenagers. I was very interested in the film on the Shaolin Temple when it was released for the first time during my school years. I instantly had an understanding of the deep culture and the history of Chinese martial arts. I remember that we compared, my friends and I, to know who had seen the film the most. It was not only necessary to have seen it once, so I saw it several times. At that time, I bought everything I could find in books and magazines on martial arts and Qi Gong. At that time, the school had an association of Qi Gong. They invited many masters of Qi Gong confirmed by society and others self-proclaimed to give presentations or give lectures. They also invited public figures with supernatural powers to show or talk about their experiences. They talked mainly about the cultural perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, meridians, book of mutations, the eight trigrams, clairvoyance and certain supernatural phenomena. They discussed a vision of the universe, values and life from a different angle from the Western scientific approach. After that, I developed an intense interest for Chinese traditional culture. For most elderly people, the charm of Qi Gong resided in its miraculous healing effects, especially for diseases difficult to treat that could not be cured by modern medical technology. The appearance of Qi Gong undoubtedly gave people tormented by diseases one last hope of survival. During the Cultural Revolution, I was physically and mentally tortured. When it all ended in the 1980s, I fell ill and lost all hope. As I worked in the hospital, it was very easy to get access to doctors and medicines in China. But I was not getting any better. After trying different methods, no medicine worked on me. At that time, Qi Gong was very popular. People only talked about it in parks and workplaces. Then I heard a comment on a TV show about Qi Gong practitioners. One of them had survived liver cancer thanks to practice. Before practicing, his doctor told him that he had very little time left to live. However, as he began to practice Qi Gong, his body was getting better and better. Three years had passed and his health continued to improve. At that moment, I said to myself, his liver cancer could even have been cured. He was not sure that my disease was a cancer. But even if my disease was a cancer, it was certainly not as serious as a liver cancer. Maybe it was predestined that I thought that no other medicine could save my life, except Qi Gong. So I made the wish to practice Qi Gong. At the right time, at the right place, and with the right social connections, Qi Gong became a treasure of the Chinese people and it quickly became very popular on the land of China. A fever of Qi Gong spread throughout the country. What is Qi Gong exactly? Why did it have such a magical power? No one had done a real analysis, but some Qi Gong masters do not really understand the real reasons for the power of Qi Gong. This also cast a veil of mystery on Qi Gong. Later, many phenomena occurred, such as food abstinence, bigoo, energy spontaneously generated, and other sensory-connected abilities. I could feel them myself, but I could not explain them very well. I remembered the coming of a master of Qi Gong. I asked him in private how he cured diseases. I was very interested in the subject. He then told me that for these kinds of diseases, you just had to be convinced. It was enough to affirm with conviction that the disease was cured. Then you ask the patient if he feels better, and he will answer with the affirmative. If you are convinced and think you have cured it, then it is more or less cured. So there was no theory behind it. He himself did not know how to cure diseases. As this gained popularity among the population, we asked ourselves throughout this process, especially those who were determined and inspired, what kind of phenomena did Qi Gong have? Who was behind all this? And in practice, apart from curing diseases, what kind of understanding did people get from it? In the end, they realized that it was about practicing, making known, and cultivating. It was also about scientific experience and experiencing it. All these things could not be fully explained, because scientific methods can only verify the process of Qi Gong, instead of understanding what drives it. Thus, this fever of Qi Gong again incited people to think critically. Scams took advantage of people's desire to heal with Qi Gong and to obtain supernatural abilities or wealth by using different names to boast and deceive. This made Qi Gong even more mysterious, with a mixture of true and false. At that time, spontaneous energy was very popular. When a person was in a certain state, under the direction of a master of Qi Gong, he would roll on the ground and violently hit his body. We saw old ladies dancing like crazy. There was such a disorder. They usually taught Qi Gong in this way. First, they taught a set of movements, and then they talked about the theories of Qi Gong. Later, the practitioners tried to capture the messages sent by the masters of Qi Gong. Sometimes, the masters of Qi Gong also asked the practitioners to bring a cup full of water. They emitted energy into the water and called it the messenger. Teaching people how to cure diseases has also been fashionable for a while. I also attended a class of Qi Gong. The master of Qi Gong taught you how to eliminate, infuse and discharge energy. The most profound impression I had was the method of capturing the immortal with the hand. After learning this, I returned to my hometown of Sichuan trying to capture the diseases of my family. But it didn't work at all. Although we were eager to learn these methods of Qi Gong and understand that they were useful in certain conditions, did we really learn to master them? No, impossible. Some people believe that everything that is popular can be done. They think they can take advantage of things that everyone likes. Some false and fraudulent practices of Qi Gong took advantage of people's fanatical emotions. They speculated to make financial profits and functioned without any real knowledge of Qi Gong, although they claimed to know it. What they were practicing was not real Qi Gong. They easily invented things to deceive people. And of course, there were effects, but minimal, which allowed them to go for real methods of Qi Gong. Many people said that energy could cure diseases, which was not true, even if there were still minimal effects on people. The false masters of Qi Gong did not even have the skills to cure diseases. Yet they wandered and scrambled everywhere they went. A lot of people were deceived, and they created a very negative influence for Qi Gong. They defamed the authentic methods of Qi Gong. It was when people had different opinions on Qi Gong that the Oriental Health Salon was held in Beijing in 1992. People who had the chance to participate in the event immediately paid attention to a magic Qi Gong that was different from the others. I saw a very young master of Qi Gong who was very beautiful. In addition, the attitude with which he treated people was extraordinarily friendly. As a result, his appearance seemed very attractive to me. I took a look around his exhibition. Inside his booth, there was an image of the master of Qi Gong meditating and wearing yellow clothes. There were also photos of him being interviewed by journalists and on television. I learned that it was the Falun Gong. Later, I took out a notebook from my pocket. I said, Master, please give me your autograph. The master signed it, Li Hongzhe, founder of the Falun Gong, December 21, 1992. In the hall, Mr. Li Hongzhe and his students used their supranormal abilities to cure many diseases. The news, the Falun Gong is miraculous, spread quickly among the crowd of the hall. The director of the hall, Mr. Li Hongzhe, said, In April 1993, the book by Mr. Li Hongzhe, The Falun Gong of China, was officially published. The book was translated into Chinese by a Chinese translator. Mr. Li Hongzhe explains in particular the origin of Qi Gong, the powers of Gong and the force of Gong, the treatment by Qi Gong and the treatment at the hospital. Mr. Li Hongzhe solved the problems of Qi Gong lovers who were perplexed. He clearly indicated that the powers of Gong should not be sought. The force of Gong is obtained by the cultivation of Xing Xing, the nature of the mind and the heart, the key to helping practitioners to rise. These simple words are what people were waiting for after many years of quest. At that moment, I felt that it was the one I had been looking for for so long. That's exactly what I felt at that moment. It was like, oh, I finally found you. In December 1993, the Falun Gong was the school of Qi Gong, a special guest at the Oriental Hall of Health. Mr. Li Hongzhe was elected member of the committee. This time, many people came to the hall because of their admiration for the name Falun Gong. The 1993 Falun Gong Hall was a great opportunity for the Falun Gong. There were very few people who attended the other stalls of Qi Gong. Only our Falun Gong stand had a crowd of five to seven hundred people all around. As soon as the hall opened its doors, many people ran to our stand and they formed three lines. One line was to register for the martial arts training session. Another line was for the afternoon session because the number was increasing rapidly. The last line was to ask for an autograph from Master Li Hongzhe to sign his book, Falun Gong of China, which was the only book published at the time. That day, in the evening, the hall was quickly closed and there were not many people left. Then I suddenly saw two or three men of my age with an old lady entering hastily. The old lady was wearing a hat from the entrance. It was not an ordinary hat either. She was bent about 45 degrees. With her lower back arched, she followed her children to the hall and went straight to Master Li. Master Li, at a glance, could see the old lady's condition. Then he lifted her back against her chest from behind. The master lifted her and stretched her back. The old lady was lifted from the ground. After that, he spoke to the old lady, saying, Relax, relax, and walk with me. It was a rather vast place and the master went around it once. The old lady simply followed the master. The master turned around and kept telling her, Relax, relax, follow me. Stand up, stand up, stand up. I was just on the side and I saw this scene by chance. I was very moved myself. I saw this old lady standing up inch by inch. The master kept smiling and telling her, Relax and keep walking. Stand up, stand up, and walk with me. Just like that. At that moment, I was very moved when I saw this scene. I thought, wouldn't it be great if a TV channel could record this moment? This person was healed in a few seconds. Then I saw an old man, probably his son, kneeling right in front of the master. He was also very moved because it was his mother who was healed. The master told him, Stand up, stand up, stand up, as if what he had done was nothing. It was just like that, so you don't really know how many people like her have been healed in one day. The results of the show were very good. Many people with a brain tumor, a heart disease and liver cancer were all healed after a visit to our stand. People then knew that it was very magical. There were also paralyzed patients who got up from their wheelchair, threw their canes and started walking. At that moment, some people knelt down in front of the master to express their gratitude. After the activity, some struck a gong or drums as a sign of praise, others sent letters of thanks to be displayed on the side of our stand. It was very lively at that time. During the show, due to Mr. Li Hongzhe's disinterested dedication to the public and the miraculous effects of the Falun Gong, the show's committee and the committee of specialists agreed that the only and only honorable prize, the Fringe Prize for Scientific Progress, should be awarded to Mr. Li Hongzhe. They also awarded him the title of the most popular Qigong master. The Falun Gong, like a sparkling star, eclipsed other Qigong schools from that moment on.
