年轻一代不练气功,中国的气功就不会有前途. [复制链接]

在过去我们就注意到了练气功的群体里,绝大部分都是40岁以上的中老年,年轻人几乎没有.
现在的年轻人已经没有了气功这个概念了,即使是有那么一点模糊的感觉也就是负面的:
害人不浅的邪教,控制人的心志灵魂.

练气功的都是些没文化的老头子和老太婆,被人愚弄.

现在是现代社会,五光十色的诱惑让人根本对传统气功没兴趣,有病了可以去医院,人的七情六欲表露无疑.

跟好朋友一提起气功立刻气氛不对,跟外国人说静坐(MEDITATION)反而如谈家事...
真令人哭笑不得.

不止一两个了，朋友一听到我在气功论坛里转悠，第一个反应就是：“你练FLG啊？！”
　　跟他解释一通，又说：“我觉得气功是那些老头老太们练的，怎么你也感兴趣呀？”
　　唉，真的有些悲哀！

很正常。不过看吧，随着科学的进展，接触过没练的，大多会后悔。

Smile: With understanding of the
"law of impermanence" (wu chang fa ze)

It is normal for changes. Everything has ups and downs -- it is history !
Just take it with "ping chang xin" (ordinary heart) - qigong existed for more than a thousand of years -- it has it's own vitality. We don't need to worry.

Da xiang wu xing, da sheng bu zuo.
(The great path has no form, and the great teaching does not need to do anything)

When it is up, we have a lot of activities.
When it is down, we slow down, rest and sum up experiences.
So that we can improve in the future !

The great teachings has no 'fixed method/form".
We just need to live our daily life with great compassion, and treat others with respect in families and society....... that is "qigong"......

ping chang xin si dao (The way to keep an ordinary heart)

All teaching ultimately is the purification of our "heart and mind".
We can do it well everywhere under all situations and all the time.
No one is restricting us, we are restricting ourselves !
Smile !

P.S. Don't worry about the young generation:
They have their own time, own method, own name to do. That may or may not be the same like the older generation.

Yoga in the West is introduced as an exercise for "mind, body, and spirit".......
Mainly for health purpose.
It does not talk jargons such as:

Faith, special ability, religion, dogmas, heavenly eyes, E.S. P, mysticism, deviations .......and attach no "Indian patriotism/ chauvinism".

It is "localized" like any ordinary thing in the West.
It is just one of the exercises such as jogging, aerobic...etc. to choose from.
It focuses on teaching: postures, breathings, and meditations. All the normal business.

Haha....most of the teachers are "Westerners" in the classrooms.
Very few "Indian" teachers .......Many ashrams (Yoga schools) with hundreds or thousand of people .....only very few Indians.........haha......all in English.....not Indian.
No need to read classical Indian texts. (eg. Bagava Gita etc.)

Of course, they usually have a famous "Indian Guru/ Rama" who speaks good English and lead Western students........!!! And the students respect their Indian Rama/Guru very much.

(Most of the Yoga schools in the West are like this)

The schools usually also teach other subjects, such as: Vegetarian cooking, message, reflexology, aromatherapy, herbal medicine, aveda medicine (Indian natural remedy), meditation............etc.
Like resorts (vacation retreat).......on beautiful moutains, in the woods, by the beaches........with acres of lands, beautiful and modern buildings...
A lot of people just go to take a vacation and recuperate.

Some famous ones in the West: Kripalu Center, Omega Institute, Yoga Anada Ashram, Sivanada Yoga..........

Websites: Kripalu Center
www.kripalu.org

Yoga Ananda Ashram
www.santosha.com

Sivanada Yoga
www.sivanada.org

Read their websites. It is eye opening !!

Qigong is very far behind !
(Forget about it.
Many of us cannot tolerate English in the qigong forum. How can we tolerate qigong to be taught by Western teachers in English ?
Also, I haven't seen any Chinese qigong teacher speaks English good enough in the West.....there are 100 things we cannot do ourselves !!
If one day qigong happens like yoga in the West .......I think many people will cry about loosing "national treasure" to the hands of the Westerners........!
Forget it, forget it...)

Want more infomation ?

P.S. Yoga is taught at almost every universities and public school as a school subject by Western teachers !!!
