You certainly have some nerve introducing unknown mindcrap essential to the practise Mr. MJ is doing on a daily basis. > > You'd think that someone who had practiced Hindu yoga meditation for two years, and then practiced the Chinesee qigong meditation for two years, would have noticed the similarity between both traditions. Each have as their goal personal enlightenment and the cultivation of the life-force energy- chi - pure consciousness. According to Grandmaster Wong: "At the highest level, when the mind is purified, one attains enlightenment, also called nirvana, bodhi, or Buddhahood. Attaining nirvana is the highest spiritual attainment." Note on Grandmaster Wong Kiew Kit: The 4th generation successor from the Shaolin Monastery of China. He is a grandmaster of Shaolin Kungfu and Chi Kung. He received the "Qigong Master of the Year" award at the Second World Congress on Qigong held in San Francisco in November, 1997. He also holds an honors degree in humanities, and is one of the very few masters who speaks excellent English.
