Yes, like everything else, chi is just a medium. But chi is the most
efficient medium.

JMJM,
Who is your teacher? Sorry, I forget the name, Donald.
I agree that our practice must be largely physical to be authentic.
Others who only read from books, or claim to "figure-things-out", are
just barking at a false Moon; their baying is shrill, inhuman, and
ill. Thanks for emphasizing the better -- and only -- way.
Of course, Chi need not be worked on consciously or intentionally. It
comes along for the ride, as, how could it not? It is the reverse side
of the tapestry: it need *not* be both sides! In fact, I would caution
against making it both sides: that is Taoism, instead and not
Buddhadharma. There's nothing to hold on to: not even Chi, in our Way.
By "our", I do not mean possessively: I mean to share this, and all
its fruits. I mean, we already do. So I say "our". Others may like to
"opt out" of this, and act-out somewhere else. Let's let them go!
Thanks, posting,
--Joe
