Question

I'd like to thank you very much for what your information has done for me and my family.
I purchased your videos about 3 years back but never got round to see them. I'm a master in the Tibetan Lama Burning Palm, so I really concentrated on that particular techniques. Sadly a great tragedy occurred in my life my mother had signs of cervical cancer and "nearly dead" kidney. I was so worried that my yang energy become more in control of me and I started to get blood in my urine and phases. I was in a panic for a very long time and afraid to see a doctor.

Miraculously, I was going through some videos and found "Iron Shirt" course lying about so I nipped it on and watched it. I saw the part when you say about straightening the kidneys. Within a day both me and my mother's kidneys are back up working like Gods knows what!!!

Answer
The practice make you too yang (hot). You need to practice the grounding to balance with Yin (cool) energy.

Question
I have a lot of interests in the Lik Gong Jing area I'm able to move things using my chi. Are you able to do this as well, Mr.Mantak Chia?

Answer
No, I'm not able to do it. The training I do is more in the healing and spiritual work.

Question

It is obvious that one should do good deeds but how does one know if something is good?I have read that people must suffer to eliminate karma,if you heal an illness for example then you are not allowing them to repay karma so is this still a good deed? Or if you stopped someone from stealing something but a person was meant to be robbed how can these be good deeds since you are not allowing them to repay karma?Also,I have read that one cannot really heal anothers illness,since he must repay karma cant you only repress it or transform it into another kind of suffering?I have also heard of two things chi and gong.I have heard they are different and that gong is a high energy matter.If you are familiar with gong can you please tell me its significanse in your system?I have heard that ones primordial spirit leaves the body to practice cultivation.It obtains all the gong not the main spirit(shishen)so that when one dies the shishen must still go through samsara?These things are from Master Li Hongzhi of the Falun Dafa school.I think I have explained it to you correctly.Do you know of the Falun Dafa school?Does your system involve the assistant(primordial) spirit leaving the body to practice cultivation?Sorry for all the questions I am just confused?

Answer
Please read Master Chia's reply to your questions:

1) Good deeds is good to do for every person and every day.
2) Karma: If you believe in it, it will happen. In Taoism we believe to work over our karma. We have many different practices for this. The most easy practice is Feng Shui. When we do our 5 elementary astrology chart we know our element, we learn about the creating cycle and the counteracting cycle and we learn to chose the right food to balance our energy. Practicing the Microcosmic Orbit, the Fusion of the 5 Elements and many more Taoist practices will change our 'karma'.
3) In Taoism we believe that we should not get sick. Only when we exhaust our energy, when we don't take care of us or don't know how to take care of us in a proper way we will get sick. Taoists have 5000 years of experience in healing and taking care of ourselves.
4) Chi (Ki) gong (kung) is one word which means chi - life-force and gong means put time into practice. In the higher practice we use different kind of energy which are higher gong practices but this would take a lot of time to explain.
5) About the primordial spirit: You are talking about the Fusion of the 5 Elements where we create another vehicle waiting for the original spirit (yuenshen). This is the quintessence of our body, the one you carry with you forever.
6) Falun Dafa means turning the wheel. This is what we do with the Microcosmic Orbit.

Wishing you all the best and do the practice and it will happen.
Love, yours Jutta
