1990 - Dicussion of Dao at the Police University (2)

The modern qigong craze in China began in the early 80s, people were curious about qigong, they found it refreshing and magical and hence the passion about qigong was high. Many different pai sprung up and there was a positive environment for qigong growth. For an enlightened master like Master Wang who hide in plain sight, he didn't have intention to teach publicly, instead he used this opportunity to inspect the methods of different schools. There were two reasons that made him change his mind on teaching:

(1) At that time, there were some people who taught under the banner of Longmen Pai but in reality there were fake. In order to maintain the reputation of Longmen Pai, the only way was to teach authentic Longmen Pai neigong.

(2) A party leader was healed by Master Wang in Beijing. He recommended Master Wang to the Chinese Qigong Science Research Council afterward. The research council asked Master Wang to teach a few classes. Master Wang agreed after he had obtained permission from the old masters. In 1985, Master Wang taught the authentic Quanzhen Longmen Pai neigong, "Ling bao tong zhineng neigong shu" (The Art of Spiritual Jewels and Intelligence), for the first time publicly. Through Master Wang's lectures, demonstrations, healing and daigongs etc, the common people got their first taste of what authentic Longmen Pai Neigong is like. Every organizers and students have very high regard of Master Wang. Not long afterward, the Qigong Research Council established a specialized qigong research subdivision for Ling Bao Tong. At that time, under the direction of the Chinese Qigong Science Research council, only Ling Bao Tong and the authentic Buddhist practice, Cangmi Gong, were permitted to have a Category 2 specialized study group established. All other methods were classified only as Category 3. Master Wang also became a major member of the Qigong and Special Ability Inspection Team. Out of the 22 so called "great qigong masters" at that time, Master Wang verified 17.

Of course I also knew about the methods, abilities and level of some of the so called "great" masters. If at university, I looked at and understood qigong from a superficial level, then from that time on, I was looking at it from a higher level, I can see it from a practitioner point of view to learn about qigong, including their levels, advantages and deficiencies.
