Cultivation

## Hundred-day Foundation

The first step of learning Kungfu is the same for any sect, and it is for smoothing the channel of Qi, and building a strong mind and body.

This step in **Taoism** is called the *Hundred-day Foundation(*self-cultivation in meditation)

Buddhism is called "cultivating the body in a fixed way". The common people call it "opening the pulse". Lay the foundation of martial arts practice. There are 365 big orifices in the human body. Each big orifice needs nine breaths of true energy to be sufficient. According to the daily practice time of each person, this step can be completed in about a hundred days to a year. When entering concentration, the six sense organs are pure, without delusions or urgency. After a quarter of an hour, there will be true qi transformed, half of which will go up from the Du meridian to the Baihui point on the top of the head, and then go down to the upper jaw, forming a mouthful of "golden fluid", and the other half will be It goes up from the Ren meridian, reaches the lower jaw, and turns into a mouthful of 'jade liquid'. When 'Jinjinyuye' meets, it will converge into a mouthful of clear and sweet saliva, which is called 'manna' in Buddhism, and then swallow 'manna' and fill it into the corresponding acupoints. When the acupoints are filled with qi, the qi channels can unblock themselves. After the foundation is established, the spirit, energy and spirit are all sufficient, the energy channels are first opened, and the body is strong, so that one can enter the next step of accumulating energy and exercising the body.

## Qi-cultivation

After you finish 'self-cultivation in meditation', you will have sufficient Energy, Qi, and Spirit. Your Qi channels will be opened up for the first time and your body will be sturdy. Only then can you enter the next step 'Qi Storage in Meditation', which we also refer to as 'The Long Cultivation of The Holy'."

Before Enlightenment, depending on your Qi-cultivation and martial arts skill you would be considered “In-class” or “Out-of-class”.

It is also called meditation and Qi storage, and Buddhism calls it "Changing the Holy Embryo". After opening up the dantian, the accumulation of true qi can be divided into small success and great success. Accumulate qi until the qi channels are unblocked and the physical body is tempered first, then turn to repair the viscera and acupoints. After accumulating qi, exhale a mouthful of turbid air and return to the baby to cultivate the inner world and open the natural orifice. When enlightening, you can use specific panacea to help, but a kind of panacea can only work once, and you need to change to a better panacea next time.

## Opening the Nine Apertures (Enlightenment)

Opening (or enlightening) the Nine Apertures is also known as the Enlightenment-level.

### First Step - The Nine Apertures

In this realm, one must first open the nine apertures: the eyes (2), the ears (2), the nose (2), the mouth (1), the anterior yin (1) and posterior yin (1). The apertures are opened in this order so the progression is usually: Two Apertures (eyes) -> Four Apertures (ears) -> Six Apertures (nose) -> Seven Apertures (mouth) -> Eight Apertures (anterior yin) -> Nine Apertures (posterior yin).

Opening Nine Apertures was considered “Third-Class Master”. Six, Seven, and Eight Apertures was “Fourth-Class Master”. Two and Four Apertures were considered only ordinary.

### The Second Step - The Inner and Outer World Harmonization

When you’ve enlightened your Nine Apertures, your next step is enlightening your Primal Aperture between the brows. If you don’t have a good Kung Fu technique or make a hasty breakthrough before gaining Heaven-man Connection, you’ll be stuck at the Half-step Exterior Scenery realm. Your Inner and Outer Worlds will contradict and repel each other. It’ll be hard for you to harmonize both and your hopes of entering the Exterior realm will be minimal. You’ll be considered bad or a low-grade master.

It’s considered a major success to be able to enlighten your Primal Aperture at between the eyebrows. When your realm is stable, you’ll be able to become an ordinary Half-step master after your breakthrough. That can be considered a moderate success. Your Inner and Outer Worlds won’t contradict and repel each other, but since they’re not close enough, you’ll need to spend a lot of time adjusting and polishing them. That’s why some people can breakthrough straight to the Exterior but others can’t.

Once you’ve succeeded in enlightening your Primal Aperture between the brows, your next step is to comprehend heaven and earth, as well as harmonize your body and mind. Once your Inner and Outer World gradually harmonize, that means you’ve achieved Oneness of Heaven and Men. Your every move will carry a might close to that of an ordinary Half-step. If your realm reaches a consummate stage, you’ll be a perfect Half-step after your breakthrough and gain incredible strength. You’ll also have control over your Dharma and Logos of Heaven and Earth. That’ll make you a frightening opponent, far beyond the match of ordinary Half-step masters. However, these are the exceptional masters. Once they have gained enough experience, they’ll be able to make a smooth breakthrough.

Once you reach the Oneness of Heaven and Men stage, you can adjust your Inner World if you have a tentative grasp of a path that suits you. When that's done and you return to your original state, you've basically surpassed the state of your Inner World before your perfect Half-step breakthrough. It wouldn't be enough to merely connect heaven and earth or have insufficient control over your Dharma and Logos. Only this will give you the foundation needed to rise through the ranks in one go.

### Half-Step into Exterior Scenery

Those in the Half-step to the Exterior were known as "Second Class Master".

One would only require three years or fewer to fully attune one's Inner World to reach the level of the Exterior Scenery once they have reached the stage of Half-Step.

Second-rate expert. After the nine orifices are fully opened, practice the ancestral orifice between the eyebrows, open the gateway of life and death, the inner and outer heavens and the earth echo, build a "bridge of heaven and earth", and attract the power of heaven and earth into the body, which is the half-step exterior scene. Can mobilize a little power of heaven and earth. Although the porch has no regrets and the foundation has been established, it can still be adjusted slightly. After the interior scene is finished, the interior and exterior worlds will converge, and the exterior scene will be promoted.

## Exterior Scenery

The inner scene and the outer appearance merge with the heaven and the earth, and one's own soul, body and the power of the heaven and earth combine to form the dharma. Faxiang is the embodiment of one's own path, with specific acupoints as the root, inner scenery as the body, and primordial spirit as the main body, which can induce changes in the world. After the location, you need to cross three ladders, and there will be a qualitative change every three days.

"Grandmaster". Seventy-eight nine heavens. Faxiang and jurisprudence are further blended, just like the essence, can slightly affect the outside jurisprudence, and have a domain.

### The Third Celestial Ladder

"Great Grandmaster", also known as the half-step dharma body. The primordial spirit, the dharma, and the physical body are initially fused, and the dharma is added to the body. Every gesture has great power and countless miracles.

## **Dharmakāya**

## Legend

Also known as Da Neng, Immortal Venerable, Buddha, Little Sage, and Golden Immortal. Shouyuan is long (first due to the Conferred God War, and later due to the shattering of the Nine Heavens, the avenue related to life and vitality was broken, resulting in the decline of life below the other shore), the words follow the law, and can be evolved with the help of the breath of the real world The rules of the universe have been changed or even destroyed and restarted. The first step is to absorb "others and me", enlighten "others and me" into "self", and the second step is to understand "what I am". Only in this way can he become the only one in all worlds and become a legend. If you hook up with him and me, you will gain countless cosmic powers, and the sea of ​​suffering will not sink, and you will not die if you kill him. Self-proven legends will have triple visions when they break through. In the end, it can make the projection of others and me appear with the universe, and naturally derive, that is, the legend is complete. It has legendary characteristics such as "uplifted in the ninth heaven", "everywhere", "perfect in every possible way", "the projection is immortal, and the body is immortal".

## Good Fortune

Also known as the great supernatural powers, the great sage. There are three major conditions for promotion to good fortune, one is to be able to directly feel the erosion of the long river of time, the other is to truly experience the existence of the sea of ​​suffering, and the third is to bring what one has learned close to the illusory road. After the conditions are met, the illusory avenue (that is, the "short-cut thing") can be condensed to achieve good fortune. It can create creations in the void, as well as the power to manipulate the sea of ​​bitterness. Perfect Creation can manipulate the long river of time in the non-real world and permanently change the small-scale rules of the real world. In vivo reality is close to taking shape.

## Other Side

Going back to the unified part of the past, seeing and accepting a certain future (connecting yourself with what must happen in the future, that is, the general trend, but it must be a general trend close to the current node), and then condensing the illusory avenue into an illusory Tao fruit (this can some aspect of what is really called 'Tao'). With the combined force of going back to the past, occupying the future, and illusory Dao and fruit, let the aura of your own nature completely jump out of the long river of time, even if you step out of the sea of ​​suffering and land on the other side, the past, present, and future are omnipresent, forming the real world by itself. After half a step, the real world in the body began to develop towards the heavens and myriad worlds.

### Dao Fruit Prototype

Also known as the ancient, it is necessary to master all the mysteries and mysteries of the heavens and myriad worlds, so that half of the Dao fruit can become a prototype (the mystery in the place of the short path is very helpful for the prototype of the Dao fruit). The embryonic form of Dao Fruit can be traced back to the beginning of the creation of the world, and then with practice, the realm will increase again, going back to before the creation of the world, reaching the root of time, becoming the oldest, and occupying more of the future, until it becomes Dao Fruit, and has no doubts about the future. Know everything. When the product of subtraction and emptiness reaches the embryonic form of Dao and fruit, it will be completed by reducing and seeking emptiness. In the end, it is only necessary to wait for the end of the kalpa to absorb the power of a complete epoch cycle and prove the fruit of Tao. (The oldest universe is helpful for subtraction and emptiness)

## Dao Fruit

There is only one fruit in an era. Unknowable and undiscussed, the real detachment. Omniscient, ubiquitous, omnipotent, a state where you can be wrong if you say it or think about it. The creation of the world can be speculated, but the fruit of the Dao cannot be predicted.
