Zhineng Qigong GonfaXue: How to reach the highest level with the Methods of Zhineng Qigong

Zhineng Qigong GongfaXue (The Study of the Developmental Process of Skills through the Practice of Zhineng Qigong Methods) is the long-lost treasure of the “General Overview of GongfaXue”, originally separated from the main academic textbook The Methods of Zhineng Qigong Science. This valuable material was part of the Huaxia Center's Distance Education Program, and thanks to that, we have been able to recover it for today’s generation of practitioners.

This text, based on the recordings of lectures given by Pang Laoshi on December 11 and 14, 1992, during the Instructor Training Course, offers an in-depth look at the stages of practice and the ways to work with shen, qi, and xing to reach advanced levels—even when practicing only Peng Qi Guan Ding Fa. As the old proverb says, “An inch deeper is worth more than a mile wider.”

The book provides detailed explanations of:

The three foundational levels of practice: External (wài hùn yuán), Internal (nèi hùn yuán), and Central (zhōng hùn yuán)
How to work with shen and qi, from “shen thinks of qi” to “the union of shen and qi”
How to practice with equal emphasis on shen and xing, progressing from “shen thinks of xing” to “the marvelous integration of shen and xing”.

This work reveals that any Zhineng Qigong method, when practiced with the proper understanding and through these progressive stages, can lead you to the highest level of mastery.

Enjoy this rediscovered treasure, and may your gongfu rise ever higher!
