Product DescriptionFor over one thousand years, Da Mo’s timeless Classics have been considered the key to enlightenment and long-lasting youth. Now, Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming, one of the world’s leading authorities on Qigong, has made these ancient and profound teachings accessible to everyone! # Paperback: 304 pages# Publisher: Ymaa Publication Center; 2 edition (May 9, 2000)# Language: English# ISBN-10: 1886969841# ISBN-13: 978-1886969841http://www.amazon.com/Qigong-Secret-Youth-Changing-Classics/dp/1886969841/Excellent book for those with Chi-Gung knowledge/experience, October 15, 1999By Rich S. “Rich S.” (LI, NY) – See all my reviewsThe previous comments on this book are basically accurate. The reader is correct that it does not go into detail regarding the small circulation, but that’s cause it wasn’t meant to. Dr.Yang mentioned in the beginning that you should have already read and accomplished some part of the Yi Gin Ching before going on to this volume. Also he mentions that you should have READ and UNDERSTOOD what was written in his previous books, “The Root of Chinese Chi-Gung” and “Chi-Gung, Health and the Martial Arts”. The Health and the Martial Arts book is where the Small and Grand circulation is mentioned and taught in much greater detail.I have been into REAL Gung-FU, Wu-Su for twenty-two serious years now and for fifteen years when I first wrote this review. I know that what Dr.Yang is talking about is correct because I was taught, or heard my instructors talking about the same things as Dr.Yang for years before I read his books. I was taught by a student of a Gung-Fu Master that grew up in one of the last Shaolin Temples that was destroyed in 1927. He is now over one hundred years old and looks like he’s about sixty, with a strong solid physique, so you can be sure that he knows that Marrow washing Chi-gung as well.Dr. Yang states repeatedly in his books that you must make sure that you read and understand all the theory and comprehend it BEFORE you go on to the next level of material. Train smart and slow, NOT stupid and fast as Dr. Yang repeatedly states in his books. Just cause you may not understand something, don’t assume that it’s the authors fault. I’m not saying that it’s all perfect, some things could be a little clearer. But being into physics myself since I was about 6 years old, and that fact that Dr.Yang also has a degree in Mechanical engineering, has greatly helped him in his ability to break down and explain the material from both a spiritual and physical point of view and from both the eastern and western view as well.Overall he has done and excellent job in his material and I personally owe him many thanks. The knowledge has helped me to grow and learn even more and faster than I was before and attain new levels of health, fitness, youthfulness, energy and more. It also helps me when teaching my students as well. You don’t have to be into physics though to understand the material. It is difficult to understand no matter how you look at it. Even with my experience, I took Dr.Yangs advice and read each book about thirty times, some sections more than that BEFORE I started doing anything in the books, that is what you must do to, especially if you are a newcomer to the field.Read “The Root of Chinese Chi-Gung” first. Read it over and over if you have to, then go on to the “Eight Pieces of Brocade” then to “Chi-Gung-Health and The Martial Arts” then, after at least two years, if you understand and have done those things seriously and accomplished at least the small circulation, I would say that you could begin some of the material in The Marrow washing volume. Follow the same pattern of reading it many times over and UNDERSTANDING the material well BEFORE you practice what is written in there. Also, FOLLOW the rules for Chi-Gung practice that are written therin and DO NOT take them lightly. I am speaking from experience here, you CAN mess yourself up and your health if you do not follow the rules that are given to you by Dr.Yang. This is especially important for MEN who are generating and converting semen from the testicles. Don’t waste that chi through excess sexual activity, stress, getting mad, run down or such. Women must also make sure that they limit chi loss at that time of the month as well as follow the same rules regarding stress both emotional and physical too. Fortunately I know some other healing techniques that I was able to fix what had been done to me and replace the lost chi, which was my own fault, no one else’s.The techniques are safe and glorious, as long as you don’t rush or take the information and warnings lightly. Do it right and you won’t believe the results that you will get. Email me at Richsifu at gmail dot com for more info or questions. Just like driving a car is safe when you follow the rules of the road, you should be able to go for a lifetime without any accidents or problems. Take care, all the best to you in you Chi-Gung journey. Please contribute back by OCRing *and* Spellchecking/Proofreading (!) this book. I recommend ABBYY Finereader 10 for doing this work in a relatively easy way. There are other applications as well. The important thing is to spellcheck and correct any mistakes the automatic software run did – often people just run automatic conversion and upload here a pdf that has many mistakes and/or can’t be converted to other digital formats.  If you start to do the process please leave a comment here so the effort won’t be duplicated by others. Thank you.
