What is the practice of Gong-fu?

The practice of Gong-fu¹⁵ has two attributes.  The first

attribute is to exercise rigid self discipline and maintain

tranquility in one’s heart.  The second attribute is to

eliminate the yin Qi inside the body and restore the True

Self to pure yang or full radiance.

As a man grows, his desires grow.  These desires are the yin

Qi.  The soul originally is pure yang.  When desires grow, the

yin Qi masks the yang soul.  To rid of one’s yin Qi, one must

adhere to his Right Portal and perform good deeds.  Performing

good deeds strengthens one’s yang Qi or aureole.  By adhering

to the Right Portal, one’s aureole is reflected inward, and the

pure yang neutralizes the yin Qi.  When the yin Qi is eliminated,

one’s soul is restored to pure yang.

By adhering to the Right Portal and performing good deeds

tenaciously with balanced efforts, one can attain the ultimate centre.
