Zhuan Falun (Turning The Law Wheel)

1
Hi all,

I am an English speaker so I hope that is okay.

I'd like to share something with the board here that I think all you will find very interesting. I have shared this on entheobotanik.net but I feel that the people here would also benefit from this information.

I've come across a fascinating book that talks about high level spiritual things from a scientific perspective. This book is intriguing as it talks about many similar things to what people in mystical states mention such as seeing into parallel dimensions and interacting with beings from other worlds etc.

This book is called Zhuan Falun and it is from the Buddha Law School of Cultivation however it is not Buddhism the religion or Daoism the religion, it's something more profound. It seems to me to be more of a spiritual science as many of the terms and concepts in the book are talked about in a scientific down to earth manner instead of flowery mystical prose which I found very refreshing.



Now here is where it gets interesting, this book talks about the following things:


● Other Dimensions - Levels Of Dimensions spanning into the microcosm and also outwards into the macrocosm


● The Soul - It talks about people having a Master soul and a subordinate soul which is hidden from you but is at a more advanced level then you, it states some people have more then one Subordinate soul and some are of not of the same sex as you i.e males having a female subordinate soul etc.


● Microcosmic worlds - This concept was very far out but it talks about there being worlds within you, countless worlds. Similar to our world with life , water, animals etc. An analogy is zooming an an atom within one of your cells and realizing at that level of magnification it is just like our solar system. Then zooming into a single particle in that world and finding out it too is a vast world, apparently the level it can go onwards like this is beyond imagination.


● Supernatural Abilities - In the book they mention that everyone has them, it is just that they have atrophied. It goes into depth about this topic. Some abilities that are mentioned are precognition, retrocognition and remote vision.


● The 3rd Eye - Talks about how at the front part of our pineal gland there is a complete structure of an eye there. Modern science calls it a vestigial eye but in the cultivation world they say this eye just naturally exists like that and it can be activated allowing one to pierce through this dimension and see other dimensions. It talks about how there are many levels to this 3rd eye and it goes into great depth about it.


● Thoughts - This part was amazing. It talks about how a human brain is just a processing plant. How the real you is actually your soul, it's like your whole body and brain is just a vehicle and that the true commands are issued by your master soul, but this master soul is very tiny and it can switch positions while inside you and it can also expand and shrink. It can move from your brain to your heart and to other parts of your body and it is 'he' who calls the shots. Your brain is just the factory which your master soul sends his cosmic commands to which then create the forms of expression and communication we use such as speech, gestures, etc.


These are just a few things that are covered but there are many many other things which blew my mind when I read it because of how it resonated with some of the mystical experiences people sometimes have, especially the multidimensional nature of reality and how all of them are hidden in our day to day perceptions of the world.


If this sounds interesting to anyone you can grab a copy of the book here:

fa lun actually means "wheel of the law" :) ever heard of fa lun (gong)? i think its not referring to the dharma wheel but to the practice of what westerners call "the microcosmic orbit" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microcosmic_orbit

ive read li hongzhi's book a few years ago. will they put me in a chinese labour camp for having done this?^^ i didnt really like its content. i mean he (li hongzhi) makes bold statements concerning what he calls "Supernatural Abilities" (or other extravagant but meaningless terms) but never gets to the core. theres no single method or meditation-technique mentioned/explained in that book of his

imo ur trollin :denk:

Hi Nursultan,

Yes, Zhuan Falun is the core book of Falung Gong. The only place where they are still persecuting Falun Dafa is in mainland China as the rest of the world supports it, it's terrible what they are doing to these good people.

In regards to the methods and meditation techniques, that's all explained in the Supplementary book called Falun Gong. It expounds on the 5 Cultivation exercises to strengthen one's supernatural abilities and harness energy:

German Version:

http://de.falundafa.org/downloads/books ... -06-30.pdf

Also, there is a 9 day Audio lecture which covers the same material as the core book Zhuan Falun. There are also 5 sets of videos which you can download which explain how to do each exercise in great depth:

I have practiced this Cultivation Way for a few years now and the amount of health, inner well being and energy as well as peace and inner happiness I have received has been incredible. Actually, a whole book has been written about Falun Dafa's healing and rejuvenating effects, you can check it out here:

http://en.minghui.org/html/articles/2005/4/3/59184.html

In regards to the microcosmic orbit, it explains this in great detail in Zhuan Falun. The microcosmic orbit is just the initial stage but in Falun Dafa, the practice goes far beyond this level. This is explained in detail in Talk 8 of the book in the section entitled 'The Cosmic Orbit':

You're welcome Nursultan, I hope you find the additional information helpful, the exercises in my honest opinion are truly remarkable and go far beyond common Qi Gong practices that just deal with health and fitness. You don't have to worry about being persecuted for having this info, only in mainland China is it still being persecuted.

In regards to the immolation incident, that was a hoax orchestrated by the evil Chinese Communist Party. They tried to paint the practice in a negative light so they staged this evil act. You can find the Truth about this here:

http://en.minghui.org/cc/88/

The CCP have a whole propaganda wing just to demonize Falun Dafa, it's insane how much effort this evil government is going to to try to stamp out this practice:

The Daoist practices are also upright Cultivation ways and are legitimate and good. Actually in Zhuan Falun they mention that Shakyamuni spoke about 84,000 different Cultivation ways to reach consumation with only a handle of those being told to the general public and which we know today. Among them are the Buddhist and Daoist teachings as well as the lesser known Qimen practices.

I don't know how things develop in detail in the Daoist practice as I practice Falun Dafa but I know that Daoist Cultivation ways are also very good.

In Falun Dafa they call the tao-embryo the immortal infant. It goes into great depth about it's manifestation and development under the section 'The Mystery of the Mandorla' in Talk 4 of Zhuan Falun. Some exceprts from that chapter:

..Let’s explore what’s meant by “positioning the mandorla.” As a person goes about spiritual practice in the human realm, he will, when he has passed the middle stage and is practicing at an advanced stage, begin to develop an angelic body within. The angelic body is different from what are known as cherubs. Cherubs are small and rascally, and joyfully spring about and play. In contrast, the angelic body does not move, and simply sits in place, motionless, atop a lotus flower with its legs folded meditatively and its hands conjoined in the jie-yin mudra;* the only exception is when one’s soul moves in to control it. The angelic body is born from one’s energy center and can be seen in an invisible, micro realm while it’s smaller than even the point of a needle.

There is something else I should explain. There is just one true energy center in the body, and it is located at the lower abdominal area. It is inside the body and spans from above the perineum to the lower abdomen. Many higher energies, powers, and other abilities as well as spiritual bodies, the angelic body, and cherubs—an enormous array of supernatural beings—are born from this center.

"The angelic body comes into being in the energy center at the lower abdomen, and gradually grows larger in size. When it has grown to be the size of a ping-pong ball, the contours of its body can be made out, with the nose and eyes having been formed. And while it is this size, a small, round bubble will come into being beside its body. The bubble will grow from then on in parallel with the angelic body. When the body has grown to a height of just over five inches (thirteen centimeters) tall, the first petal of a lotus flower will appear. Once the body has reached six-and-a-half to eight inches (seventeen to twenty centimeters) in height, all the petals of the flower will have basically come into shape, forming one tier of a lotus flower, and it will be upon this that the angelic body sits, golden and radiant, and simply beautiful. It is an incorruptible Divine body, and has been traditionally referred to as a “Buddha Body” by Buddhists and as an “Immortal Infant” by Daoists.

In our discipline both this and the body you were born with are developed and needed; this means your innate body also needs to undergo transformation along the way. But as you might imagine, a divine body isn’t something that may be revealed in the secular world. Some people may be able to reveal the form of theirs if they go to great lengths; they can display a glowing figure that might be visible to the naked eye. The body of this dimension, however, will look no different from any other, despite its transformation. The difference won’t be perceptible to people, though this is a body that can travel between dimensions. When the angelic body has grown to be between five and six-and-a-half inches tall, the bubble will have grown to the same size and be translucent like an inflated balloon. The angelic body will sit still in meditation, motionless. At this point the bubble will take leave of the body’s energy center. It is fully developed now and conditions are ripe for it to ascend inside the body. The process of ascension is an extremely slow one, but its daily movement can be perceived. Slowly but surely it moves upward, ascending. You can sense its existence if you pay close attention."
"After the bubble has ascended to the spot where the Middle of the Chest acupoint is, it will stay there for a period of time. It does so because the most essential things of a person’s body are there, and much more (the heart is also located there), and the bubble needs to form a system of these within it. The most essential things need to be supplied into the bubble for its enrichment. Then, after some time, it continues to ascend. Things will feel constricted when it passes through your neck, as if your blood vessels were constricted or swollen, and it feels awful. But after just a day or two the condition will pass. When the bubble has arrived at the crown of the head, we refer to it as “reaching the Niwan Palace.” Though we put it that way, it’s actually as large as your head, and your whole head will feel swollen. Since the Niwan Palace is a critical location for a human being’s life, the bubble will again need to form some essential things within itself while there. Afterwards it squeezes outward through the passageway of the inner eye, and the sensation is hard to bear. That area will feel swollen to the point that it aches, and the temples will feel swollen as well, while the regular eyes will feel sunken. Things will carry on like this until the bubble has squeezed out, at which point it promptly hangs at the position of the forehead. And this is in fact what “positioning” the mandorla refers to—its presiding over that spot."

Hello EnergyGem!

I think it is great to have more English-Language-Speakers here. Unfortunately, I cannot give any insights into Zhuan Falun that you not already know for long (to be honest, I just read the terminus the first time).

Anyways: All the best, I hope you will contribute a lot to this forum!

Hi Nursultan,

Falun Dafa doesn't harm or modify the body in any way. It's healing effects on the body however have been well documented:

To be honest, I just square-read your text yet, and didn't understand much. To make my background clear: I studied mathematical astrophysics, i.e. the general theory of relativity to a PhD level (I have not finished my thesis yet, nor will I do so in the near future). This means that the spacetime has exactly four dimensions to me: the spatials and the time (usually counted as the zeroth). That means that I don't quite understand what you mean by "dimensions", I need to sit down and read your texts more carefully. I just had a look at the book Zhuan Falun, but completely reading it will take me several months. Has another German-speaking member of this forum tips for me if I should read the English or German translation?

PS: right now, I am inscribed at the University of Vienna in the Bachelor studies of Tibetology, but I only did so pro forma - what I did the last semester was visiting a lecture course on ecology which I will hopefully finish soon by a written exam, next semester I want to try to improve my computer coding skills, and perhaps another lecture course in Biology. :)

Although Falun Dafa is one of the 84,000 Cultivation techniques under Buddha Law, it's not part of Buddhism and it's not a Daoist practice per se. It is quite distinct from any other practice and hence the manifestation and process of Cultivation and attaining enlightenment or Buddhahood is different to those other forms. This is mentioned in Zhuan Falun.


Excerpt 1:
Our practice is based on something big—something simply enormous, in fact. This contrasts with the many practices that base their exercises on the movements of wild animals. The teachings given by the Buddha and the Daoist sage Lao-tzu were informed by the workings of the Milky Way. But the practice of Falun Dafa is informed by the processes that underlie transformation throughout the universe, and it is based on its highest expression: the qualities of zhen, shan, ren. And it is this standard that guides us in practice. So the scale of our practice is so big, you could call it cosmic.

Then there is another feature of Falun Dafa that’s incredibly unique and that truly sets it apart. All of the energy practices currently in this world and that are available to the public take the approach of developing an energy cluster, like I described. But with that approach it’s awfully difficult for someone to achieve enlightenment and the realization of his powers while still part of the secular world. We take a different approach in Falun Dafa. In our practice you develop a falun* at the position of your lower abdomen, and I personally bestow it during our classes. As I teach the practice we systematically provide it to each of you, whether you can sense it or not. Most people can, but the qualities of people’s bodies vary.

So our practice develops the falun, not an energy cluster. The falun is essentially a miniature universe and is capable of all that the universe is, and so it can turn automatically of its own accord. It will forever turn in the area of your lower abdomen, once provided to you, and continue to do so without ceasing, year in and year out. When it turns clockwise it automatically draws in energy from the universe, transforms it for you, and delivers it to whatever parts of your body may need this energy for development. When it reverses direction (turning counterclockwise), it sends out whatever matter is no longer needed by your body, in the form of energy, which disperses once it has been sent far away from you, whereafter new energy is taken in.

And I should add that the energy sent out will be of benefit to whomever is nearby you. This is in keeping with the Buddhist belief in helping all of humanity, in saving all life—not just oneself. And so others might benefit in any of various ways, such as by having their bodies put into balance or healed, even though you didn’t intend it. But you won’t be losing energy when it’s sent out. New energy will be brought in again when the falun turns clockwise, and this cycle will continue perpetually.
Excerpt 2:
Our Falun Dafa is one of the Buddhist system’s 84,000 disciplines. It’s never been passed on to the general public before during this period of civilization, but it did once save people on a large scale in a prehistoric age. Today I’m spreading it again widely during this final period of the kalpa’s end, so it’s just extremely precious.

In regards to sexual temptation and retaining the energy of Blood and Essence there is section in the book in Talk 6 under the section 'How Practicing Provokes Evil' that talks about Lust in great detail and how practitioners should deal with it.

In regards to dimensions, in Cultivation they believe that there are more then just the dimensions that are known to man. To understand this I will share with you an excerpt from Master Li Hongzhi (the founder of Falun Dafa) where he expounds on this matter in depth:
“I’ll address one other subject for you, something students can’t explain clearly in cultivation, namely, the “heavens” (tian). According to contemporary science, spaceships have travelled to outer space and flown to many other planets, but they haven’t seen any human beings or paradises of gods, nor were there the scenes of different heavens within the Three Realms that people have talked about. So modern people use this logic to reject religion, deny legends from the past, and negate the most essential nature of human beings.

Actually, the “heavens” that gods refer to isn’t at all the same concept as the heavens human beings see. I often say that molecules compose everything in this material dimension of human beings, while microcosmic matter is the reason for the composition of molecules, and layers of even more-microcosmic matter are the fundamental reasons for the composition of layers of particles at different levels. Gods are in extremely microcosmic worlds, which are nonetheless extremely vast worlds, broad spaces.

The microcosmic worlds and the dimensions formed in the microcosm that I have told you about in each lecture are where gods reside. Think about it: Gods… I mentioned the other day that things in the human dimension, such as air, matter, soil, rocks, iron and steel—everything in this dimension, including your body—are composed of molecules. Yet molecules are the coarsest, most superficial, and filthiest matter in the universe.

These molecules—actually, in the eyes of gods, all molecules—are seen as dirt and considered mud in the universe, and this is the understanding merely at the level of Tathagata. That’s why what was said in the past about Yahweh and N ü Wa using mud to create man was true.

It is because even your flesh is made of molecules, and in the eyes of gods, it’s mud, it’s dirt, and something that is most coarse. Then think about it, everyone: No matter how far spaceships may travel, have they flown beyond the realm of molecules? Say an airplane flies in the sky and you travel from Asia to America. You feel like you have flown rather high and quite far; the fact is, you are merely moving inside mounds of molecules and you are all moving on the ground—this isn’t the heavens in the least.

In the eyes of gods, it is only a matter of different long or short distances within substances of the same level. The dimensions composed of microcosmic worlds are the real heavens that gods refer to. The more refined and microcosmic a substance is, the more quintessential and refined the surface it composes.

Energy exists in all matter, including molecules. It is only because the human body and everything around you is composed of molecules—even the machines you use to measure that energy are also composed of molecules—that you can’t detect the energy of molecules. The more microcosmic the matter is, the more energy it has and the stronger its radioactive power is—the more microcosmic, the more powerful.

That is why gods’ energy and forms of existence are like that. So let me word it a bit more clearly for you: People on Earth see that the Moon, the Sun, Venus, Mars, as well as the MilkyWay, outer space, the remote cosmic bodies, and so on, are all in the heavens. But if you look at Earth from Mars, wouldn’t you say that it too is in the heavens? It’s in the heavens as well. This is an understanding that breaks through ordinary people’s ways of thinking.

But, understood at a deeper level—think about it—what are the heavens? Once you enter a microcosmic dimension, that is the heavens. Let me give the simplest example and tell you a story. In the past, there was a cultivator of the Dao walking on the street while drinking. He suddenly saw someone. This person was just who he had been looking for—someone who could cultivate the Dao. So he wanted to save this person and take him as his disciple.

He asked this person, “Do you want to follow me to cultivate the Dao?” This person’s enlightenment quality and inborn quality were very good, and he said, “I do.” “Do you dare to follow me?” the cultivator asked. The person replied, “Yes, I do!” “Do you dare to follow me wherever I go?” he then asked. “Yes,” was the reply.

The cultivator then said, “Okay. Now follow me!” Saying that, he put his palm-sized wine gourd on the ground, opened the lid, and jumped into the gourd. The person saw that his master had jumped in, so he imitated his master and likewise jumped into the gourd. The bystanders all leaned over and looked inside the gourd. “Wow!” they exclaimed.

There was a vast world inside the gourd, really vast. Viewed with human thinking, how could it be possible for a person so big to jump into such a small wine gourd? That’s because when you want to enter that dimension, everything of your body has to conform to the state of that dimension before you can enter. When you travel through the gaps between different dimensions, your body inevitably enters those states of being.

This is because the more microcosmic particles of matter are, the more vast and broad the planes are at their levels. At the levels of microcosmic particles, the way the gourd manifests is different from the form that human beings see; all particles are connected. What appears to be large or small to human beings is only a form of manifestation in the space-time formed by the same particles. That is to say, the surface of the gourd is formed by molecules, and that’s the shape you see, but the gourd in the microcosm isn’t like this. It is connected to the universe at that realm.

This is something that man cannot understand and that can’t be understood by human conceptions. So, having mentioned a person going up to the heavens, I can say that if you suddenly enter a stone, isn’t that going up to the heavens? It won’t do if you enter the surface formed by the stone substance. You enter the realms of the microcosmic particles that form its molecular particles— aren’t you going to the heavens? Aren’t you in the heavens if you shrink into the microcosmic levels of your body? When you enter the microcosmic particles of the surface particles of dimensions at any level—in other words, enter the layer of particles smaller than that one—you are already in the heavens.

It’s just that the levels of heavens are different, and the microcosmic degree is different. After you enter the microcosm, although you see that you enter the stone, enter your body, or enter a certain thing, you have actually entered the broad universe connected to that dimension. In other words, this isn’t the human way of thinking. I often say that what people refer to as east, west, south, or north, up, down, in, or out, doesn’t exist in the universe, and it’s different from human thinking and concepts. After I explain it like this you will understand, “Oh, it’s not at all like it is when you use human thinking to contemplate it.”

The present-day science is very shallow. It can’t detect or know the real heavens because it crawls within only the current material dimension, and this has limited it. And the science imposed upon man by aliens is thus confined to this. Aliens are living beings in this dimension as well, and they are similarly incapable of knowing the truth of the universe. Man does not believe in gods, and this is no simple problem.

It is man destroying human morality. When man believes in karmic retribution, believes that doing good deeds is rewarded and doing bad deeds meets with retribution, and that whatever man does is watched by gods, man then won’t dare to do evil things. Man knows that doing good deeds will accumulate virtue (de) and be rewarded with happiness, which is absolutely true. But man no longer believes these things; science nowadays doesn’t believe in them, and it considers them superstition. This is exactly swinging the club of science to strike at people’s righteous thinking. Isn’t this striking at the most essential nature of human beings?

When people’s morality, upright beliefs, and righteous thinking are destroyed to the point of nonexistence, people will recklessly do whatever they want to and will resort to any means to achieve their goals. This is one of the fundamental reasons for the deterioration of human society. People in Western society appear to believe in God, but they don’t really believe in God: What they truly believe in is science. Gods are not like what they have imagined, that is, beings with human emotions. Just now I corrected a key concept for you, namely, how “heavens” are to be understood. What gods and human beings mean when they each speak of “heavens” are two different things.

During the course of cultivation, many people sometimes see that they seem to have entered their own bodies. Their bodies are like a vast sky, they move in the sky and walk among the cosmic bodies, and doors are opened one after another as they dash forward. When they take a closer look or expand their minds one step further to take a look, they realize, “Oh, it’s the energy channels in my body being opened.” Let’s think about it. When you are cultivating, your bodies are being changed from the utmost microcosm on up.

So what is the utmost microcosm? Aren’t your other bodies precisely in the heavens and in those realms? It is only that you the person have fallen into the midst of ordinary people, and along with that, you have fallen to where ordinary people are; even the part that’s the most microcosmic has dropped to the level of ordinary people.

However, if you can return through cultivation, everything will be rectified for you, so you will go through that experience. Many cultivators in history have seen those phenomena [that I just described], but they weren’t able to describe it. Sometimes those in the Buddhist religion say that Buddha is in one’s mind, while people in the Dao school say that the human body is a small universe, and so on, and this has to do with their having seen such things.”
