Abstract:
<The Secret of Golden Flower>( Taiyi Jinhua Zongzhi or The
Doctrine of Taiyi and Jinhua)is the classics of Inner Alchemy of The Complete Reality
Taoism( Quanzhendao). This book stresses actual methods other than the
profound theory. The book disclosed the essential meaning of Xingtraining: The
Yuanshen lives in Fangcun motionless,all people's thoughts and passions
have nothing to do with it,overwhelming majorities of practice or cultivation belong
to the Ming() training or the cultivating of will of the people morals,which cannot
affect the Yuanshen.The Yuanshen has the light, this light dispersing between the
universe and all the limbs and bones of human body. To train the Yuanshen is only to
train this Light,initially to turn the light back, subsequently gather and subsequently
congeal. Only when it congealed as a Natural Body() , the Yuanshen is willing to
move and become active. It is also at this stage, the practitioner can see the True
Nature( who you are) of yourself. This is the method of Xing training or the
cultivating of the Yuanshen that <The Secret of Golden Flower> gives us.
In 1899,Mr Wilhelm from Germany came to China, studied the Tao( the Way)
for 21 years. He got this book and learned Inner Alchemy of The Complete Reality
Taoism. After returning to homeland, he translated this book into the western
language, named it as <The Secret of Golden Flower>. He taught his disciples to
practice the methods he learned in china, some won initial success, which mean they
saw the Mandala. In 2007,The Dragon Gate( Longmen) successor of The
Complete Reality Taoism Wang Liping taught eight students the Inner Alchemy.
Several days later, six of them saw the Mandala. This article recorded this training.

First, what book is <The Secret of Golden Flower>?

The <The Secret of Golden Flower> is the classics of Inner Alchemy of Taoism. It
is included in <The Collected Essentials of Taoist Canon> and <The Continued Taoist
Canon>, but there is small difference between the two editions, they all contain 13
chapters, and each topic is also same, the writing in the first chapter differs a little ,
but the general idea of two editions do not have much difference, therefore the
difference of this kind of edition will not influence your practice.
<The Secret of Golden Flower> is the classics of practice and cultivating,it
elaborated the Inner Alchemy and its idea and technology directly, but did not
elaborate the profound theory emphatically. Because this book's full name in <The
Taoist Canon>() is <Lu Zu Xiantian Yiqi Taiyi Jinhua Zongzhi>
,people consider Lu Dongbin as the author. But it is not possible, if you
inspected this book careful. Because in the opening of each chapter, it starts with
Ancestor Lusaid that or God Lusaid , Lu Dongbin
was impossible to call himself as Ancestor Lu or God LuIn the first chapter
of<The Secret of Golden Flower>,it has such a few words Since the establishment of
the Tao( the Way) by Taishang, Donghua passed it to Yan, The Complete Reality
Taoism(Quanzhendao) eventually spread all over china when it is divided into two
main traditions, Northern and Southern. This tells the inheritance of Taoism and the
history of <The Secret of Golden Flower>. Taishang is Lao-tzi() , Donghua
or Donghuadijun is Han Dynasty's Wang Xuanpu(),who
passed this method to Tang Dynasty's Lu Dongbin (Lu Yan).Taoism was divided into
the north-south two parts during Song Dynasty.The northern ancestor's main
representative is The Complete Reality of Taoism(Quanzhenpai) established by Wang
Chongyang(),The Complete Reality of Taoism(Quanzhenpai) was formed in
Southern Song Dynasty which is 300 years late compared with Tang Dynasty that Lu
Dongbin lived. The book mentioned North-South two parts and The Complete Reality
of Taoism (Quanzhenpai), could Lu Dongbin possibly write down matters in the book
after death more than 300 years later? Therefore it is impossible for Ancestor Lu to
write this book. But in the book each chapter also by Ancestor Lu said that or God
Lu said outset, the reasonable explanation should be, the principle and method that
<The Secret of Golden Flower> narrated indeed should be the Ancestor Lu taught and
passed on, but the after formation of text should be written by some master of

Southern Song Dynasty which is 300 years later than Lu Dongbin s time, very
possible was Wang Chongyang(),the founder of The Complete Reality of
Taoism (Quanzhenpai).

Second, two historical phenomena

<The Secret of Golden Flower> is the secret cultivation Classics of The
Complete Reality of Taoism. Until modern timesMr.Richard Wilhelm(.
) from Germany passed it to Europe. In 1899, he arrived at China as a
Christianity missionary. His original intention was to teach Chinese The Christianity ,
let Chinese to believe in God. He stayed in Qingdao a place close to Mt. Laoshan.
Mt. Laoshan is an old and famous ancestral home of The Complete Reality of Taoism.
He was predestined to find the authentic Complete Reality of Taoism .Being a scholar
with belief, rigid and realistic, Wilhelm immediately subdued by the mystical
profound theory and cultivation. He lived in China for 21 years and he learned The
Complete Reality Taoism's orthodox cultivation methods in Mt. Laoshan. After
returning to homeland, he translated The Complete Reality Taoism's important
classics<>(Taiyi Jinhua Zongzhi or The Doctrine of Taiyi and Jinhua) into
German language, named it as" The Secret of Golden Flower. This is the first time
for this important Taoism classics being turned into foreign language, it had aroused
the interest of Western world. Afterward, this book was translated into English,
French, Italian,Japanese,Korean and so on. Here is an interesting phenomenon: being
very near to China, had learned a lot of Chinese culture and tradition, Japan and
Korea did not obtain these classics, cannot learn the method of this set of cultivating
from the Taoism, but detoured Germany to obtain this book.

More importantly, Wilhelm trained his European disciples with the Xing
training( Xing Gong) he learned from The Complete Reality of Taoism , finally
some people saw the marvelous flashing design, he said that the chart of this
bewilderment was the Mandala. Actually the word of Mandala, European first knew
from Indian Buddhism classics. Mandala is one kind of plant, can make person have
phantasm, afterward some Buddhist classics, like " Da Ri Jing"(), "Jin Gang
Ding Jing " and so on borrowed this word for a special phenomenon of
seeing a bright marvelous design in front of eyes in the training process. Training to
this step makes the practitioners state of mind and personality very different from
others, it seems like a probable influence by that plant, Mandala,thus the light chart
is called Mandala. Afterward some people draw the Mandala they saw during their
training, is called the printed Mandala. The Mandala generally the ordinary people
saw is only the printed Mandala. Only to the certain extent, practitioner can see his
own Mandala, this is the real Mandala, which can reflect the information of the
universe and life and their influence.
Under is the Mandala that William's disciple saw.

successor of Dragon Gate(Longmen) school of The Complete Reality of Taoism Mr.

Wang Liping gave 8 Europeans an intensive training according to the principle and
methods of <The Secret of Golden Flower> for eight days. Some saw the Mandala
from the sixth day, when to the end of the training, six saw the Mandala. Below is the
schematic diagram that they draw.

At that time the students asked Wang Liping curiously, why they see these things?
What are they? These questions are connected with the theory and methods of Xing
and Ming of The Complete Reality of Taoism. The Mandela is only a meaningful
phenomenon appeared during this kind of training, but the theory and methods of
Xing and Ming of The Complete Reality of Taoism are completely recorded in <The
Secret of Golden Flower>.

Third, the theory and methods of Xing and Ming of The

Complete Reality of Taoism disclosed by <The Secret of
Golden Flower>
All Taoism Inner Alchemy classics and the classics of traditional medicine of
china use Xing and Ming as basic concept in their theory and practice. If you do not
know these concepts, you can never understand their classics. Xing and Ming formed
a world, the world of life. Xing and Ming are very important concepts which are the
fundamental concept in Taoism. As the Xing and Ming are the essential concept, the
idea system of Taoism was set by thinking, discussing and explaining these concepts.
But till now, there are many explanation and understanding about them. To what
extent or level you understand of these concepts will decide how far or how high you
could reach in cultivation.
Ming refers to the variable part of life,which will change or can be changed;
but Xing refers to the invariable part of life which will not change or cannot be
changed. Human's body has the birth and growth, senility, death, may fall ill or suffer
some disease and recover, therefore the body is variable, it changes or can be
changed during ones life; Human's emotion and feeling is also variable, it will change
according to the change of place, the change of mind; mind changes as surroundings
and thing change, one may feel happy or get angry. One can change his mind and
improve his nature to be perfect by cultivation and practice; Desire will change also,
there are many religious disciplines to limit or restrict desire in Buddhism and Taoism.
These disciplines will become useless if desire cannot be changed; Ones idea and
thought change too, as one learned more from other. As mentioned above, body,
feeling. Mind, desire, idea and thought change and can be changed, so they are all
included in the Ming. Ming training (Ming Gong) is the practice to improve them so
as to be a healthy, kind, quiet, peaceful, and wise person. But this kind of practice
cannot change the Xing, no matter how high one reached. So Ming Gong cannot take
the place of Xing training(Xing Gong).The key aim of both Buddhism and Taoism is to
practice Xing, because Xing can change one s birth and death.
What is XingIt will not change during ones life,it has no birth and death, is not
variable and has no motion. Does it really exist? The Buddhist and Taoism definitely believe
that the XING do exist! And it might be tested. They both believe that the ultimate goal of
training and cultivation is for the training of XING. Buddhism call it Nature of Buddha,

which has no birth and death, without increase and decrease, even without moving
all the time.Taoism call it Yuanshen or Real Nature, Real self( Zhenxing)which
stands alone without change, quieted and serene, although moving circularly but never
stopping. The names of it might be called differently between Buddhism and Taoism, but they
were saying the same thing. Regarding this XING, both Buddhist and Taoist think is invisible
and unspeakable, but it can be experienced and recognized only by practice through the
biological phenomena.

Romania Orientalis http://orientalis.ro

Lao Zi Academyhttp://laoziacademy.us

In the first chapter of <The Secret of Golden Flower>, it said: "I pass on this
training, it goes straight forward to the training of XING, shall not fall into any other
way, so it's wonderful and subtle. Above all, the training of<The secret of golden
flower> is focused on "Xing training". It was said in this book:Tao or Way has neither
name nor shape, it is only the Nature or Yuanshen.So the Nature and Yuanshen are
the same thing. Yuanshen and Shishen() are just a pair. The thinking, idea and
desire are included in Shishen. As for Yuanshen or Nature and its function, it is
explained in the second chapter of the book: When one was born, Yuanshen stays in
Fangcun,Shishen lives in heart. The hearts form likes a big peach, with lung
covering it, liver assisting it, large and small intestine bearing it. If one did not eat for
a day, it will be uneasy, even frightened to be upset, angry to be stifled, sad by seeing
dead, dizzied by beauty and charming. It seems ones head is moved by this kind of
things, but in fact Yuanshen cannot be moved by these. Can fangcun move? How can
Yuanshen who stays in fangcun move? If it moved, it is both bad and wonderful, it is
bad when one was dead it would go away; it is wonderful when ones light
crystallized into a Nature Body, it is starting to move. This is the secret kept for
thousand years.This paragraphs meaning is: one have two Shen(),one is Yuanshen,
the other is Shishen. Shishen is also called mind which controls ones desire and
thought. Why ones desire and idea change alwaysIt is because Shishen moves all
the time. Yuanshen or Nature which stays in fangcun does not move at all, no matter
how ones desire and idea changed which cannot influence it, it would go to start a
new life only when one was dead. So the practice of Shishen may change ones desire
and idea, it is only the cultivation of Yuanshen which can change ones birth and
death, since Yuanshen knows the truth and law of birth and death, so it is able to
stop reincarnation, then transcend into the universe. As its ultimate aim is just to
know the truth and law of birth and death, The Complete Reality of Taoism pay more
attention to the cultivation of Yuanshen(Xing training).
What is the principle to cultivate Yuanshen? Although the Yuanshen is
motionless, it has the light, its light dispersing between the universe and human
body's limbs and bones. It will become a Nature Body if you carry on cultivating this
light by turning it back, collecting and congealing. It will move when its light becomes
a Nature Body .This is the principle to practice Yuanshen given by <The Secret of
Golden Flower>(The Doctrine of Taiyi and Jinhua).From The title of this book one can
find this principle too,in the first chapter it said :Taiyi is ones most
important thing, Jinhua is its light.Taiyi is ones Nature or Yuanshen, Jinhua
is the light of Nature or Yuanshen. The relation of Yuanshen and its light like the
electric charge just like its surrounding electric field, if the light of Yuanshen is trained,
the Yuanshen will be influenced also. The training method is to let the radiation light
return, collect and stay in front of ones Fangcun. This method is called Turning the
light back.Usually peoples light only radiate, but the practitioner want to
cause the light of that radiated to return. <The Secret of Golden Flower>said:The
method of training the light is to use Reversal way.How to do it? <The Secret of
Golden Flower>unlocked a special technique of The Complete Reality of Taoism: use
eyes to do it. <The Secret of Golden Flower>explained the theory basis of this unique

Romania Orientalis http://orientalis.ro

Lao Zi Academyhttp://laoziacademy.us

technology:The essence of ones body all comes to eyes, this is the key point for
practice.<The Yellow Emperors Classics of Internal Medicine>()knew this
secret early:The essence of ones body all goes to the upper empty holes. <The
Secret of Golden Flower>further indicates the eyes are the most important empty
holes:The eyes are the gate or door, by which Shen light() leak or run away. This
is the easiest and smooth way for one to lose his Yuanshen.As eyes are the main
door to lose Shen light, <The Secret of Golden Flower>selected eyes to turn the light
back. As for the detail technique, <The Secret of Golden Flower>said:When put all of
ones desire and idea aside, one may use Buddhism word yi () to practice, one
should put the middle dot into the middle point between eyebrow, the left dot into
left eye, the right dot into right eye. In this way the Shen light of two eyes will meet
at the middle point of eyebrow. The middle point of eyebrow is Tianmu( the
third eye),which is the gate for these three light to meet and come in and go out.It
said:If one could practice Turning the light back longer, the light will congeal,
namely will become a Natural Body.So if one can cause the light of that radiated to
return, gather and congeal into a Natural Body,then that motionless Yuanshen
probably will start to move, this is the goal of Turning the light back.
<The Secret of Golden Flower> put forward Turning the light back as the basic

principle of Xing Gong, and gave the technique of using eyes to train ones light. The
book considered not only Taoism realized the importance of Turning the light back,
but also other. In chapter three, Turning the light back and keeping it in the center
it said:It was transmitted from one great master or sage to the next, Reversal
looking is the key point (Reversal looking is same as the Turning the light back).
Confucian called it Knowing to stop,Sakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism called it
Vision of the heart', the Lao-Tzi called it` Inner vision', they all grasped the key
point.This paragraphs meaning is: the principle of Knowing to stop by
Confucianism, the Vision of the heart by Buddhism, the Inner vision by Lao-tze,
are describing the same thing, Turning the light back. Although the principle is same,
the method and technique are actually not same. <The Secret of Golden
Flower>proposed the method of using eyes to practice. It also said the Stop and look
method and Tuning the breathing method by Buddhism are all the methods to
practice Turning the light back. The light here is not only the light seen by eyes, also
the other light, so the light is called Xing light( Xing Guang).<The Secret of Golden
Flower> emphasized:Even a blind person can do this practice.Because the light one
is going to practice is the light of Xing, light of eyes is only part of it. When talking
about Stop and look method by Buddhism, <The Secret of Golden Flower>said:first is
to stop looking outside, then look inside. if only stop without looking inside, it is
called stopping without looking; if only looking without turning it back, it is called
looking without taking it back.So Stop and look is also a method to practice
Turning the light back, but this light is the light of thinking. As for Tuning the
breathing by Buddhism, <The Secret of Golden Flower>considered it is same to train
light by ears as by eyes, it said:When to train light by eyes, look inside but not
outside; when to train light by ears, listen inside not outside. <The Secret of Golden

Romania Orientalis http://orientalis.ro

Lao Zi Academyhttp://laoziacademy.us

Flower>indicates the methods mentioned above by Buddhism and Taoism are the

methods of Turning the light back, their purpose is to collect the radiation light then
turn it back, not only The light seen by eyes is Xing light, also includes other light. If
one understood this principle,he could master the outline of Xing gong, the book
said:Understanding of this, one can live longer, and transcend into the universe, is
mastered by Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.
What is the Mandala seen by practitioner? Does it have any relations with
yuanshen, Jinhua, and Turning the light back, which are the important concept
mentioned in the book? In fact, the Mandela is the light of ones Xing or Yuanshen.
One has found his Xing light if he saw Mandala.<The Secret of Golden
Flower>considered seeing Mandala means one just began to know how to turn the
radiation light back and this is a very important and meaningful phenomenon in
cultivating process ,it indicates one has understood the principle and grasped the key
point of practice. If one continues to practice in this right way, one may reach to
higher steps as the light begins to bloom the light is just in blooming, and the
light congealed. When you reached step of congealed, your Yuanshen will begin to
move and become active. When yuanshen moves, one may find the truth of life.

Forth, Record of practice

As a researcher, I tracked the entire processes of training these 8 foreigners
by Mr.Wang Liping.The following is the records of idea, design, and procedure of the
training as well as the various phenomena occurred during the training.
When the training started, what Mr. Wang Liping first paid attention was to
transfer the student body's vitality vigor,he said that Taoism cultivating takes the Xing
Gong achievement as the ultimate goal,but must take the Ming Gong as the
foundation,if one does not have the Ming Gong foundational merit he could not
reach high level in cultivation. Therefore initial several days he took the Ming training
as the primary coverage,observed and controlled the changes of students body
emphatically,after several times exercise,all students had the phenomenon of Qi()
movement through meridians,although each students Qi movement is different
from others, identically they had a common rule: Qi at first from leg, the three
meridian of foot, started to generate , at this time the movement of Qi is in the leg,
along with practice, the movement of Qi climbed to the abdomen gradually, at this
time Wang Liping guided the students to make a little change of gesture, afterward
obviously the Qi reached three yin meridian of hand by going up from the foot, then
the movement of Qi was in the meridian of the upper body and arm, later to the
yang meridian from yin meridian of hand, finally from the hand yang meridian rose
to the head, then returned to the three yin meridian of foot finally. On each transfer
point of meridian, Wang Liping would guide them to make a little change in gesture,
in order to lead Qi to change route, which is very important. So how to grasp or seize
the right time or opportunity is the key. When the Qi has not arrived at the switch

Romania Orientalis http://orientalis.ro

Lao Zi Academyhttp://laoziacademy.us

point of transfer one cannot do something to lead Qi, only when the Qi reached the
transfer point of meridian, at this time to do something is effective. Wang liping
said,some people do not know this, as they do not understand the principle of Qi
movement of body, they could not grasp the transfer point to go forward,so their Qi
always repeatedly move in the same meridian,the whole meridian of body could not
be connected well to form a circle, thus they could not go further ,always stay at the
same stage in cultivation.So the ability of grasping the transfer point to do something
or just waiting without action is the key in practice, When to do something or When
to do nothing in practice? These depend on your understanding of the mechanism of
body. If you have learned some knowledge of Chinese medicine, to master it will
become easier for you, because Taoisms' theory is consistent with Chinese medicine
theory, the two stems come from the same root.
After Qi passed the whole bodys meridian, it went to internal organs, the
internal organs movement of Qi started in form of tremor. For some students, the
tremor transferred from one organ to another until all five organs passed in circle.
Some student said, I felt in clearly the internal organs will not be the tremor, but will
be one kind of liquid in flowing. Regardless of internal organs tremor or liquid
flowing, the transmission had a definite direction and order,which matched the
generating order of five internal organs of Chinese medicine.Wang liping told
students, at this moment do not use any attention to guide the movement, and do
not forget to feel the movement, when it circulated to the last organ,use your
attention to lead it down to your lower Dantian().As soon as your attention
reached lower Dantian,your Qi followed and gathered there ,then your
lower Dantian will be full of Real Qi Zhenqi.Then,all students felt their lower
Dantian started to move, became warm and hot.
Later, the training was turned to Xing Gong. Wang Liping told students to lead
their attention to Upper Dantian() from lower Dantian.At this moment the
formula Wang Liping told students is,neither attention nor will is needed, in fact, do
not think, do not imagine, eyes still closed, just look at Xuanguan in front of
eyes, with the whole body relaxed and attention focused on looking. By several times
practice, some saw a small bright light,Wang Liping guided, pay attention to this
small light, to stabilize it. This small bright light is the light of Yuanshen, present's
phenomenon is the appearance of Xing Light(Xing Guang). <The Secret of Golden
Flower>said, this light of Yuanshen radiates naturally but is not easy to gather; it is active,
but is not easy to congeal, since this light presented now, our present's duty is to
practice, train this small light stable and bright, collect this scattered in disorder Xing
light, let it congeal, this method is called Turning the light back in <The Secret of
Golden Flower>,if you turn the light back for a long time, this light will congeal. By
several times training, the small light or luminous spot became stable and bright;
Wang Liping guided the students to move this luminous spot by will, this moving of
the light was different from the original moving which was scattered freely in
disorder. He told the students to move the luminous spot to a special position,
Xuanguan, put that stable Xing Light(light of Yuanshen) in the place of Xuanguan and
look at it. Practiced for several times, some students saw the marvelous Mandala,

Romania Orientalis http://orientalis.ro

Lao Zi Academyhttp://laoziacademy.us

around only 8 days intensive training, 6 students saw the Mandala, certainly these 8
individuals had certain foundation,they are healthy, and they all like Chinese
traditional culture, thought, have some knowledge of Taoism. Seeing Mandela means
the radiated and scattered Shen light has been taken back and gathered in front of
Tianmu, this is an important step in Xing training of The Complete Reality of Taoism.
In <The Secret of Golden Flower>,it described several steps in Xing light(Shen
light or light of Yuanshen) training, first is The light begins to bloomSeeing
Mandala belong to this step; to practice deeply The light is just in blooming, at this
step, body relaxed totally mind opened completely, everywhere is bright; finally is
The light congealed completely. If you reach the step of Congealed, the Xing light
will be congealed into a Natural Body, and then your Yuanshen stayed in Fangcun
without motion will begin to move and become active. When Yuanshen moves, one
may find the truth of life, so only up to this step you could know how to jump out of
the three realms, transcend into the universe. Therefore obviously seeing Mandala is
the symbol of knowing how to train Xing light, which The Complete Reality of Taoism
emphasized.
I asked Mr. Wang Liping afterward, the Taoism cultivation in the ordinary people
mind is one kind of mystical thing, many people tried, but few success, why this
intensive training can have such good effectWang Liping said that this is certainly
decided by many factors,but I thought a very essential factor that influence the result
of training is, the master must seize the opportunity to do something or do nothing,
knowing when only to follow the Qi, when to lead the Qi when it comes to the
transfer point; when to let the Shen light show itself, what you need to do is just
looking at it , when must to do something to put the Shen light in the place of
Xuanguan, in brief, to do something sometimes or to do nothing sometimes, it
depends on masters understanding of training principle,and the ability to master the
training technique and his real experience,also the ability to grasp student's
physiology and psychological characteristic is important. As <The Secret of Golden
Flower> said: There are many formulas in Daoism cultivating, it is not simply just to
follow it, achievement only rely on your knowing at what time to do something and
what time to do nothing.
In recent years in the world, more and more people are interesting and pay
attention to the theory and practice method of Chinese Taoism, some from medicine,
some from cultivation, some from philosophy, some from theology, regardless of
from any angle to research Taoism theory, so long as you want really to understand it,
you must enter the world that the Taoism described,the world of Xing and Ming, just
like Lao-Tzi said looking the body by the body, looking the family by the family,
looking the township by the township, looking the country by the country, looking
the world by the world, this why do I know the world ? The meaning of this
sentence is if you hope to understand this world you should observes it with this
world's knowledge, to be specific, you cannot study the world of Ming and Xing with
the mechanical world outlook. The outlook of Xing and Ming is a new world outlook,
is completely different from the mechanical world outlook ,which the modern
science already has been used to ,and by it to research the material and energy world.

An important condition is to understand the Taoism theory could not only depend on
the speculation, but must have the actual study and practice, explained clearly but
unable to do certainly is not really understand or clear.
We hope that Chinese ancient unique Taoism culture will open a new world for
modern peoples idea and life, similarly humanity also needs a new cognitive style.
