SELECTION OF QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
JULY 2024 PART 1
The people were happy
Question 1
I have to also reciprocate with Guru Dakshina, Thanks again for your magnanimity and healing presence. Please give us an opportunity to serve you, esteemed master, sir.
— Guru Pranam, India
Answer
I am blessed with distant "chi" (or energy, similar to "prana") transmission. It was inspired by the greatest chi kung master, Sifu Xan Yin, of China.
There were a few interesting stories of distant "chi" transmission. Once I transmitted "chi" in Alor Star (a city in Malaysia). There was a hawker pouring white noodles over a "wok" (or frying pan). When I asked whether it was a hawker pouring white noodles over a "wok", the man who received my "chi", answered "yes".
Once I was sending "chi" from Toronto to a city I can't remember where. The clock stopped but we were unaware of it. When we worked back the time, the person received "chi" exactly on time.
Some time ago we did an experiment. We had sophisticated instruments in the United States which measured time precisely. Each time I sent "chi" by meditation, the sophisticated instruments measured a fraction of a second before another person physically standing a few feet away.
You don't have to thank me for the distant "chi" transmission. My family and I are in good health, full of vitality and enjoy longevity, except my children and grandchildren who are still young, as we consider good health, full of vitality and enjoy longevity as our greatest wealth.
Question 2
I practiced One-Finger Shooting Zen and Small Universe this evening.
— Sifu John O Laoidh, Shaolin Wahnam Eireann
Answer
"One-Finger Shooting Zen" and the "Small Universe" are wonderful. "One-Finger Shooting Zen" is how I get my internal force, which is useful for daily living.
I learned from my first sifu, Uncle Righteousness, for many years but I didn't have internal force. Uncle Righteousness had internal force but he didn't realize it. The "Small Universe" is good for our phenomenal world.
We live in the phenomenal realm. It will make you very lucky as it involves the whole body.
"Hou yun qi" in Mandarin Chinese, or "how yuen hei" in Cantonese Chinese, means "good circulation of energy". In simple English, it means lucky.
So, in English if you practice chi kung, you are lucky, besides giving us good health, vitality and longevity. Practicing chi kung is one of the best things everybody can do. If you practice the "Small Universe", you are very lucky.

Question 4
I have made the website and all that is left is to find the venue and advertise.
Answer
You should start finding a venue and advertise. Please see the first picture of https://shaolin.org/answers/ans24a/mar24-3r.html .
There is much you have to do. Advertising takes time.

Andrew Roberts moved recently to Puerto Rico.

Question 7
From your perspective what exercises will benefit him best?
Answer
"Bear Walk" and "Five-Animal Play" were good for Andrew Roberts. Jumping over a low wall was very good for him.
It appears cruel when asking someone who suffered from an auto-immune disease, but it was very good for him. He did that very well.
