THE OUTSTANDING HISTORY OF ZHI NENG QIGONG
In the late 1970s, Dr. Pang Ming developed a new form of Qigong, just as the Chinese government was recognizing the potential of this ancient practice to reduce healthcare costs, and was encouraging its practice as well as the research in this field. Dr. Pang’s story is one of extraordinary talents, a lifelong quest for wisdom, and a mission to bridging ancient knowledge with modern science.
Dr. Pang Ming’s journey began with a remarkable childhood. He possessed unique abilities and was learning at an astonishing pace. As a young boy, he was initiated into the world of Chinese martial arts and energy practices. His mentors included Taoist, Buddhist, and Confucian Masters, exposing him to various spiritual and philosophical teachings. Later, he became a renowned doctor in Beijing and wrote medical books.
After decades of practicing various forms of Qigong and immersing himself in extensive research, Dr. Pang Ming synthesised his vast knowledge. From the realms of medicine and philosophy, he was able to choose what was most important and effective. The result was a groundbreaking Qigong system that was accessible to all and yielded remarkable results, not only in health but also in the development of special abilities. Dr. Pang Ming called it Zhi Neng Qigong or Wisdom Qigong. It was built on a comprehensive theory of entirety,merging ancient wisdom with contemporary scientific understanding. One of the key innovations of this system was the utilisation, for the first time, of the Information in the Energy Field (Qi field), a potent technique for achieving positive outcomes.
During the 1980s, many centers were opened and Zhi Neng Qigong was taught by many instructors. The effectiveness of this Qigong system was rigorously confirmed through scientific studies and experiences on a large scale.
By the 1990s, approximately ten million Chinese were practicing Zhi Neng Qigong. The main center, located in Huaxia, attracted around 7,000 people simultaneously as they were staying for 21-day, mainly for healing purposes. This remarkable center achieved an astonishing 97% success rate, ranging from complete healing to significant improvement. It soon became renowned in the West as “the world’s largest drug-free hospital.”
In May 1992, China’s National Sports Ministry officially declared Zhi Neng Qigong as the most effective form of Qigong. However, in the year 2000, the government policy in China changed, after an insurrection, large gatherings of more than 50 people were forbidden and Dr Pang Ming had to close the center. He withdrew to write books.
Nowadays, Dr. Pang Ming continues to explore the science of Qigong, and conducts extended experiences on all fields to prove how energy can be mastered to create an abundant and harmonious life
While the Huaxia center may have closed its doors, the teachings of Zhi Neng Qigong is spreading. Instructors who trained and worked in Huaxia have continued to teach this transformative knowledge throughout China and even to the West, they are training teachers from many countries, so the legacy of Zhi Neng Qigong remains accessible to all who seek wellness and wisdom.
