IT IS MORALLY WRONG AND BAD TO BE SICK
It is morally right and good to he healthy and happy
Question
How is this so? How do you define personal morality? And how does one distinguish between what we are born with, as a result of our own karma or genetic data passed down to us by our parents, as in weak genes.
If someone is born unhealthy what can be done, with sickness or illness or deformity? Is getting a cold or flu sickness? Or does sickness mean something else? Why is it someone gets sick?
Answer
To be sick is morally wrong and morally bad because we are born in the image of God, or whatever term we call the Supreme. We owe a duty to God to be healthy.
We also owe a duty to ourselves to be healthy. When one is sick, he functions below par. It is morally wrong and morally bad not to produce what he can normally produce.
To be healthy is natural. As many people are sick today, they may be surprised at this statement. It means that when all his cells, all his tissues, all his organs and all his systems are functioning the ways they are meant to function, that person will be healthy. It is when one or usually more aspects of a person are not functioning naturally that he becomes sick.
Personal morality may be defined as being morally right and good as applied to a person or persons.
Irrespective of what kind of genes we received from our parents, we must always be very grateful to our parents. The Buddha has taught that if a person carries his invalid father or invalid mother everyday for 50 years, not for one life but for 500 lives, he still has not repaid the debt he owes to his parents.
If a person is born with weak genes, he can overcome the weakness by practicing genuine, high-level chi kung. From the chi kung perspective, all weakness is caused by energy blockage. When the blockage is cleared, and the energy flow is harmonious, the weakness will be overcome, irrespective of when, even in past lives, the weakness was caused.
It is the same with sickness or deformity. When the blockage that caused the sickness or deformity is cleared, and energy flows smoothly, the sickness or deformity will be rectified. We have a lot of examples in our school.
Some people were born with phobia. They were afraid of birds, for example, for no apparent reason. The reason, which the patients themselves and many other people might not know, was that some time in the past, in this life or one of his numerous past lives, some traumatic occurrances caused some energy blockage. When the blockage is cleared by high-level chi kung, the phobia just disappears.
Getting a cold or flu is a sickness. Some parts in the person’s body or mind were not working the way they are meant to work, which resulted in a blockage. If these parts are working the way they are meant to work, which means naturally, he will not get a cold or flu. When the blockage is cleared, the sickness will be overcome.
From the chi kung perspective which is also the traditional Chinese medical perspective, i.e. the perspective that has maintained the health and sanity of the largest population of the world for the longest period of time, all sickness is caused by energy blockage. Someone gets sick because he has energy blockage. This is not said by me. It is said by all the great masters in chi kung and traditional Chinese medicine.
When the blockage is cleared, the person will recover his good health, which is his natural birth-right. Practicing genuine chi kung is an excellent way to remain healthy as well as to have vitality and longevity.
