Golden Mother Eight Longevity Health Practices 

Annotation of Golden Mother Eight Longevity Health Practices 

Teachings by Living Buddha Lian Sheng, Sheng-Yen Lu

History

Upon receiving numerous requests by several Vajra Masters at the Ling Shen Ching Tze Temple in Redmond, Grandmaster Sheng-yen Lu agreed to transmit the teachings of the Golden Mother’s 7 Dharma Longevity Health Practice and empowerment on September 16, 2006.

The Golden Mother’s 7 Dharma Longevity Health Practice was directly transmitted from the Golden Mother herself and is considered as an esoteric practice.  Due to its secrecy, Grandmaster did not publicize the practice previously until September 16, 2006.  He decided to transmit the teaching because he felt bad to use the practice in secret for his own personal benefit.  He believed that the compassionate Golden Mother would agree with his decision to disseminate the teaching to his disciples.

Grandmaster explained that among all of the deities the Golden Mother is considered the strictest and most righteous.  He himself has not encountered any deity whose power exceeds that of the Golden Mother’s.  Therefore, one should never underestimate the divine power of the Golden Mother.  The karmic retribution dispensed by Golden Mother is fast-acting.  For instance when she was in good spirits in the past, there were no plagues in the world.  However, when she was displeased, the world was afflicted by plagues.  Consequently, the Golden Mother may be regarded as the deity who regulates all worldly diseases and plagues.

An example that Grandmaster gave was a few years ago when many parts of the world were suddenly plagued by a contagious disease known as SARS.  When he beseeched the Golden Mother to stop the plague, he was given a tiny magical pouch.  When he returned to samasra with it, SARS as well as Mad Cow diseases instantly ceased ever since.  From this incident, we learned that Golden Mother possesses the great power to dissipate and/or ward off natural disasters.

 

What is the Golden Mother’s 7 Dharma Longevity Health Practice?

 The practice consists of 7 basic types of physical exercises and each type is designed specifically to strengthen a particular body organ or system.  The dharma exercises consist of the following 7 types:  the removal of lesions, improvement of the eyesight, dental health, hearing, circulation, chi balancing, and kidney health.  Each dharma exercise is simple to do at home.  It requires only a few minutes to accomplish.

In addition, Grand Master was also taught an 8^th exercise, which involves bodily fluid balance.  However,

He was instructed by the Golden Mother not to openly disclose the last method to anyone.  Hence, he only disclosed 7 of the original 8 exercises pertaining to the Golden Mother’s Dharma Longevity Health Practice.  In his dharma talk, however, Grand Master promised to disclose hints of what the 8^th practice involved.

Disclaimers

By practicing these dharma exercises one can possibly prevent oneself from contracting common illnesses in the future.  However, if one currently suffers from certain illnesses then the exercises will not reverse the sickness.  In such a case, the exercises would prevent the sickness from worsening.  Regardless, however, disciples are advised to seek help from health care professionals as needed. These dharma exercises should be regarded as a supplementary form to one’s health care.

Empowerment

In order to practice the Golden Mother’s 8 Dharma Longevity Health Practice, one must obtain the empowerment from Grand Master.  Otherwise, the performance of the exercises would be considered as an act of stealing the dharma.  One would not receive the linage blessings from the Root Guru and from Golden Mother.
