THE BUDDHA'S GUARDIANS' EXERCISE

(Jin Gang Gong)
According to legend, Jin Gang Gong was created by a general of the Qing
Dynasty ( 1644-1911 A.D.). This general was proficient in both Qigong and medical
skills. He later shaved his head and became a monk. This school of exercise was
established by successors through selection. It consists of three steps. As with other
exercises, it stresses the regulation of the heart, the body and the breath. The
exercise should be done with relaxed body and soft breath, and without distracting
thoughts.
