Breaking Through the Barriers of Darkness
A former Qi-gong master unveils the mystery and spiritual essence of Qi-gong and its contemporary movement in China which began in the early 1980's. The book uncovers the secret of Qi-gong, a contemporary paranormal discipline and its movement in China that involves martial arts, mystical meditation and healing, from the view of a Chinese Christian who once practiced Qi-gong. The text consists of first-hand experiences of the author, background and theory of Qi-gong, and an analysis of its cultural, social and spiritual roots. The author reveals the hidden connections to Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism, and shows that Qi-gong shares the same spiritual ground that leads its practitioners to psychological agony and spiritual death. This book has had seven reprintings from 1998 to 2005 in a Chinese version and it has been one of the bestsellers among Chinese Christian books.

Chinese Gong Fu
Gong fu, the indigenous martial art of China, was exported into American popular culture through numerous "kung fu" movies in the 20th century. Perhaps the most renowned of the martial arts in the U.S., gong fu remains often misunderstood, perhaps because of its esoteric practices that include aspects of Daoism, Confucianism, Buddhism and other syncretic elements. Using the science of embodiment--the study of the interaction between body, mind, cognition, behavior and environment--this book explores the relationships among practitioner, praxis, spirituality, philosophy and the body in gong fu. Drawing on familiar routines, films, artifacts and art, the author connects the reader to ancient Chinese culture, philosophy, myth, shamanism and ritual.
