(This is a shortend version of the
explanation of the principles underlying the ' Beauty Yoga
', one of the previously secret powerful meditation practices of
Hanmi Buddhism that has just been published
on CD.)
In the process of aging, a person goes through
39 changes in the appearance of their skin. The skin goes through
the five stages of life: baby, child, young adult, middle age, and
old age. Then there are seven stages of change within each of the
five stages of life, plus there are changes in each of the four
seasons of life.
How do the wrinkles, spots and blemishes in the skin come about?
To make a blemish disappear naturally, first understand the origin,
then you can find a solution.
Research in eastern cultures shows that skin changes its texture
with age because of our desires and emotions, which results in disharmonies
in our physical bodies. Our emotions constantly change from happiness
to sorrow, to anger, to depression. These emotions cause imbalance
in our internal systems which circulate the chi and blood, causing
imbalance in the harmony of our existence. As our chi and blood
change under this imbalance, the digestive systems change, so that
the internal organs no longer work together as a team.
For example, when a person gets angry, the flow of energy in the
pancreas and liver is blocked. As some people get angry, their face
becomes red, or pale, because the flow of blood and energy is temporarily
blocked. Moments later, when you are no longer angry, the flow of
blood continues, but the event has already done some damage. When
you are too happy or too sad, your blood circulation will change
its speed, and your heart will beat faster. As the blood is rushing,
the chi energies rise and the blood rushes to your face which becomes
red. After even a short emotional upset, you are not the same, because
there has been a fundamental change in your inner systems.
Or, when you are thinking too much and overexerting
your brain, you are worrying, you also have emotion bubbling up.
Then your blood circulation slows down, and things pile up in the
liver waiting to be processed. The Chinese masters call this accumulation
of blood and chi in the liver "liver bruise." …
Because you are experiencing emotions, or trying to suppress emotion,
or if you are worried about things, your eyebrows push together
and form lines. The liver bruise causes your internal system to
heat up, because things cannot flow through easily, and are rubbing
together from the stoppage. This overheating in your body will cause
a blockage around the middle of your body (in the vicinity of your
diaphragm) resulting in the upper and lower body not communicating
with one another…..
If you want to attain youthful beauty forever, first learn to adjust
your inner emotions. …..
People have used many ways to try to retain their youth. Businesses
have developed many kinds of pills, medications, creams to apply
to our skins. Many of these products may make the skin look nice,
but they do not make you whole inside, so they are a waste of money.
Our wrinkles and blemishes are also caused by the environment, as
the four seasons change. Sunshine, rain, winds all cause our skin
cells to change. You need to have your skin be very soft. You want
your circulation to flow well, with your muscles relaxed and your
pores to breathe better. Your chi and blood need to circulate and
you need to have your inner system work in harmony.
The beauty dharma I will teach you is really the elixir dharma,
using the dews to wash and cleanse your face and body. It will take
only 10 minutes a day to have a fundamental change in your skin
and change your appearance.
Your face is the representation of how healthy are your inner organs
….
A person's emotions all show on your face……..
Every time, you have emotion, it will leave a trace on your face.
Your facial wrinkles and blemishes are all accumulations of traces
of emotions. There is an old Chinese saying, "A face that has
lived through many times of wind, rain, and sun." When you
look at a person's face you understand what this person has gone
through in his life. This is the origination of Chinese art of reading
faces.
Buddha's smooth skin comes from an emotional balance that lets the
best of him to come out. He is not biased to the right or wrong,
he stays on the middle path. He still experiences emotion, but he
never become overjoyed or over saddened. ……
We have to understand this before we begin the dharma, because when
you really understand the reasoning, you will begin to take action
to change yourself.
In the Buddhist tradition, the 'Beauty Dharma' is called the "Wisdom
Dew Dharma." Through practicing it, all the blemishes on your
face will gradually disappear and you will regain your youth. In
Beijing, my disciples nicknamed it the 'Beauty Dharma' or 'Beauty
yoga'
