Synopsis

In this booklet, an Enlightened Chan (Zen in Japanese) master, Master Huai-jin Nan (1918-2012) shows us how to acquire a disease-free physical and mental state by applying the principles of tai chi into Chan walking while chanting into a calm mental state of Chan Ding, which is similar to Samadhi in Hindu yoga.Master Nan shows us how to enter the state of Chan ding by combining two coordinated repetitive movements, Chan walking (1st movement) and chanting (2nd movement) the name of Buddha mentally or orally. If you do not want to chant the Buddhist way you can chant quietly the non-religious six healing sounds, as shown in the booklet.Walking is a good repetitive exercise to generate new neurological reflexes, especially when one is in the hypnagogic state in Chan (Zen in Japanese) meditation, called Ding 定 in Chinese. Hypnagogia is the transitional period of "threshold consciousness" between wakefulness and sleep. In this empty mental state, you can rewrite your programs (reflexes). This is the most important aspect of integrative body-mind training like yoga, tai chi and qigong.According to Master Nan, in order to practice meditation with good results, you have to reach and state in the mental condition, called Ding 定in 4 principal daily activities, i.e. the 四威儀 Sì wēi yí, the four dignified modes of daily activities i.e. walking, standing, sitting and meditating in a lying down posture. Thomas Cleary has written the following about Nan's works and methodology:“There is no question that Master Nan's work is a cut above anything else available from modern authors, either academic or sectarian, and I would like to see his work gain its rightful place in the English speaking world. ....” Source: Master Nan book review "The Cultivation of Practice" translated by J.C. Cleary (Thomas Cleary is an author and translator of Buddhist, Daoist, Confucian, and Muslim classics, and of The Art of War, a treatise on management, military strategy, and statecraft. He lives in Oakland, California, a city on the West Coast of the United States.)The author of this booklet, Dr. George Ho (1946- ) has supplemented Master Nan’s inspirational but vague instructions with related medical information and explanations. For instance, According to Dr. George Ho’s citation of medical evidence, Chan walking is better than many complicated tai chi or qi gong movements because according to Bloomberg (2008) the communication between neurons is bilateral. This is why repetitive rhythmic movements like walking and chanting facilitate synaptic connections by increasing ties and neurotransmitters of the synaptic connections. Bloomberg uses this finding to prove the regeneration ability of the brain to design the rhythmic movement's program to treat childhood ADHD with significant results. This booklet is full of useful information to help you become disease-free all the way into your ripe old age. The author of this booklet, Dr. George Ho is an example of how Master Nan’s wisdom has helped him. Just like Master Nan, Dr. Ho, who is over 70 does not need glasses for reading, writing and driving. He can still play single tennis like a young man. His voice is young and he can sing well. To see how healthy is the 72 years old Dr. Ho please visit his YouTube channel by searching for “Dr. George Ho” on YouTube, which has over 4000 subscribers and 700,000 views. There are 129 videos in English and the rest in Chinese. Most of the videos are health-related. All of Dr. Ho's Kindle books have the support and enrichment of at least one of his YouTube videos.The YouTube video that introduces this booklet is called, "Chan walking with breathing practice for health and longevity by Huai-jin Nan, supplement" and the link is "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwJW0rjUkFY".Many aging baby boomers like to do exercises that are less challenging physically, Tai Chi, yoga, golfing and meditation. Chan walking is the easiest to be blended into one’s daily life.
