Thoughts on Kung Fu Yoga

See, your kung fu is yoga.

Yoga spread from India and became popular all over the world. Its culture and history are much earlier than Buddhism. And the beauty and magnificence it reveals are far beyond the cognition and imagination of everyone's mind. Because yoga is always an empirical science; It not only inherits ancient sciences, such as Ayurveda and Stars, but also integrates modern sciences, such as neurobiology and anatomical physiology. It not only contains ancient life skills, such as meditation and breathing; It also includes modern life technology, such as philosophical differentiation and so on. These ancient and modern technologies can only be realized through the practice of practitioners, and can be recalled and integrated bit by bit. This process of memory and integration, namely "connection and integration", is also the meaning of the ancient Sanskrit word "yoga".

Of course, the world's understanding of yoga is just like people's bad reviews after the release of Kung Fu Yoga. People who really don't know yoga just regard this movie as a farce of Big Brother. So in real life, almost everyone we meet has the impression that yoga means "you can put your feet on your head!" " In the early years, when I heard such a question, I would make some explanations. Gradually, I finally remembered the ability of "listening and experiencing" that yoga gave me. I listened with a smile, no longer excused myself, and even when it was convenient, I really put my feet on my head to make everyone happy. "It is also the grace of the God of Yoga to make you laugh, which gives me the opportunity to serve you."

People say that "Kung Fu Yoga" has nothing to do with yoga at all, and it takes only three minutes to present the yoga pose, but it is more of Jackie Chan's kung fu farce. As we all know, the whole kung fu fighting part is the "foundation" of these three minutes. The so-called "ten years of work under the stage and one minute on the stage". Looking deeper, these three-minute physical exercises are just to better lead us to practice the subtle and meditation samadhi. Ashmita said that in the glacier, "Let your breath go up along the spinal nerve, from the perineum to the third eye, and fill your lungs with air, but focus on the third eye ..." ... including the "combination method" mentioned at the beginning, are all manifestations of yoga practice. All physical exercises (postures) are also preparations for these more subtle exercises. Article 49 of the second chapter of Yoga Sutra says: "When the posture is stable, start breathing or controlling qi. " 。

This is the principle of yoga, and the Eight Branches of Yoga also gives a detailed practice guide. In Yoga Sutra 196, there are only three sentences about posture practice. In this way, Kung Fu Yoga really respects the original culture of yoga! The ingenious presentation of all these yoga exercises can be understood by diligent yogis on the yoga road. Of course, it is very important to obtain the stability and effortlessness of posture through hard and continuous practice. As the yoga classic clearly says, "The body is a sacred temple, and only when it is clean and stable will God live in it." Therefore, yoga practitioners will see the sanctity of the body without being paranoid about it, so as to better care for the body, show its original softness and strength, and operate in a balanced way in the activities of the world. In yoga practice, attention, breath and consciousness will shine in the body.

In 2006, my yoga philosophy teacher and I practiced meditation and meditation in Yokogawa, India, published in the first volume of Beauty.

So in the beginning, looking for a kingdom that has been lost for thousands of years is exactly what yoga refers to, that is, looking for the initial heart and looking for yourself that has been lost for thousands of years! The process of seeking self is also the process of human beings seeking divinity. So why is the treasure under the deep glacier? "The tip of the iceberg" is an excellent understanding. People have now begun to realize that the natural universe explained by science is only a small part, and people's self-awareness and exploration of consciousness and subconscious are just the tip of the iceberg. Including the current image of yoga in people's minds, it is also the "tip of the iceberg" of feminine body. In fact, what yoga has passed down to us is about the real kung fu of life exploration! Yoga tells us that the way to know and discover ourselves is simple, that is, "go deep into the heart", look deeper into the darkness and honestly bring in the light! You are braver to find something deeper and darker inside, where you can find the treasure! Bhagavan, a respected Indian, said that "the first step is the last step", which means it is as simple as seeing and touching the treasure.

The inner treasure contains the stars of the universe, not to mention Huang Jinbao's hiding. Therefore, the practice of yoga has been advancing with the times, encouraging people to satisfy the external richness only through inner richness. Only through complete dedication and dedication can we reach the "dzogchen" where life can be realized. At the same time, we also teach people to gain all their knowledge by meditating on the sun and the moon. Knowledge comes from learning, and truth comes from memory. We have all the treasures of truth in our hearts. Remember it and you have it! Where is the biggest treasure? A 2 12 carat diamond-Kung Fu Yoga is also of special significance in depicting this most precious diamond. If you wake up, if you study Shiva Sutra, you will unlock the secret of numbers, thus unlocking the code of life. Leave a suspense for you to walk into the study of yoga classics with me, get back the diamonds that belong to us, wake up our sleeping heart (the third eye) and see the truth treasure in our heart! Because, we must make 100% efforts in the external world, and the internal world will be completely compliant. The glory of divinity always protects us when we wake up!

So this movie looks like a farce in the end. Everyone dances Indian dance, and the camera gives a kaleidoscope of rotation. In fact, this is the mysterious and beautiful saying of yoga. It implies our ultimate "oneness". We spend a movie fighting and laughing, that is, the process of fighting and playing with all our faces for a lifetime, even generations, the process of reconciliation with all our faces, and the process of remembering who we really are! Even the presentation of the three-minute "yoga pose" is actually an instant reincarnation process of "competition, comparison, comparison and competition" with oneself. You know, everything outside is a manifestation of the inner world. Only by experiencing these processes vividly and truly, crossing those illusory situations, and facing the most real occurrence in the heart, such as finding the lost self without moving the core dharma, can we "inherit" the treasure of yoga and reach the land of truth of unity. So through the gorgeous but noisy external depiction of Kung Fu Yoga, after laughing and cursing, I saw the yoga clues and the call of life behind it! That is the talent of the yogi to open the third eye. Please note that the third eye opening is not the portrait you see; But have compassion and joy, see yourself clearly and have insight into yourself! You can see others and the whole world through yourself. Because others are ourselves, the whole world is the presentation of "one". Yoga means "connection and unity".

Reflections on Kung Fu Yoga (Ⅱ)

I haven't been to the cinema for a long time. Today, on a whim, I walked into the cinema with several colleagues and watched this year's New Year movie Kung Fu Yoga. I didn't choose it on purpose, but the timing was just right. We finished shopping from the supermarket and walked to the gate of the cinema at 3 pm sharp. Don't want to wait, we took the goods we bought and went straight into the cinema.

The film premiered on the first day of the first month, when I was in my hometown in the countryside for the New Year, and there was no cinema in the countryside. My entertainment program that day was holding Bao Xiao, standing beside the ancestral hall at the head of the village, and watching the activities of collectively worshipping heaven and earth and setting off firecrackers on the first day of the village.

Watching movies should be an activity for two people. Young men and women sit hand in hand to share joy and enhance their feelings. But since Bao Xiao appeared, we seldom have time to be alone, let alone go to the movies. During the Spring Festival this year, I kept talking about inviting my wife to the movies. Unfortunately, I can't make it, and I feel deeply guilty.

Watching this movie today is not an emotional drama, but you can sit in the cinema and watch the young couple talking and laughing in front of you, and you still have feelings. When I am happy, I always hope that my wife can be around and feel "Kung Fu Yoga". Considering her hard work in raising children at home, it seems a little inappropriate for me to watch movies as a pastime. I told my wife on the phone, and she was very considerate, saying that you went to see this kind of movie, as long as you were happy.

Anyway, let's talk about the feeling of watching movies.

Highlight 1: beauty, handsome guy, small fresh meat+Jackie Chan, both men, women and children.

This is a drama with a high value, and the full of handsome guys and beautiful women make my eyes shine. It's true that three beautiful women play together. Look at them, beautiful and elegant. I'm not a fashion freak, from city clothes to swimsuits to Indian princess clothes. I didn't count how many sets of clothes a woman changed, but simply thought that dress was beautiful. In fact, clothes are external, and everything people wear is beautiful. In the era of fighting for value, how can we get handsome guys and beautiful women?

Small fresh meat sells young people's dishes. There are also guest appearances of Ceng Zhiwei and Zhang Guoli, two old opera bones, which are Chinese New Year benefits for mom and dad. Therefore, this film is suitable for all ages and is suitable for the whole family to watch movies together.

Highlight 2: the beauty of exotic customs. Ice and snow in Iceland, profligacy of local tyrants in Dubai, secular customs and temples in India.

Still the superficial value of fighting. Glaciers are white, such as the crystal clear world of ice and snow, which is the most beautiful scenery in winter. It's cold outside the window and the room is steaming. Looking at the ice and snow on the screen, I naturally feel refreshed. At this time, it is undoubtedly the most appropriate thing to watch the beauty and magnificence of winter. The scene of Jackie Chan and the Indian princess swimming in ice water is the most romantic part of the film.

Local tyrants in Dubai use camel races, followed by sky-high auctions and full-screen luxury cars. This part is for men who like luxury cars. Only the word luxury can describe it. Is it true that all police cars in Dubai are Bugatti Veyron? I seriously doubt it.

Finally, the camera switches to India. You can see the traditional performances in the Indian market, such as cobra, Tian Tong rope, hovering in the air, etc., and an exotic feeling comes to you. You don't have to leave home to see all this. Seeing these folk performances, do you want to go out for a walk? The Indian temples in the film are more like india tourism's propaganda. Just watching movies may not fully feel the shock of Indian temples.

Highlight 3: China Kung Fu+Yoga Show.

With the film title Kung Fu and Yoga, the content of yoga in the film is not much, mainly the yoga formula that the woman has been chanting and the yoga show of three beautiful women when the glacier escaped. It can be seen that yoga as a practical skill is worth popularizing. The combination of Indian Yoga and China Kung Fu is the highlight of this film, which is also of political significance.

Jackie Chan played an important role in China Kung Fu. Still continue Jackie Chan's consistent martial arts style, good-looking and fun.

Battle 1: Ice cave exploration fierce battle. Jackie Chan's archaeologist Jack invited Aarif Lee's grave robber Jones to take part in the expedition. After discovering the treasure in the ice cave, Randall, who represents hostile forces, attacked and fought fiercely. Jones took advantage of the disorder to steal the most valuable diamond, which led to the fight 2.

Fight 2: Dubai diamond auction fight scene. Jones went to Dubai to auction diamonds. In order to recover the diamonds, Jack and others won the diamonds at a price of 65.438+0.6 billion by bidding with local tyrants (Zhang Guoli) at a high price. Then there is the hostile force Randall. If the auction fails, someone will be sent to rob it. After a flying stunt, a luxury auto show will be held. The diamond was accidentally taken away by Indian princess Ashmita riding a motorcycle, which triggered a fight.

Battle 3: the treasure of the Indian temple competes for the ultimate battle. Jack came to India to look for Ashmita and help her find the lost treasure. Randall kidnapped Jones and others and threatened Jack to treasure for him. The struggle in the process of treasure hunting, Randall and others tried to destroy it, and Jack intended to protect it. Finally, the fighting suddenly ended, and the painting style turned sharply. Piles of people poured into the temple, and the opposing parties took off Indian Dance and China Square Dance. The film ended in a cheerful dance.

Reflections on Kung Fu Yoga (3)

An old hero is still ambitious.

-Impression of Jackie Chan's New Year movie Kung Fu Yoga

Congratulations to Jiuli.

Leap, not ten steps; This is a great contribution to the success of Ma Xu.

Over the years, the New Year's Eve is the most profitable and tense movie schedule. This year's competition is more intense. Westbound, braving the wind and waves, making trouble in Tianzhu, the past in Northeast China, Zhang Fei, etc. , are famous, eccentric and fascinating.

Flowers are similar every year, and people are different every year; There has always been such a view about the new year's eve file. As a time feature of the Lunar New Year, Lunar New Year's Eve has obvious characteristics of family happiness. So I think this year's Kung Fu Yoga starring Jackie Chan is just the right time. It's really beautiful and fun. As people in the 1970s and 1980s, most of them grew up watching Mr Jackie Chan's movies. At this age, Mr. Jackie Chan is still full of courage and dedication, and his professionalism is really admirable.

Relaxed and happy, isn't the Spring Festival just for this festive and auspicious occasion? The plot need not be too profound, even if the car, beauty, handsome boy and gold are made vulgar; Chasing, martial arts and entertainment are "noisy"; Isn't the Spring Festival an atmosphere? We often say that the Chinese New Year is tasteless, the food is not fragrant and the year is not pure. Is it not away from or not integrated into this atmosphere? It's good to let go of reserve, have fun, warm up, relax and sweat.

Back in the movie, Kung Fu Yoga took many scenes in India, and of course, Disha Patani, India's first beauty, was sweet and charming. I didn't realize what it was like to be ashamed of flowers and close my eyes before. I watched this movie today. I see, she is! Disha Patani, beauty really lives up to its reputation!

Speaking of India, it was a great country about the year before last, and several particularly interesting things happened. One is the Banknote Cancellation Order, which uses the most severe measures to crack down on black money and punish corruption, and declares that bank customers are not allowed to deposit more than 5,000 rupees (US$ 74) before being questioned by bank officials. 20 16, 165438 10. Since midnight on October 8, the banknotes with a face value of 500 rupees and 1000 rupees have stopped circulating, which are equivalent to about 7.5 dollars and 15 dollars respectively. Holders of old banknotes must deposit the banknotes into bank accounts before the end of 20 16, and deposits exceeding 250,000 rupees will be examined by income tax officials. In addition, the Indian government1October 29th submitted a draft amendment to the tax law, 165438, which plans to levy about 50% tax on holders who voluntarily declare "black money". At the beginning of 20 17, India drastically reduced the personal income tax, and reduced the personal income tax rate of people whose annual income was between 250,000 rupees (about RMB 25,530) and 500,000 rupees (about RMB 5 1060) from 10% to 5%, benefiting more than 20 million people! Of course, large-scale expenditure, such as waste money, has caused ridicule in our country, but from the actual effect, it is very ideal and has not caused any huge social unrest. On the other hand, in China, we are hesitant about property tax and reducing personal income tax. As we all know, the per capita tax burden in China is too high. The per capita income is less than one-sixth of that of the United States, but the personal tax burden is roughly the same, and the per capita tax burden exceeds 1 10,000 yuan. Personal income tax and other payroll taxes have a low threshold and a high amount, and they are increasingly inclined to the poor tax, which is obviously extremely unfair. However, the property tax has not been introduced. At first glance, we seem to be afraid of the bursting of the real estate bubble and the crisis. Think carefully, can we just wait for the tumor to grow up or pray for the tumor to grow up slowly and then close our eyes and die? India, an electoral country, and a head of state like Modi, dare to take the world by storm and resolutely solve the problem by thunderbolt, which really has to be admired.

The spirit of personal income tax reform legislation is "high-income earners pay more taxes, middle-income earners pay less taxes, and low-income earners don't pay taxes". Property tax is to let the rich who own hundreds of commercial houses pay taxes; Why do we always worry that rich people who own hundreds of houses can't pay back their money and taxes? But turn a blind eye and turn a deaf ear to the wail of the heavy tax burden of low-income groups in our society?

Think about it, this is an exploitation of the subconscious. Throughout the world's historical powers, everyone is a gentleman at home and a rogue at home. Didn't Jackie Chan just want to show the power of Wang Xuance in the Tang Dynasty in the movie? Isn't it the martial arts that Wen Zhi achieved in the movie "When Prosperous and Far Away" to reduce the tax burden of domestic people and let them live and work in peace and contentment?

Let's just say that mainland China can't produce martial arts stars like Jackie Chan. Why? Personally, I think that if Jackie Chan and Jet Li have been working in the mainland in their personal capacity, they are probably still worrying about three meals a day, because their main income has probably been taxed. How can they realize the art in their hearts?

It is said that the most important thing in reform is to liberate people, emancipate people's minds, liberate people's material shackles, let people fly with their dreams, travel bravely, and work hard for their ideals. However, how can they talk about reform and liberation if they are bound by the shackles of tax burden?

Rational and constructive attitude makes people have more sense of gain, fully release potential consumption, narrow the income gap, make people go into battle lightly every day, develop themselves and benefit the society like watching kung fu yoga; Perhaps this is one of the important goals that the reform hopes to achieve? !
