Book Reviews for The Path of Life 

"The theories in The Path of Life have countless ties with modern science.  From the point of view of philosophy, The Path of Life proposes the true nature of the universe (the four eternities—time, space, material, and spirit), and then proposes the unification of the materialism and idealism.  This unified theory completely explains the fundamental problems of philosophy.  With this unified theory we observe this world and we probably come to a sudden realization and therefore reach a higher level of understanding.  In this world all of the causes and effects, origins and developments are simple and yet complicated.  Even though the proposed “four eternities” is a hypothesis, we have to admit that it is a reasonable hypothesis; it greatly broadens our horizon, and it enriches and develops humanity philosophy.

Master Ou’s teaching relates to many fundamental definitions of natural science so that his teaching not only can propose special ideas for natural science but also can develop the research areas of natural science to certain levels and display the forecast of natural science……Relating to the development of mathematics The Path of Life—the history of the universe is very interesting which develops from an infinite continuity (the past universe) to infinite discontinuity (the eternal future world) and then to the highly unification of material and sprite (the divine power).  They are respectively similar to mathematics’ infinitely repeated fractions, infinitely unrepeated irrational numbers, and complex numbers formed with the real and imaginary parts.  Calculus, a subject analyzing the instantaneous changes and the accumulative changes, and Master Ou’s philosophy about the expositions of human being’s good and evil and the accumulations of the good and evil (the total judgement) have some similarities.  Does mathematics have hidden messages of mankind’s history and future? ...... It is predictable that Master Ou’s “divine power” will be able to explain mystical phenomenon such as telekinesis, applying the mind to get things, treating diseases with Qigong…….Master Ou’s definition about “imagination speed” describes the super light speed of “spiritual” material movements.  The development of modern natural science will become a subject of “divine power”. 

Accordingly The Path of Life grants us such a type of cosmology:  One side becomes multiple sides, parts become whole, finiteness becomes infiniteness, and instantaneousness become eternity; and the infinite eternity requires us to learn, to experience, to exchange, and to conclude persistently. "

"I have been sick for a long time.  One night between 2:30am and 3:30am I suddenly felt extremely painful in my stomach and my gall bladder.  According to my past experience, I had to go to the emergency room when I had serious stomachache or gall bladder ache.  What should I do?  After I thought carefully, I made up my mind to practice Pan Gu Shengong and read The Path of Life with my aches.  I also covered the painful area with the book and at the same time put Master Ou’s name card on the top of the area.  Consequently the name card kept sticking with the pain area, and I eased from the pain gradually and could go into sleep before long.  The name card didn’t fall off until the next day morning when I woke up.  I felt very energetic and I could go to work."

"In order to investigate the truth, I have the honor to read The Path of Life.  After reading it I understand the principle of conducting oneself —“Take kindness and benevolence as basis.  Take frankness and friendliness to heart.”  My understanding reaches a new horizon, and I particularly have some new ideas towards philosophy problems regarding material and sprite, materialism and idealism.  I work on natural science in which many things seem opposite and yet actually mutual-communicated.  For instance, after learning Calculus I know that curves and straight lines are mutually communicated: infinite number of curves can make up one straight line, and infinite number of straight lines can make up one curve.  Generally speaking, curves are straight lines and straight lines are curves.  Within the research area of social science, materialism and idealism, material and sprite are always considered opposite philosophies from the traditional point of view.  However, from the experience of using Pan Gu Shengong to treat diseases, I realize that it is primary to apply the mind and use the divine power to treat diseases.  The mind is the divine power, the material, and even the soul.  Therefore, I realize that opposite philosophies such as spirit and material, materialism and idealism, which should be in common with opposite elements in natural science, are mutually communicated.  Consequently, fortune and misfortune, unhappiness and happiness, good and evil, etc. are mutually communicated as well.

Through studying The Path of Life, my understanding improves and my mind becomes broader.  I become more kind and mature, happier, and healthier. "

" I had nerve atrophy in the upper rim of my right eye and I often had headache.  My vision reduced, and I had headache like lightening when being stressful, reading for a long time or watching TV.  I went to see an ophthalmologist for ten years and didn’t gain much improvement.  With my ophthalmologist’s prescription I wore a pair of glasses, but my situation didn’t improve much as well.

After learning Pan Gu Shengong, I really wanted to improve my theoretical understandings towards Pan Gu Shengong, so I bought The Path of Life.  One day when I was reading the third volume and thinking problems attentively, suddenly I sensed that there was a kind of air stream flowing into my body which made me feel very relaxed.  At that time I doubted whether I was oversensitive.  Therefore I closed the book for a while and then opened it again.  However, the same sensation came to me again.  I repeated what I did several times and I got the same result.  From then on, I could continue reading for one to two hours without feeling any headache, and my eyes healed as the ache from the dry eyes disappeared.

"Reading The Path of Life I acquire lots of knowledge as it encourages people to be kind and it teaches people the principle of conducting oneself, “Take kindness and benevolence as basis.  Take frankness and friendliness to heart.”  According to “agonizing trails of the agonizing heart and soul”, I need to continuously reform my own shortcomings and mistakes so as to refine myself.  That is not only the torture to the flesh but also the torture to the soul which will help me improve my understanding persistently. 

The Path of Life makes me realize that one cannot primarily be receiving but more importantly make more contributions; to fulfill the eternal future world, everyone should contribute more and demand less.  

I learn a lot from The Path of Life of which content is extremely abundant, and I am attracted by the description of the wonderful eternal future world.  Nevertheless, I am confused with some information:  Is it Pan Gu who creates, arranges and manages everything?  Will the wonderful eternal future world come true?  Can contemporaries along with their flesh enter the eternal future world?  Among these three questions, I think the first question is the key of The Path of Life.

Even though the mankind knew very little about the mystery of the nature, several generations of scientists had researches and explorations on the origin of the mankind and they came to the conclusion—anthropoid apes developed to human beings.  All of these scientists were the essence of the mankind, and they should be the pride of the mankind as they devoted their whole lives to the researches and had the conclusion.  Even though I haven’t seen anthropoid apes, I shouldn’t easily object to their conclusion.  On the other hand I also believe that Master Ou’s miraculous experience is real.  From the objective point of view, according to Master Ou’s age, experience, and knowledge, it is impossible for him to write a book like an encyclopedia with extraordinary rich information.  Therefore, I cannot deny that Pan Gu creates and manages the mankind.  At the same time I have deeply experienced the mystical power granted by Pan Gu; and for several times during the practice it helps me heal my own diseases and my family members’ diseases.  Again, I cannot deny Pan Gu’s existence accordingly.

Whether human beings developed from anthropoid apes or Pan Gu created human beings?  It directly affects the penetrating learning about The Path of Life because if I have denied the latter, the information in the book would not be true.  I cannot easily deny the former; however, from the bottom of my heart I prefer to admit the latter since it gives me hopes and more importantly gives me energies, the infinite universal energies!  During the contradictory thinking, I hypothesize that the latter exists, yet hypothesis has to be proved with the evidence.  I sincerely wish that the truth will be revealed soon while its mysterious veil is removed. 

(Note:   Master Ou started to write The Path of Life when he was only thirty six years old, and he finished the book when he was forty years old.)  "

"After reading the book, The Path of Life, I come to realize the value of life, the dialectical philosophy of life, and the treasure of life.  I also understand how to make my great efforts and contributions for the wonderful eternal future world! 

'Take kindness and benevolence as basis.  Take frankness and friendliness to heart.'—let us remember this principle of conducting ourselves forever and persistently have the principle as the self-discipline to restrain ourselves.  Consequently, we will experience that our lives in this world are full of happiness, fullness, and meaningfulness. "

 "I often read The Path of Life and put it on the part of my body where I felt discomfort with; consequently, my diseases reduced or even healed.  I thought there were three reasons.  

First, The Path of Life is a new theory of the universe, and it includes all kinds of knowledge (cosmogony, physics, philosophy, health science, etc.) which greatly help us study the world, especially understanding religious doctrines and the nature of things. 

It is very difficult for us, modern men, to understand ancient classics, particularly what were described in religious doctrines.  However, after reading The Path of Life, I can understand them naturally.  Like ancient sages, Master Ou saw that when the universe primarily formed there was nothing but indistinct chaos, and then later on there were vitality (all types of materialistic elements) and Pan Gu.  Pan Gu used his own power to work on the vitality which became more and infinitely more, hence all things in the university formed.

From above we can deduce:  Diseases arise from bad Qi (the harmful materialistic elements) and therefore can be treated with good Qi (the beneficial materialistic elements).  If we can make good use of the related principles, then we can heal our own bodies.  At the same time, The Path of Life is full of philosophies which make readers consider their diseases and sufferings as unavoidable agonizing tortures; therefore, reading the book they can relieve their frustrations easily and achieve better health. 

Secondly, The Path of Life reveals all kinds of chaos’ wonderful scenes which actually lead readers to enter a kind of unconscious Qigong practice.  In this book there are lots of descriptions about the scenes, and those scenes are what Qigong practitioners can see in a high-level Qigong state.  When readers are reading this book, they are actually experiencing a high-level Qigong state and Qigong practice which are also considered as a process of treating diseases. 

Thirdly, The Path of Life may carry a Qi field and carry the energies which haven’t been detected by the modern science.  When someone wants to use this book to treat diseases, under a consciously relaxed state, one can receive the energies emitted from this book, and the energies heal the diseases.  Also there are possibly other reasons such as one’s psychological factor or other factors; no matter what kind of factor, we should analyze it and make good use of it as long as it is beneficial to people’s physical or mental health.       ……

Miracles are merely things different from the ordinary.  However, things in this world differ in thousands of ways.  Therefore, we cannot assume that miracles will often occur after we experience one.  It is very important that we keep on practicing Pan Gu Shengong and reading Master Ou’s books and keep on exploring and experiencing to seize the particular feelings towards the effects occurred accidentally.  And this type of feeling is the key for us to improve our effects."
