金母功緣起
失去健康的人，最能體會健康的可貴。
一九九八年十二月六日清晨，華光功德會總會長、華光學院院長、真佛報總社社長、真佛宗溫哥華華光雷藏寺住持釋蓮慈上師病倒了，緊急住院。大家匆匆趕到醫院，只見上師手臂上插滿了針管，醫生檢查不出什麼毛病，但確實病得不輕。
誰知，第二天一早，釋蓮慈上師就自己開車回到真佛報社上班，把大家嚇了一跳。更令人意想不到的，一種求生的本能，以及堅強的意志力，促使釋蓮慈上師投入全付心力練「真佛金母功」，簡稱「金母功」，一段傳奇於是展開。
為什麼稱為「真佛金母功」？因為這是具有真佛宗傳承的「金母功」。「金母」就是「瑤池金母」，是道教五老之一，等於佛教的五方佛之一。瑤池金母的身分至高，在道家來說，瑤池金母是先天一炁，果位不可想像。
真佛宗創辦人蓮生活佛說，今天在世界上行道，所謂行道就是沒有隱居的佛菩薩，現在就是瑤池金母在領導，這是非常真實的，所以入世度眾生，能力、法力最高的一尊神聖，就是瑤池金母。
蒙蓮生活佛開示釋蓮慈上師的來歷，就是瑤池金母的分靈，跟瑤池金母的緣是很深，很特別的。因此蓮慈上師有因緣練「金母功」，這是她的天命。
就在練功半年之後，為了向蓮生活佛祝壽，釋蓮慈上師於一九九九年六月十九日，專誠前往美國西雅圖雷藏寺，表演「金母功」供佛。千古的美玉於此綻放出絢麗的光彩，蓮生活佛以慧眼肯定的撰文「蓮慈上師的金母拳功」評述：
「蓮慈上師的拳、腳、身體，先呈現「太虛」狀態，後來由腳及手產生了「陰陽生化」，也就是生生化化，身體也是一樣，順乎自然規律，將陰陽之氣，通脈絡，到達穴位，陰陽平調，五輪鬆解，連雙肩也拌動，達到全身上下五臟六腑之真氣混元歸一。
我看出：
「陰陽左右調正。足踏日月旋轉。混元歸一太虛。雙迴六方和合。」
其旋身迴轉均甚巧妙，進一步活動椎骨，疏通上椎，一手承接天的光明，一手護住命門，這裡面有「仙鶴點水」。
蓮慈上師的全身性整體運動，形成上下一致，內外一致，表裡一致，表現出「柔和」、「舒展」、「圓活」、「統一」，這即是「混元歸一」。
這「金母功」，外練筋骨皮，內練精氣神，不僅能強身治病，而且能延年益壽，最重要的是意識與宇宙意識能合一，光光相照，光光融合。
我看了，極為讚嘆，這裡面，有瑤池金母功法的「導引」、「吐納」及「行功」。
這簡直是不可思議！」
Introduction to Golden Mother Yoga
Those who are sick will appreciate the importance of good health.
On December 1998, Master Lian Tzi was rushed to the hospital for treatment. All kinds of needles were poked into her arms, as she was seriously ill. But the doctors could not determine what’s wrong with her.
To everyone’s surprise, Master Lian Tzi drove her own car and reported to work in the second morning. Her strong will power and survival instinct ensured that she used all her energy to cultivate True Buddha Golden Mother Yoga after the incident. And this is the origin of [the Golden Mother Yoga].
Why is it called “True Buddha Golden Mother Yoga”? It is because it has the lineage of the True Buddha School. Golden Mother refers to the Golden Mother from the celestial realm of the Jade Pond, one of the five elders in the Taoist tradition which is equivalent to one of the five dhyana Buddhas in Tantric Buddhism. The spiritual position held by the Jade Pond Golden Mother is very high and beyond imagination.
Grand Master Lu once said, “In today’s world, Golden Mother from the Jade pond is the leader in secular practice. She processes the greatest spiritual energy and ability to help relief all sentient beings from their samsaric existence and sufferings”.
During a discourse, Grand Master Lu reveals that Master Lian Tzi has the lineage connection with the Jade-Pond Golden Mother. And her affinity with Golden Mother is deep and special. Hence practicing the Golden Mother Yoga is her destiny.
After cultivating the Yoga for half a year, she made a special trip to Seattle on 19th June, 1999. She performed the Yoga dance in celebration of Master Lu’s birthday. This was how an eternal beautiful jade was discovered!
Lotus-born Living Buddha Master Lu commented on Master Lian Tzi’s Golden Mother Yoga performance.
(Quote):
“At first her fists, legs and body seemed to have shown that she was in a stage of “Wu Chi” (the great void). The her legs and hands appeared to have followed the law of nature – the negative force attracted the positive force like a magnet, the energy in her body cleared the blockage in her central psychic channel and eventually reached all the important acu – points. As a result her five energy Chakras loosened, and her shoulders started to tremble. The energy in her body unified.
This is what I saw:
The regulation of left and right energy channels, negative and positive forces.
Rotation of the foot- steps around the sun and moon.
Convergence of all the energy in the great Void.
Unification of the six cardinal directions.
The ingenious about – turn and the clever swerve had the effect of strengthening and loosening the tight vertebra. It served to receive the brightness from the divine on the one hand, and protect one’s vital point on the other. The movements consisted of the so-called “The head of the crane crossing the strategic pass” and “Divine crane playing with the water”.
The movements of Master Lian Tzi can be considered a synchronization of the upper / lower, inner / outer bodies. It showed the characteristics of “tenderness”, “flexibility”, “tactfulness and liveliness” and “unification”.
It is the convergence of all energy!
This Golden Mother Yoga can strengthen one’s physical fitness as well as improve one’s chi and vital energy. Upon mastery, illness will be a thing of the past and we will enjoy longevity.
The most important point to note is that our consciousness will unite that with the cosmos consciousness. Our own inner light will merge with that of the Universe’s and laminating one another.
I was amazed by the performance.
There are “Inducement”, “Inhalation / exhalation” and “Chi movement in the Golden Mother Yoga. It is simply inconceivable!
