USER REVIEWS
"First of all, I would like to thank Dr. Mao for creating such a Wonderful piece of art--the art of living healthy and peacefully.
In these 2 CDs, not only Dr. Mao gives you his priceless tips on how to live healthy, but he also guides you through the practice of breathing meditation. Dr. Mao's voice is amazingly beautiful, more soothing than any other musical meditation CDs that you ever listened, yet it is so powerful, so masculine, full of energy and compassion. Dr. Mao's speech is so clear and organized, keeping you calm and alert at the same time. The techniques of breathing mediation that Dr. Mao offered in his second CD are very practical and easy to follow. You can see the result in just few practices.
This is a Great Contribution that Dr. Mao has done to bring peace, health, happiness and long life to the World. However, keep in mind that the title "Meditation to Live to Be 100" is not quite true because not anyone who meditates will live up to 100. There are many other factors that affect a person's life expectancy. Even if you followed strictly a healthy life style + exercise + meditation + having good thoughts, some still die before 100. This situation can only be explained by the theory of your past life karma (past actions) that continue to follow you and affect your present life. In order words, no matter how well you care for your life, your life is still affected to some degrees by your past life actions (past karma.) Just don't be discouraged! If you were discouraged and did not care at all, your life will be even worse because of your past stupid actions + your present stupid actions. Guess how your next life time will become if you gave up NOW? The answer is "worse than the present one!" Why? because life is just a continuation of time and actions, causes and effects. This explanation does not mean that you will never be able to live up to 100 or more some time in your life times. As you make improvement in each life time of yours, eventually in one life time you will be able to reach a very long happy life--"PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT!"
Also, you will often hear Dr. Mao saying: "your body is designed to live to 100"--this makes me wonder whether Dr. Mao is the Creator of this Universe because only the Creator of something has an idea of how long that thing is designed to last. To me, if Dr. Mao was the Creator, he could only be the Creator of his own body and mind but not of anyone else. Even if Dr. Mao was the Creator of himself, he still does not have enough Wisdom to see how many years his life will last. Unless Dr. Mao is already an Enlightened One with Devine Eyes, he will never be able to guess how long your human body is designed to last based on all the practices that he teaches you and all the interviews that he made with centenarians. Why? Because every being in this Universe is so unique based on his or her own karma. NO TWO TWINS ARE THE SAME! Karma is your continuation of actions and thoughts that have been changing non stop from one life time of yours to the next. With Dr. Mao's human naked eyes, he can never see through the continuation of changes in his or your karma since many life times, in order to determine how long his or your body is designed to last. Further more, if Dr. Mao explained that God designed us to live up to 100, why are there certain human beings in history such as Lao Tzu who lived up to 260 years old, and Pong Tzu lived up to 800 years old? Does God lack compassion and have favortism towards beings, or God truly has no Power over all beings' life expectancies?
"Words are louder than thunder!"--says Dr. Mao. But I think that the True words are faster than the speed of light and have more depth than the sea. Words that are louder than thunder are often empty shallow words that lack wisdom and honesty. The more you go around and use thunder words (Big Untrue Words) to teach the World, the more you will be hit by the echo of your own thunder. There is a huge difference between using the true words to teach and using the thunder words to impress others. Both can gain the audience's attention, but both do not lead to the same path. So, why using the Untrue thunder words to trap youself and your audience in the forest of ignorance and greediness? Selling words to make money and gain reputation is the career of a writer and a teacher, but selling Untrue Words with the intention to gain more money and public attention will trap you and your audience in a fantasized World from one life time to another. The Light of True Wisdom will never reach those teachers who value their reputation and money more than their true honest words.
Well, from the depth of my heart, I appreciate and love Dr. Mao very much for letting me hear his lovely voice and teaching me the breathing meditation technique which surely is important for my health. I would be more in love with Dr. Mao's teachings if he could use his words more carefully and more honestly. Dr. Mao would be much more sucessful, much more compassionate to humanity, much more knowledgeable, and much more handsome from inside and out if he is humble to learn the lesson from this review. I know he will...!!! ;-)
May you all be wise, be calm and be honest to gain the True knowledge for your long meaningful life!
