Breaking Through the Barriers of Darkness: Recognizing the Cult of Qigong for What It Is: Chapter 4: "Tibetan Buddhism is mainly divided between the Red and Yellow denominations. Long-term training is mainly by means of the Tibetan gong method with the goal of supernormal capabilities as its major focus, though emphasis is also put on Tibetan medicine and the study of Buddhist theory. The major methods of practice of Tibetan qigong are sitting in meditation, learning gong from masters, and cultivating a belief in the reincarnation of the soul. Major functions include sense transmission by will, tianmu opening, keeping out the cold, sit-and-die, and light cremation, etc. It is said that light cremation is an unintelligible phenomenon. When a practitioner thinks he is going to become Buddha, he will sit in meditation in front of all followers. Then his body begins to radiate colorful lights and shrink gradually. When light cremation is complete, only the hair and fingernails are left. The bodies of the ones with slightly lower gong levels, cannot be completely light cremated. There will be left a very small body as hard as iron. This supernormal capability is rare. It is a big strange sign performed by evil spirits."
