Breaking Through the Barriers of Darkness: Recognizing the Cult of Qigong for What It Is: Chapter 5: "Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are shortened in Chinese as Ru Shi Tao.
The close relationship between qigong and Ru Shi Tao is only known to some qigong personnel and researchers on Ru Shi Tao who happen to know about qigong. This relation explains why among gong methods are some methods of Confucianism, of Buddhism and of Taoism. But this relation is denied and derided by many scholars. Atheists believe religion to be a kind of outlook on life, worldview and philosophical system of ethical morals. Even some theists would not regard qigong as having any actual connection with Ru Shi Tao, for they do not know the essence and principles of qigong.
Yet qigong practitioners and people who have studied qigong theory would know that qigong has a deep relationship with Ru Shi Tao. The reasons are simple: First, Ru Shi Tao theories and qigong theories are similar or completely identical in many aspects. Second, many of the gong methods practiced have originated from these three religions. Practitioners of them get great help from the philosophical thoughts and detailed qigong theories of these three religions. Hence, they have concluded that qigong and these three religions have the same origin. Confucianism has the lightest qigong coloring of these three, and this is why Confucian gong methods are almost lost and are seldom known by people today.
Why do the Ru Shi Tao all have their own qigong methods? Is this a coincidence? What are the purposes of these gong methods? What connections do they have with the philosophical theories of these religions?
This is a very natural question. The answer to this question is the key to understanding the spiritual background of these religions. We will here clarify our views about this topic and then elaborate and prove our views in the next three sections.
Generally speaking, the spiritual background of Ru Shi Tao is the activity of evil spirits, just like that of qigong. The goal of Ru Shi Tao is exactly the same as that of qigong, which is also the purpose of the evil spirits.
We all know that the purpose of religion is to enable human beings to know about spiritual reality and get close to spiritual beings. Human beings have a natural tendency to worship God. God has placed this desire within the human soul. The purpose of the devil, however, is to prevent people from knowing God, to keep them far away from God so that they will turn to the worship of evil spirits. Henceforth, it is the purpose of the devil to set up various religions in this world so that people will believe and worship the devil and his evil spirits.
However, there is only one religion that God has set up through man.
Evil spirits try to tempt man through various religions with the purpose of destroying man's soul and life. Let us stick to Ru Shi Tao for an illustration. These religions are means to make people voluntarily get close to the devil, who can then control and enslave them. First, Ru Shi Tao all offer views on life and death and philosophical theories of ethical morals. Yet these theories are very obscure regarding their views of life and death and the meaning of life and unable to survive any examinations by logic and analysis. But like almost all the rest of the religions in the world, their theories of ethical morals advocate the beauty of the humanities. No one will say to this: This is wrong. We will not because God has put the standard for right and wrong, goodness and evil, in the human heart. After people have endorsed these views, they start to accept the rest of the theories in Ru Shi Tao. If ever any theory contradicts the common morals of human kind, it will be rejected instantly. The evil spirits are not stupid. Though the motivation of the devils is vicious, they will resort to means not easily noticeable to people to dupe them step by step.
The evil spirits adulterate dangerous lies with easily accepted theories in order to catch people off guard and make them accept those views partially or wholly. This is the half-true, half-false lie that we have talked about in Chapter 4.2. Having people agree directly with the theories and then attracting them into practice are these religions' characteristic means of deceiving people.
Among Ru Shi Tao, Confucianism is the religion that has ethical morals as its main preoccupation. So it is not easy for people to discern its spiritual background. Up to the present, except for the few qigong personnel who know its spiritual background to be evil spirits, most people, especially Chinese, take Confucian culture as one of man’s highest treasures. Yet modern Chinese history has not seen success but rather suffering and shame brought about by this mainstream element of Chinese culture.
The major aspects of Taoism and Buddhism are concerned with ghosts, gods, and determinism. They have distinctive qigong theories and gong methods. Their contact with the spiritual world is relatively more direct. It is easy for people to see that their theories are about ghosts and gods; hence atheists, in particular, reject them very readily. This is also why Buddhism and Taoism have declined much more quickly than Confucianism in modern times.
Like that of qigong, the purpose of all religions with the activity of evil spirits as their background is to have people believe, worship and be manipulated by evil spirits."

In qigong evil spirits have taken off all their coverings in the forms of various religions and have presented directly their essential contents. They used to guide people timidly through the means of the various religions, but now teach people the most direct meanings of dealings with the evil spirits through qigong.
