#platform/youtube #channel/Master-YongHua #playlist/dharma-seeds  Your sicknesses are retributions from your past karmas. In the past you created karmas, hurt people, in particular, killed living beings, and that's why now you're sick. Your sicknesses are basically qi blockages inside your body. Your qi is the life energy that flows and carries oxygen, carries nutrients to your entire body. So that's why when we meditate, when you recite the Buddha's name... you increase the flow of your qi, that's why it unblocks these blockages. That's why you're healthier. So it's not about age, it's about your concentration. This is why the training is designed to increase the concentration. With the increase in concentration, your qi flows stronger, and that's why it will unblock more of your blockages, and you become healthier and live longer.
