Kelvin Ho completed 200 yilus in 21.5 hours 3

by webmaster on 2021/12/27

Kelvin Ho took on the yilu challenge once again and completed 200 yilus on Dec. 24, 2021 as inspired by Sooyeon Zacharias’s 180-yilu record on Dec. 18, 2021. He first attempted the challenge back in 2018, and completed 115 yilus. He started at 3:35 am and finished at 1:05 am. The entire duration was 21.5 hours broadcasted on zoom with 16 hours and 5 mins actually doing yilus. Many people came to visit and cheered. Many thanks for everyone’s support, especially for Sevastianos Maillis from Greece, Jojo Juarsa from Indonesia, and Sooyeon Zacharias from Canada who did yilus along side through zoom. They definitely helped ease this challenge. Sevastianos completed 36 yilus, Jojo completed 71 yilus (his personal best), and Sooyeon did another 100 yilus. For more information about Yilu Challenge, please refer to https://practicalmethod.com/2014/07/the-yilu-challenge/.

S: Yilu
A: Don’t you do that everyday already?

My visit to Daqingshan 4

by webmaster on 2014/06/17

By Marjorie C

It was cold, wet and grey when I arrived on Daqingshan in May. Under my cold, cold breath I cussed Singapore friends who told me to pack short-sleeve tees. And oh, the stairs! Stairs to Wangting hotel, stairs to Changxing training hall, and more stairs to the condo. Surely the three weeks of training ahead would drag on. Read more

Hands get warm 1

by webmaster on 2010/10/20

William: Master Chen, I have noticed that my hands get warm when I do a part of the Yilu (First Routine) correctly. What is happening ?
Zhonghua Chen: Nothing is happening. It’s just part of the progress. Stay on track. Ignore what is happening and continue to train correctly. This is where some people will start seeking the sensations that will eventually cause the practice to deviate.
