Yes, it is hard coded in your fairy tale book. couple of passages that my old brain still recalls.
"When the Lord your God brings you into the land you are entering to possess and drives out before you may nations...then you must destroy them totally. Make no treaty with them and show them no mercy." Deuteronomy 7:1-2, NIV. 1
"...do not leave alive anything that breaths. Completely destroy them...as the Lord your God has commanded you..." Deuteronomy 20:16, NIV. 1
既然是真不明白，那俺先就一个一个地粗浅解释一下，先说说气功吧：
气功这个词其实是上个世纪50年代才有的，大概也就几十年的历史。
古人讲性命双修，早至秦汉，儒家讲“修齐治平”，修身为起点，孟子云：“吾自养吾浩然之气”。道家讲的是炁，与气又有所不同。而传统中医则是另一回事，就不细说了，有兴趣可以看《内经》。
所以，用“气功”去谈佛教，只是近人自以为是的一种笑谈。
关于咒：
（不写了，转帖一个吧）
咒即真言，或名陀罗尼，亦即总持法门，是诸佛菩萨修持得果之心法结晶。
以下咒的解释摘自宣化上人《般若波罗蜜多心经非台颂解》
咒，什么叫咒？英文叫MANTRA。咒也有一种不可思议的境界，它有四个意思。
第一个意思，所有的咒是鬼神王的名字，好像毗舍遮、鸠盘茶都是鬼神王的名字，你念鬼神王的名字，那小鬼小神就老实了。为什么呢？啊，你认识我们这个鬼王，你认识我们的神王！这小鬼小神就不敢不守规矩了。
第二个意思就好像军中的密号似的，军中的密号就是军中的口令。在军中每一天每一天的口令不同，只有自己人才知道这个口令，外边的人不知道。好像今天的口令是“胜利”，那么整个军队都知道口令是“胜利”。譬如我见到你不认识，就问你口令，你说：“胜利”，这就对了，是自己人。如果我问你口令，你说：“吉祥”，这就不是了，就要开枪打。为什么呢？你不是自己人。咒就和口令是一样的，我们念咒，鬼神一听，我们的口令是这样子，所以他们就都老实了，都守规矩了。如果不是，他就要和你斗一斗。
第三个意思是一种秘语，其他的人不知道，只有这个人才知道。就好像本来有一个很穷、很微贱的人，他跑到外国去，外国人也不知道他是个什么？他就说：“我是某某国的国王，因为军人倒戈，国家政变，所以我跑出来到这个国家逃难。”国王也不知道是真是假，以为是真的，就把公主嫁给他，国王的女儿就和这个穷贱的人结婚了。这穷贱的人就装模作样以为自己是国王的身份，一天到晚发脾气，脾气还大得很。然后有一个认识他的人，知道他是一个穷贱的人，对公主讲：“他再发脾气，你只要说这句话：‘本来是一个贫贱的人，远游至他方，你何必有这么多的瞋呢？’”这么一讲，这贫贱的人知道有人了解他的根底，于是再也不敢发脾气。这咒也好像这样，你念咒，那鬼神认为你知道他的根底，知道他是怎么回事，就不敢对你不守规矩。
第四个意思，咒是诸佛的心印，秘语。唯佛与佛才知道，其他的众生都不知道，所以咒就不翻译，也就是一音演说咒，众生随类各遵守，某一类的众生听到这个咒都明白，好像我们人虽然不明白，可是鬼明白，神明白，阿修罗、畜生都明白，妖魔鬼怪也明白，所以你一念这个咒，他们都老实了。
这就好像有一个国王要先陀婆，先陀婆是梵语，有四种东西都叫这个名字。四种东西是什么呢？盐、水、马和大小便的东西。所以当国王说我要先陀婆，其余的大臣也不知他是要盐呢，要水，要马，还是要大小便的东西？但有智慧的人一听他在什么时候要就知道他要什么？吃饭的时候要先陀婆，当然不会要大小便的东西，一定是要盐。他要走路的时候要先陀婆，一定是要马。他渴的时候要先陀婆，一定是要水。那么看他也不渴，也不吃饭，也不走路的时候，当然就要大小便的东西。所以这咒你念出来，有智慧的鬼神一听就懂，其余不懂的也跟着那个懂的去做，所以咒有以上四个意思。

Deuteronomy is in the Old Testament, and Jesus brought tolerance to the New Testament.

Amen!
西方社会是理智的社会。他们最喜欢实事求是。佛教的修行方法之一的静坐在西方非常流行。科学界都认同静坐的好处。

A new brain imaging study led by researchers at Yale University shows how people who regularly practise meditation are able to switch off areas of the brain linked to daydreaming, anxiety, schizophrenia and other psychiatric disorders. The brains of experienced meditators appear to show less activity in an area known as the "default mode network", which is linked to largely self-centred thinking. The researchers suggest through monitoring and suppressing or "tuning out" the "me" thoughts, meditators develop a new default mode, which is more present-centred.
A report of their findings is due to be published online this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Meditation can help deal with a variety of health problems, from quitting smoking, to coping with cancer, and even preventing psoriasis, one of the researchers said in a statement. For this study, they wanted to look further into the neurological mechanisms that might be involved.
Lead author Judson A. Brewer, assistant professor of psychiatry at Yale, and colleagues, used fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) scans to observe the brains of both novice and experienced meditators as they practised three different forms of meditation.
They found that the experienced meditators, regardless of the type of meditation they practised, seemed able to switch off the default mode network, which has been linked to lapses of attention, and disorders such as attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and anxiety. This part of the brain, comprising the medial prefrontal and posterior cingulate cortex, has also been linked to the accumulation of beta amyloid plaques in Alzheimer's disease.
They also found that when the default mode network was active in the experienced meditators, other parts of the brain, associated with self-monitoring and cognitive control, were active at the same time. This was not the case with the novices.
This could be the result of meditators constantly monitoring mind-wandering and the emergence of "me" thoughts, and suppressing them. These are the kind of thoughts, when in extreme or pathological form, are associated with diseases such as autism and schizophrenia.
The fMRI scans showed the experienced meditators' brain activity was the same both during meditation and when they were just resting, or when they were not being told to do anything in particular.
Thus the researchers concluded that perhaps experienced meditators have developed a new default mode, which is centred more on the present than on the self.
Meditation has been a central part of philosophical and contemplative practices for thousands of years: it helps the practitioner to be mindful of the present moment, Brewer told the press, and studies have shown it is also linked to increased levels of happiness.
"Conversely, the hallmarks of many forms of mental illness is a preoccupation with one's own thoughts, a condition meditation seems to affect," he added.
This study appears to have uncovered some clues as to the neural mechanisms that underpin this process. Understanding more about them will hopefully help us investigate a host of diseases, said Brewer.

我觉得这篇文章的关键词有4个：佛教，气功，实践，邪灵
中心点：佛的实践中的气功练习是与邪灵相交。
结论：认识耶稣，离开佛教。
Buddists don't practice qigong. They practice meditation. Meditation is a technique practiced by many religions or non religious people.Don't you know the difference?
