Pronounced Shang Gong, this Buddhist system of arm and hand movements is based on the ancient Chinese medical art of acupuncture, but makes use of tiny muscle move­ ments instead of needles. The practice of Xiang Gong, literal­ ly translated as 'Fragrance Practice,' was 'originally developed by a Buddhist monk over 2,000 years ago. Passed down from master to disciple, these routines were not practiced by the public. It was not until 1988 that Xiang Gong was openly taught and publi­ cized in China by the modern Grandmaster Tian Ruisheng. Through the practice of Xiang Gong, taught to him by and enlight­ ened monk named Shi Ku Kong, Tian Ruisheng was healed of a peculiar painful skin disease that cause him to peel constantly. Shi Ku Kong told him to publicize the techniques after a lapse of 50 years. Tian Ruisheng complied and practiced for five decades until, in 1988, he began to teach it openly. Today there are over 30 million people practicing the exercise daily. The United Nations World Health Organization set up a Xiang Gong club and published a special article, intro­ ducing the techniques to all its member countries. Today, people in some 30 countries are practicing this healing art. All it takes is the commitment of 15 to 20 minutes in the morning and again in the evening. It is simple and easy to leant.
