Can patients with terminal illnesses benefit from practicing martial arts?

Mr. Kong De: Hello. I often see your name in the "Wudang" magazine and have read your translated work "Le Yu Tang Yu Yu", knowing that you are a successful cultivator. Here I would like to discuss some issues with you and hope for your correction. As far as I know, if the Taoist cultivation methods are correct and appropriate, they should be able to cure all kinds of diseases at present, including various rare and difficult diseases as well as various terminal diseases. I don't know if they are correct or not. The historical knowledge is correct, but there is still a problem. That is, a person suffering from a terminal illness usually has a short period of time. Some may die within two or three years, while others may die within three months to half a year or about a year. In such a short period of life, has there been any benefit from cultivation? I hope the above questions can be answered. If possible, I would like to have a more in-depth discussion with you, but this might affect your cultivation. Because there will be quite a lot of people coming to you for answers to similar questions. Besides, I have no idea what fate will be like. Right now, I have a feeling that I'm leaving or it's time for me to leave, but I just don't know when or how to get back. Of course, I also hope to overcome diseases and death through spiritual practice, just like other fellow practitioners, to extend my life as much as possible and do what I should do. Mr. Kongde replied: Throughout history, the elixir scriptures and Taoist books have stated that as long as a person still has a breath left and turns their heart back to the Tao, "returning to heaven" is always powerful. In my opinion, all of this is to encourage people to hold a positive outlook on life and not just sit and wait for their doom. On the other hand, even if you are seriously ill, as long as you treat life well and exercise actively and diligently, there is hope for your recovery. From ancient times to the present, there have been numerous examples of curing various rare and difficult diseases as well as terminal illnesses through health preservation and cultivation. More than ten years ago, writer Ke Yan, through his personal experience with Qigong, wrote a reportage titled "Cancer ≠ Death", confirming cases where some cancer patients were cured of cancer by practicing Qigong. Theoretically speaking, when a person is diagnosed with a truly terminal illness, that is, when the disease has reached the "terminal" stage, it is impossible to save their life (unless medical science advances in the future and can perform organ and limb cloning and transplantation). Since the fundamental basis on which human life depends for survival has been completely destroyed, it can only be scrapped and not restored. But in fact, the internal conditions that cause people to fall ill vary greatly from person to person. Some people may seem to have a terminal illness, but their inner conditions indicate that their "terminal" illness is not "terminal", and there is still a possibility of recovery. If he takes an active exercise approach, he is likely to recover. If he gives up exercising, he will also give up the right to survive and the possibility of recovery. Therefore, I can say that all those who have cured extremely difficult and incurable diseases and achieved self-recovery through health preservation and cultivation are not truly "incurable" diseases. However, it is impossible for anyone to judge who is truly "miraculous" and who is not among all those who have been diagnosed with "miraculous" conditions by the hospital. The only possible way is to actively exercise yourself and test "absolute" and "continuous" through exercise. There is no other way. However, I also need to remind you of one point: Even if a person is truly diagnosed with a terminal illness, as long as he actively practices, although his life cannot be saved in the end, it is possible and real to extend his lifespan and reduce or eliminate his suffering. I have had such an example myself. From the perspective of the fundamental value judgment of life, life is value. What critically ill patients demand to embody is the fundamental value of "life" in life. Therefore, for the same terminal illness, those who live one more day, one more month or one more year are far more valuable in life than those who live one less day, one more month or one less year. You don't need to guess the will of fate; you just need to strive on your own. Whether to leave or not is not your business; whether to exercise or not is your business. The reply is as above. I wonder if you are satisfied.
