Fiery Zen

A mysterious Chan Technique handed down from the Western Regions Esoteric Sect. Its training method is utterly different from Central Plains martial arts: not only are the postures strange, the wording is deeply obscure, and the final two chapters are translated so badly they make no sense at all, making them hard to read.

Training in this Chan Technique is a matter of putting your body to work. You light charcoal and wood, spread sharp broken stones over it, and then train atop the stones. The trainee must quietly circulate Internal Skill to expel the heat from the body, or else he will set himself ablaze.

It is said that at the highest Realm of Training one can sit in meditation and float in the air, dislocate and stretch out the joints of the hands and feet to strike people, and spit out raging fire.

But with the contents of the last two chapters unknown, that Realm is one that can never be reached.
