In the sutra, Buddha has talked about the list of difficulties, in which it is difficult to be born as human and it is difficult to encounter the True Buddhist Dharma”. Also, in another sutra, He gave a parable that the opportunity to be born in a human body is very difficultly as a blind tortoise encounter a tree in the great ocean. Therefore, we need to respect and love our human body. Maintaining a good health is even more important for Zen Zong Buddhist practitioners. First most, it is required to have a healthy body, which gain a balance of positive and negative electromagnetic so that the practitioners can perceive the purity inside themselves.
