"Buddhism encompasses all methods and dharmas. Not only does it clearly explain the issues of body， mind and life， it does not neglect the small issues of human morality， such as 'filiality， respect for elders， loyalty， faith， propriety， justice， decency and shame." An exception is the practice of 'balancing energy currents，' about which not a single word is said in the Buddha Dharma. Not only that， Buddhism forbids the practice entirely. This is because while Taoism regards the preservation of body and mind as an ideal， Buddhism， on the contrary， teaches that body and mind are intrinsically false， born of conditions， disappearing also through conditions. They are not the Self-Nature True Mind." （Patriarch Yin-Kuang）
Buddhism of Wisdom & Faith/ excerpts:
"There are some who appear to be monks and nuns， residing in temples and pagodas; however they neither study nor understand Buddhism and only follow the practices of other religions. These people are peddling a panoply of other beliefs under the label of Buddhism. They and their followers secretly transmit their beliefs to one another. Many of them， while claiming to practice meditation， in fact specialize in exercises to balance energy currents with little knowledge of what meditation is all about. As far as the Pure Land method is concerned， they teach that one should visualize the Buddha's name 'shooting' from the navel to the back of the body and up the spinal column， and then returning to the navel. This， they say， is 'turning the Dharma wheel.' This is the practice of 'releasing blockages in the energy system，' （i.e.， balancing energy currents） according to externalist schools. Such teaching is not consonant with Buddhism."
