Yes, this is the most difficult part of the entire alchemical process - one must hold the virtuous lifestyle preventing the leakages.

And of course,

I think this diagram illustrates that the  body energy is leaking out the body. Don't you think it is a fallacy. What it is saying that all human beings, eventually, are having the possibility leaking all the body energy and die?

I didn't say that. What I am saying that is what the diagram was suggesting. My interpretation was the energy in the human body is constantly leaking out. Eventually, all will leaked out, then, the body has no energy left to sustain itself .

I understood that   .....

 

and then ?

 

if your interpretation is correct , does it not lead to what I suggested ? 

 

and my comment  is about ones   observations  ... have you not observed that all people actually do die ?  

 

And my own take on 'leakage '  is very different , it  should all be about flow , so the 'container' should be constantly 'outflowing '  but also inflowing .

 

There is no problem with outflow it is actually required .  However if 'leakage ' means damage to the container  s it can never be filled or replenished  ... then you have big health / vitality  issues , which, yes, can result in death .

I thought the concept about the  three treasures of Jing, chi, and shen was very clearly described as the eastern alchemy. I am so surprised that the concept had been floating around for centuries. Are you telling me that no one realize that is the original idea of eastern alchemy?
