ABSTRACT
)ore than merely *rain+neuroplasticity, heart+to+heart imprint sealing HHI"- Chan Ding completely changes the
normal *rain traits and regenerates a ne *rain ith superior self+healing capa*ilities for various physical, psychological
and mental ailments& Differing from the mind+*ody intervention in most meditation techni.ues, Chan Ding is e/clusively
heart+dominant, more correctly, *rain dominated *y heart& $y activating the ten+mailuns system in Chan Ding, practitioners
disclose the uni.ue *rain functioning scheme, documented in Diamond "utra, for connecting physical entity to spiritual
entity& In the process of *rain reformation, three important mailuns play the crucial role& Chan0in mailun inside the third
ventricle creates poerful field to harmonie all neurons in the *rain into a tran.uil *rain& 2hiHui )ailun at corpora
.uadrigemina ena*les the physical *ody to *e in tune ith nature& %a3an )ailun at hypothalamus elicits the pure egoless
compassion ith great *liss& Chan Ding ith tri+mailuns resonance effectively universalies all *rain neurons to construct a
detached *rain and evo#es photoelectric potence of *rain neural netor#&
This paper for the first time reveals the intrinsic mechanism of e/clusive *rain reformation through HHI" Chan
Ding& Chan+Ding EE4 electroencephalograph- of the *rain cultivated *y tri+mailuns resonance reveals rather persistently
focalied and stationary cortical inter+regional interactions particularly in the central+frontal midline region&

Chan+Ding practitioners evo#e the invalua*le potency of ten mailuns for driving and energiing the meridian

strengthening of mailun energy promotes the Chan+Ding state from physical the *eginning- to detached, spiritual the
righteous-, and finally to eternal state Prajñāpāramitā Chan Ding- of reality& Fi*eration from the *rain+mind dominance *ecomes the essential step& The intrinsic mechanisms can *e interpreted through the si/ propositions *elo&
Proposition 1: ChanXin Resonance Harmonizes all Brain Neurons
Chan Ding is the important scheme for connecting ith spiritual entity andrealiing the macrocosmic realm of
life& To cultivate the spiritual poer, or Gshen in TC), the li*eration of the earthly *rain and mind is essential& The term
Gearthly is used to reflect the deeply rooted traits of the *rain *eing *ound *y the time+and+space perception as ell as the
sensory and intellectual aareness of physical orld&:ccording to Cosimo Urgesis clinical studies on 88 neurosurgery
patients =!(>, selective damage to left and right inferior posterior parietal regions induced a specific increase of
self+transcendence& Nevertheless, Chan Ding *ased on a more natural and intrinsic scheme leads to modulations of neuralactivity in frontal+central and temporal+parietal regions for launching for macrocosmic realm and transcending e/periences&
The core mechanism relies on the mailuns resonance ith ChI& $y intensively continuous focuson Chan0in, an e/clusive
photoelectric energy surges from the third ventricle and propagates throughout the entire *rain to harmonie all the *rain
neurons in the ay that *rain *ecomesmore tran.uil and pure at every moment& This process of *rain reformation
su*stantially changes not only the physiological functioning of the *rain *ut the mental, emotional, and psychological
traits& Practitioners gradually reach the state of internal mental serenity ith *lissful spirit all the time& The upgraded *rain
stays in the Chan+Ding state all the time, yet, e/hi*its remar#a*le creativity and superior mindful attention, *esides their
ultimate compassion and euphoria&
To investigate the effect of such intensive Chan0in vitaliation, e analyed the mass centers C x, C y, C z - of *rain
potential mappings at the prominent positive pea#s a**reviated as P)Cs- of ('+channelEE4 electroencephalograph-

To the practitioners, Chan Ding is undou*tedly a scientific scheme for cultivating the spiritual entity in that all
doctrines conveyed *y Chan patriarchs are not merely *eliefs or ideology infeasi*le, instead, those can *e realia*le and

"cientific e/ploration of Chan Ding is still in its infancy as little is #non in regard to the states and
characteristics of detachment, Wu-i, #ive-skandhasemptiness, ten+mailuns system, true heart, etc& Nevertheless, the
isdom of !iamond Sutra, the most important doctrine in Chan "ect, could pioneer the study in *rain science& In addition
to descri*ing ho to disclose true nature in the heart, !iamond Sutra provides the most profound, perspective reality and
illustration for preparing the uni.ue *rain for pro*ing and realiing the intrinsic creativity of eternal universe& HHI" Chan
