While the Chinese calls it ‘dian xue’ (点穴), the
western friends calls it ‘dim mak’ (点脉); I would just call it ‘death touch’.
“Dim mak’ is actually Cantonese term refers to the touching of energy channels
in our human body. Whatever you choose to call this type of deadly and mysterious
technique, do you know that there is an accompanied ritual before one begins to
learn about this lethal art?
I learnt this method from Master Yang many years ago who was
from Guangxi (广西), China.
This is a Taoist ritual, so before one begins to learn about
the art of death touch, an inspired student should first draw an image of the
Jade Emperor. Then this person should sit on a chair with his/her feet dangling
down without touching the ground… of course, the person must find a tall chair
for this purpose or he/she needs to prop up the chair.
After sit in the chair, the person should stare at this Jade
Emperor (玉皇大帝) and recites the below mantra 49x:
“起眼望清天，师傅在身边，某某头戴铁帽，身穿八角衣，铁肝，铁肺，铁骨心。不请不降，不请不灵，吾奉太上老君急急如律令!”
(I raise my eyes towards the clear sky and my master is beside me.
So-and-so is wearing iron head and octagonal shirt. My iron lever, my iron
lungs, my iron bone and heart. Do not come if uninvited, it is not effective if
uninvited. I carry out the order of grand old Taoist master hastily!)
The above mantra should be recited for 49 consecutive days.
After that, the student is ready to learn about various pressure points and
energy channels of our body while learning techniques to enhance his/her
fingers strength.
After 49 days, the master will bring the disciple to the top
of a mountain or jungle with a cock. At a suitable place, the cock is
slaughtered and its blood is used as an offering to the mountain spirit. After
that, the master shall start to part his most secret knowledge of ‘dim mak’.
For example, on the use of herbs and killer techniques.
Of course, such barbarous teaching technique is no longer in
practice. Then and again, how many people would want to learn about ‘dim mak’
now days?
