Preventing Abuse of Yellow Bamboo Powers
The question here is:-
How would Yellow Bamboo prevent undesirable and untrustworthy people from misusing the powers acquired from Yellow Bamboo? How would Yellow Bamboo prevent abuse of Yellow Bamboo powers from practitioners who were initially good, but later changed to bad?
This question has already been answered in my article “What is Yellow Bamboo?” which says:-
“Being a spiritual practice of white magic, if someone uses Yellow Bamboo for negative intentions, it will either have no effect, or the energy will boomerang back on the practitioner. The power of Yellow Bamboo also can only be used when it is really needed, and can not be used for frivolous purposes such as tests, contests and challenges.”
Again, my article “Yellow Bamboo as a Martial Art”, also says “Pak Serengen warned that abuse of such powers, since they are not the aims and principles of Yellow Bamboo, will backfire, and the power and abilities may not work.”
Hence:-
1) Practising Yellow Bamboo may, hopefully, change the undesirable character of dubious people.
2) Even though Yellow Bamboo, like many other religions, may not be successful in changing the undesirable character of dubious people, when these unscrupulous people try to use their power to do evil deeds, their power is weak, or fails to operate, or in the worst case scenario, the result backfires on themselves!
3) For people who were initially good at heart but somehow, through unfortunate circumstances, have acquired undesirable qualities, when they try to use their Yellow Bamboo powers to do evil deeds, their power is weak, or fails to operate, or in the worst case scenario, the result backfires on themselves!
Because of the above reasoning, Pak Serengen says that there is no danger in teaching and spreading Yellow Bamboo far and wide, and to anybody who sincerely wants to learn it.
