References Points

[Emptiness]

As I was studying the book MKF I came across these differing names of the reference points. Could someone please clear this up so I may now know the correct names of the three reference points? :confused:

Pg. 79 - Ch5
Tan Jung-high reference point - From the top of the nose to the top lip
Yan Jung-middle reference point - The solar plexus
Daan Tin-lower reference point - Three fingers below the navel

Pg. 89 - Ch6
For instance, altitude can be determined by drawing the upper (called Yan Jung), middle (called Tan Jung), and lower boundary reference points (called Daan Tins) for weapons employment, as depicted in figure 6.2.

Glossary goes along with page 89

Thank You

I also read this on page 52 - Ch 3

The range dimension of each gate described sideways via elbow and striking point position in relation to the three reference points called Saam Ming Dim and individually named (1) Tan Jung (which correlates to the heaven gate), (2) Yang Jung (which correlates to the man gate), and (3) Dan Tin (which correlates to the earth gate).

Eric :rolleyes:

Wow Emptiness, we should have had you proof read MKF. Looks like you found not on but two typos.

Yang Jung = Heaven Gate
Tan jung = Human Gate
Dan Tin = Earth Gate

Hope that clears things up...

BTW, sorry for not getting back to you sooner.

That about sums it all up definitely one of my favorite chapters.
