A notable philosopher, dancer, performing artist, and internationally acclaimed Taiji master & educator, Chungliang has received a number of impressive accolades (including the Gold Medal Award, China’s most prestigious award in the field of education) and collaborated with more than a few of the most highly regarded scholars of modern times — among them Alan Watts, Joseph Campbell and John Blofeld. His way of being flows as peacefully as his lithe body, and his laugh rains down indiscriminately upon everyone around him, just as warm as the beliefs he enlivens.

“Begin each day by harmonizing your body and your mind and your spirit with nature … just as if your body were swimming downstream, effortlessly being carried along … Learn to open yourself … Open your arms, open your mind, and then open your heart. Relax and breathe. You will find your horizons expanding, your vision improving . . . Enjoy this open-arm, open-mind, open-heart position … Play your body like a bamboo flute. Lift it up to the wind, it plays itself … Avoid overworking to fill yourself with muscles, ideas and stale information … To know the Universe, simply take the ‘S’ out of ‘cosmic’!” ~ Chungliang Huang
