Master Zhao Ming Wang Features our Red Flag! (21.9.2018)

The Daoist teachings, although taught through the reforms of Old Master Zhao Bichen, remain independent and unchanged. I would point out, however, that Mainland China is a Communist country and that Master Zhao Ming Wang is proud of the accomplishments of the Communist Part of China (CPC). The Qianfeng School teaches anyone irrespective of where they are from or regardless of any political views held. This system of interaction is dependent upon virtue and respect. Obviously, if these attributes are lacking, no positive exchange can take place. In the above very kind note, Master Zhao Ming Wang thanks me for my life-long practice and support of the Qianfeng School, and for my ongoing translation work.

South Devon: Visiting Torquay Museum! (31.8.2018)

We often see various statues of Darwin in the museums in London, but we also enjoy visiting Down House in Kent – his former home. Considering how much research and data we have access to in London, Torquay Museum contains objects that really impressed us, and which were presented in a highly beneficial (and educational) manner, particularly for the children. The museum now has purpose-built learning and play areas for younger explorers, whilst the adult visitors can learn from the historical narratives tactfully covering exploration, imperialism and looting. It is a tricky business presenting this type of information, but we can state that the staff of Torquay Museum have created a very progressive atmosphere that favours ongoing learning over dogmatic versions of history.
