Master Zhao Ming Wang & Disciples - Beijing

Beijing: Qianfeng Daoism Seeks World Heritage Site Designation! (10.9.2025)

From what I have seen from the photographs and footage Western travellers have shown me – Master Zhao lives near the Great Wall of China – and always seems to take his guests to this wonderful location. The Zhao Family Home is situated near (or on the boundary with) the mountainous areas of rural Beijing. Daoist “neidan” practice, as well as Taijiquan, is often practiced in these beautiful environs. Of course, Daoist practice is both “easy” and “difficult”. However, if a curious person is interested in Daoist practice, a good place to start is by reading the Dao De Jing (Tao Te Ching) – or “Way Virtue Class”. This may be coupled with the practice of any form of Taijiquan (or internal martial arts – such as Bagua Zhang/Quan or Xinyi-Xingyi), etc. Much progress can be made in a foundational manner until more specific instruction can be gained from a qualified Daoist Master.

Ch’an Dao Blog Article – Neidan As We Get Older! (18.4.2025)

I suspect the ancient Greeks encountered Buddhist monasticism when visiting India (such as Pythagoras), learned the Buddhist method of “looking within”, and then adjusted the technique as a means to “prove” the efficacy of their particular philosophical perspectives (the work of Plotinus may be taken as an example of this endeavour). Later, via the Greeks, a community of Jews (in Qumran) started sitting in meditation to personally attain a “glimpse of Yahweh” – a practice that eventually spread to the reformed Jewish sect of “Christianity” – whose adherents started to meditate whilst sat in the caves found in the Egyptian Desert (this type of Christianity spread to Britain – hundreds of years prior to Catholicism – becoming “Celtic Christianity”).

Answering Questions About Qianfeng Daoism! (4.5.2024)

As I do not accept money for instruction – that keeps the moronic Americans are bay. Not allowing myself to be bought for profit works wonders in this materialistic age of pure greed and delusion. Pre-modern science is nothing to be proud of in the light of modern science – although its presence suggests a culture was well on its way to further evolution and development. What is Daoism? It is an interesting observation that ethnic Chinese students NEVER ask this question – and why should they? I think to date no true Englishman has ever asked me “What is cricket?” Still, things are what they are – and we must work with what we’ve got!
