Taiji Worldwide
Huang Xingxian
"Though they practice my methods, not following my (inner) way they are not my students"
Born in Fuzhou, China. Trained from the age of 14 in Fujian White Crane (白鶴拳), 18 Buddha boxing (罗汉拳) and Daoist Internal Alchemy under Old Master Pan YuBa (潘屿八), then later under Pan's famous disciple Master XieZhongxian (謝宗祥大师).
Taiji is in practice what 'Dao de Jing' expresses in principle. These principles remain universal throughout the known worlds, undiminished by their common reduction to intellectual ideas, emotional values, or religious rules, by the various races of the Earth.
Each of the 3 main realms has 3 sublevels, giving 9 energy clouds. Meditation works on the deep structures of the mind. It is a serious and potentially dangerous exercise. The ideal is to follow a senior master who has at least 20 years of self-cultivation. However, few who teach meditation fit this situation. Everywhere, inexperienced people foolishly play with the internal life of others, changing road signs and taking shortcuts, all for the purpose of power or money. Students are led astray, wasting time and energy on superficial or imaginary methods.
道生一 Dao gave rise to one
一生二 one produced two
二生三 two produced three
三生萬物 three produced myriads
萬物負陰而抱陽 myriads bear Yin, embrace Yang
