The great purpose of Taiji

is the great purpose of life itself – internal evolution.

All are born to this purpose but most quickly forget why they are here. Once enmeshed in the physical world, life serves merely the body's survival. Society's physical and social edifices, intended as forms within which humanity may evolve, become prisons. Many dream of escape but few find the practical path to freedom.

Patrick Kelly – The worldwideway

An intelligent synthesis of Daoist, Sufi & Yogic internal work

Immersed 50yrs in these 3 great esoteric streams Patrick's true contact enlivens this teaching which leads deeply inside towards the one formless Source – which has no name.

He has authored 4 books on Taiji & meditation (in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Chinese). He guides a world network of 100 teachers and 1000s of students.

"Though they practice my methods, not following my (inner) way they are not my students"

Huang Xingxian (Huang Sheng-Shyan) was born in Fuzhou where he trained from the age of 14 in Fujian White Crane (白鶴拳 Baihequan), 18 Buddha boxing (罗汉拳 Luohanquan) and Neigong (Daoist Internal Alchemy), under Old Master PanYuBa (潘屿八), Pan's famous disciple Master XieZhongxian (謝宗祥大师 1852–1930), and later Master PanZhuangnian (潘桩年).

He studied Taiji and Natural Boxing (自然门 Ziranmen) with Wan Laisheng (万赖声), a 1938 China Martial Arts Champion.

In 1947 he began Taiji with Zheng Manqing – a disciple of Yang Cheng-Fu. Huang is generally regarded as Zheng's most accomplished disciple. From 1958 on Huang established 40 schools and taught 10,000 people in Singapore and Malaysia. He moved to New Zealand shortly before his death in 1992.

Taiji Practice

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.

Taiji Principles

The further back in time we look the more obscure the history of Taiji becomes.

Yet studying this past, 2 things become clear.

Taiji's inner essence flows down from genuine teachers to sincere pupils in unbroken chains.

Each teacher devises a personal system to express and pass on the impersonal inner teaching. The teaching must evolve outwardly or die inwardly.

《道德經》 – Dao De Jing:

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
