As part of its ongoing efforts to introduce the traditional Chinese Taoism culture and health cultivation practice to the western world, Lao Zi Academy successfully organized a year-end on-line meet-up session with Master Wang Liping on December 25, 2010. This online meet-up is overlapping with Master Wang Liping’s onsite 10 days private  training retreat (organized by Lao Zi Academy). This completes our 2010 series of events including Master Wang's public or private teaching classes, Dragon Gate retreat in USA and on-line meet-up sessions.

On-line Meet-up:

We received lots of interest and active participation in the on-line meet-up session. A number of participants scattered across Canada and USA joined this session. Master Wang Liping and Kathy Li (Master Wang’s authorized disciple and teacher) hosted the event in Dalian, China. The students and Master Wang greeted Merry Christmas and New Year wishes to each other, after which Master Wang took time to answer questions from every single participant. Some of the questions raised at the session include:

· Is Dragon Gate practice compatible with Buddhist practice?

· Is it necessary to achieve full lotus sitting in order to advance in your system?

· What can a middle-aged person expect to achieve from practicing the Ling Bao Tong Intelligent Internal Alchemy Arts taught by Master Wang?

· Does the blood drive and Qi, or the Qi drive the blood?

· What is Master Wang’s opinion on standing practice;

· I found myself having almost no breathing in deep practice, is this strange or normal?

· Who are Master Wang’s authorized disciples to teach?

While we had participants ranging from new comers to veterans who have followed Master Wang for a number of years, all of them were very excited to have the opportunity to speak with Master Wang directly and seek his guidance on Taoism theories or practice.  Hepled by David (a Chief Financial Officer of a famouse company), Kathy (a professor and doctor in medical science, the diciple of Master Wang) organized this event. Dr. Sun and Mr. Liao, the board directors of Lao Zi Acaemy also put much efforts into this event.

At the end of the session, Master Wang thanked everyone for joining the session and invited them to meet him in person and participate in the events authorized by him. Dr. Sun and Mr. Liao on behalf of Lao Zi Academy, thanked everyone for their participation, reiterated the Academy’s commitment to promote the global awareness of Chinese Taoism culture and wisdom, and invited everybody to continue to support the Lao Zi Academy.

On-site Training:

Students from United State, Swiss land and British took part in this 10 days training. One student said, “Great learning experience and thank you very much for making it possible for us study with you, Master Wang”. Another student said, “thank you for the genuine experience of this traditional and difficult Taoist training”. One senior student came to China for practicing with Master for several times, he experienced very excellent enlightenment and deep awareness during the “Golden Flower” training. Mr. Liao tirelessly and gratuitously guided this trip and translated Master Wang’s every single word to the students, and helped to meet the students’ every sign requirement (even for some difficult requirement, such as, eating corn in winter time in the China rural eara). One student said that Wang sifu is very humble and he is impressed with his teachings unlike the "hodgepodge" teachings of other so-called “new created Master”. 

Everyone says the same thing: "The dream for studying with Taoist Master Wang Liping comes to true in this Christmas and New Year season, this is so great."
