Vacation Means “Invest in Rest”. The month of June can be beautiful and joyous. With children and schoolteachers out for the summer and many people taking vacations, June offers most of us the chance to kick back and take some much needed time off. But do we truly take advantage of these opportunities? Are You Resting Enough?
Post 3 in the Qing Cheng Mountain Journey. The walk to Jian Fu Gong is simple and unassuming—a wooden plank path winding quietly through the Qing Cheng forest. The air is cool, damp, alive. The path leads to a small side parking area used by those who work in the nearby shops, and just a few steps beyond that, you arrive directly at the temple gate.
Post 2 in the Qing Cheng Mountain Journey. Four days later than planned, I finally boarded my flight. Strangely, there was no frustration left—only contentment. I was in the air, heading toward Chengdu, and that was enough. The Tao moves when it moves.
This past April, I received a rare and humbling opportunity: a chance to return to Qing Cheng Mountain in Sichuan Province, China, to visit my Grand Master, Zhang Ming Xin, Abbot of Jian Fu Gong, the Taoist temple where I was ordained in 2016. It was an invitation that carried both deep spiritual significance and profound personal meaning.
To all my students and friends, I am traveling to visit with my Grandmaster in China. I am looking forward to reuniting with my Taoist brothers and sisters as I continue to deepen my studies in Simplicity, Patience and Compassion. They have truly been my treasures as I walk out of the darkness and into the light. I look forward to sharing my adventures with you all soon.
For all things regarding health & longevity Wu liang sho fu! May heaven's blessings be upon us! Thank you for joining the Blue Dragon Tai Chi blog. I wanted to create a space where I can share what I have learned along the way of becoming a Taoist Tai Chi Player and Priest. This blog is about all aspects of how to live a long and healthy life. It’s also about the journey of personal growth.
