Teachers, Guides and friends
For those who have helped me along the path and shined the light where there was darkness
My Teachers (I have a lot of them, but these are the ones that I have and continue to draw from their deep well of knowledge)
Master Yun Xiang Tseng (Chen)
Master Yun Xiang Tseng, known as "Chen", is a Wu Dang Daoist priest and healer. He is a 14th generation Zhang San Feng lineage, 25th generation Dragon Gate branch (Longmen sect) lineage, authorized to practice and teach the authentic Wu Dang Taoist teachings that have passed on in an unbroken living tradition for 700 years. At a young age he was chosen to study on Wu Dang Mountain with the Wu Dang master Li Cheng Yu. After intensive study with Master Li, she sent Master Chen to the United States to share this ancient wisdom and healing art.
Master Chen is known for his profound knowledge of the Wu Dang tradition and his ability to engage his students with depth and humor. Thousands of students from around the world have been inspired to seek 'the master within' with Master Chen.
Master Chen is one of my most treasured teachers who has really shown me the possibilities of humanity and how to heal and be healed on a truly deep level.
