Genuine Taoists - seminar clip
Master Dong Yang in a short clip from a seminar discussing Taoist hermits in society.
Continuing the Daoist Legacy of Lao Zi (Lao Tzu)...
The LaoZi Academy was established by Daoist Master Dong Yang in order to teach the public the powerful secrets of ancient Daoist life.
The Academy focuses on the exercises and philosophy used by China's ancient Daoist masters in the attainment of health, happiness and longevity. Most of this foundational knowledge has been lost or kept secret for thousands of years.

Using Tao is like a switch
Taoist Internal Cultivation focuses on the accumulation of a connection with Tao. People think of this as accumulating some type of energy, qi or power but the closest description is to cultivate openness and emptiness.
The more empty the mind and body become the more ‘room’ there is for a connection to Tao to be accumulated.
Great Taoist masters are able to achieve such a high degree of emptiness in both body and mind that they are able to accomplish anything they wish if they choose to ‘switch Tao on’. This is because the level of emptiness achieved is directly related to the power of Tao that can be used.
A master may live as a recluse in a hut yet have the potential to control a whole nation if he chooses to ‘flick the switch’ and access the powerful connection with Tao that he has created throughout years of dedicated practice.

To Sense is to Exist
The Pre-condition for existence is to be able to witness the world around us. Without the optimum mind-body health achieved through Taoist exercises the ability to sense and perceive gradually becomes clouded and is eventually lost altogether in death.
Practical Taoism focuses on maintaining our ability to be perfectly healthy in every way so as to be always able to sense, to ‘see’, and therefore exist in the world around us.
Taoists believe that when there is no life there is nothing therefore it is of the utmost importance to cultivate a rich and harmonious life here and now; Achieving the powerful ability to enjoy the richness of every moment in life.
Many Famous Taoists throughout History have no graves to their name. It is said that they were able to cultivate the Powerful benefits of Taoist Health practices to such an extent that they were able to become masters over the process of life & death.
Confucius was famous and wise yet he still had to meet this final limitation of death. Masters such as Laozi & Lu dong bin met no such final limitation. Taoists believe this mastery of longevity is the ultimate freedom.
