| Posted: 09 Sep 2010 08:05 PM PDT St. Louis – On October 1st through the 3rd, Taoist Priest, Master Yun Xiang Tseng (Chen) will visit the St. Louis area to teach the ways of ancient Chinese Taoism and how they apply to modern times. This is a rare occasion and the first time a Taoist priest has visited the area. Master Yun Xiang Tseng (Chen) was a child prodigy in Chinese martial and healing arts. At the age of six he was chosen by his master to learn the ancient wisdom of Wu Dang Tai Chi, Qigong, Meditation and healing. He is of a 14th generation Wu Dang Zhang Sanfeng lineage and a 25th generation Longmen Taoist Priest. He was given the Taoist name of Qing Zhen. In 1990, he immigrated from the People's Republic of China to the United States. He now resides in Golden, Colorado with his wife and three children. Chen has trained many thousands in America and over 10,000 people in China. He has a gift for making these authentic Taoist teachings understandable. He teaches the Wu Dang tradition of Taoism throughout the United States. He has appeared on various major network news stations and has been interviewed by newspapers as well as published articles in national magazines. He is involved with two documentaries which aired in the winter of 2006. A true son of the Tao or "the Way", Master Chen believes most strongly that only in having an open sharing affection for human kind can he impart the great message of peace and hope that he has come to North America to deliver. His teachings are always informed by his knowledge of classical Chinese medicine and his extensive background in Chinese classical literature. Currently, Chen is the President of Chi for Longevity, President and founder of the Association for Chinese and American Enrichment, Inc. a not for profit organization, and serves as director of Wu Dang Cultural Studies in America. He is the official representative of Wu Dang for the Wu Dang Taoist Association. Chen's mission is to build the first Taoist Monastery in the U.S. On October first through the third, Master Chen will conduct a Taoist lecture teaching traditional Taoism applied to modern life, a seminar teaching a rare ancient Qigong exercise form to help cure many illnesses and a Taiji power building workshop. These workshops will be sponsored by the St. Louis Taoist Association in conjunction with the Center for Spirituality and Sustainability.
