What Does Taoism Focus On?

In reality, there are a few drops in the rain which can be perceived. They are enough to ground our soul. When interacting with the endlessly hard and the infinitely soft, we are greatly inspired by the elements. When you are ready to give, you must be prepared to observe under the veil which hides the true intentions of the people. The hidden nature within which clouds the way of the Dao, light the path and be inspired to change.

Story of Confucius His Life and Sayings

By Master Ziji on 9 Jun 2018 • ( )

Confucius is known under his Latinized name, but his family name is Kong, and his given name is Qiu. Kong Qiu was a master of the six arts, the required education for commoners at this time. The six arts were rites, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy and mathematics. Being a master of all the six arts make a real gentleman. Kong Qiu is a man of the people and therefore always a topic when it comes to education and politics. His methods are much inspired by the teachings of Laozi but on a more personal level. He always had the power to encourage people to understand the greater good and common interests.

Preserving the Culture and Maintaining Tradition

Educating in the west about Wudang and Daoist culture is the purpose of our Wudang academy. In contrast to the chaotic and commercialized development in China, we intend to keep our content unbiased and available to everybody. While there are many self-proclaimed Daoists in Europe, our website will help you to understand and identify imposters. Wudang is not Wudang, and the understanding of Tai Ji varies significantly upon educational level, our goal is to narrow this gap down as much as possible. The teachings of the San Feng Lineage are very strict and focused on the traditions and self-development. Understanding these teachings in a practical sense is the highest priority in our educational content.

Promoting Education for Professional Groups in Health & Medicine

In our Austrian Headquarters in Vienna (Wudang Akademie) we are supported by the Stadt Wien (Capital Vienna) to provide education programs for professionals in the medicine and healthcare department financed from the WAFF promotion fund. This highly efficient method to achieve health benefits through self-therapy based on our San Feng teachings was firstly introduced by Michael Weichhardt. It is great to see that Wudang arts can be properly adapted to our western culture and give people the health benefits and inspiration to work on themselves.
