Tibetan Qigong
Master Zi Sheng Wang Brought Tibetan Qigong to the West
In 1994, Vajrayana Master Zi Sheng Wang (Chöying Rangdrol) was given the mission by his teacher of the Nyingma tradition, the venerable Khenpo Munsel Rinpoche (Tuchen Gyatso), to bring Dharma, or Buddhist teachings, to the West. In 1995 Master Wang arrived in the U.S. and began teaching Dharma and Tibetan Qigong. He also began training qigong teachers so that more Westerners might have the opportunity to benefit from these ancient Buddhist practices.
Tibetan Qigong
Thousands of years old, qigong (pronounced chee gong) acknowledges the infinite wisdom of the body-mind. Everyone has self-healing ability. Through movement and meditation qigong practitioners are able to access this self-healing ability to balance and strengthen qi (life energy), reduce stress and build a stronger immune system.
Benefits of Tibetan Qigong
With regular practice Tibetan Qigong can strengthen the immune system, clear energetic blockages, displace negative qi, improve metabolism and absorption of nutrients, and expel toxins. Disturbing emotions are diminished and one feels inner peace and compassion. With diligent practice Tibetan Qigong will also enhance creativity, intellectual power and concentration, as well as, activate hidden potential and supernormal abilities.
The basic practices of Tibetan Qigong are easy to learn and well-suited for people at different levels of health and fitness. For example, some forms can be done effectively while sitting or lying down. The movements are gentle, simple and bring rapid results. Although the practices come from Buddhist traditions, one does not need to be a student of Buddhism to benefit from Tibetan Qigong. Tibetan Qigong is for everyone!
Tibetan Qigong Practices are Lineage Teachings
Lineage teachings are handed down from master to student from one generation to the next in an “authorized” or very precise way so that the energetic benefit of these ancient practices comes to us undiluted. All higher level teachings taught by Master Wang are from Vajrayana, most are from theNyingma tradition. Level I teachings taught by Master Wang and his students come from Tibetan Buddhist traditions as well as from other Buddhist traditions. The basic Level I practices have shown outstanding results for healing disease, and for this reason Khenpo Munsel agreed that they should be included in our teaching tradition.
