ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

This book has been over a decade in the making. I thank foremost
those Taoist Masters who were kind enough to share their knowl-
edge with me, but never imagined it would be taught to westerners.
Such is the Tao.

I acknowledge a special debt to H. Reid Shaw for his encour-

agement after I had just arrived in America and for his hard work
on an initial manuscript.

I thank the many contributors essential to its final form: the

artist, Susan MacKay, Gunther Weil, Rylin Malone, and all my
students for their feedback, Master T.K. Shih, Kim Wang, and
Juan Li for their fine artwork; Jeffrey Antin, and Marcia Kerwit for
their additions; my assistant Jo Ann Cutreria for typing the man-
uscript into the computer and endless help; Daniel Bobek for his
long hours at the computer, and Barbara Somerfield for her pa-
tience as my publisher.

A special heartfelt thanks to Michael Winn for his selfless

labors, and for saying so eloquently and insightfully in English
what my Chinese does not permit.

Without my wife Maneewan the book would have been aca-

demic. For her gifts, my gratitude and love.

A WORD OF CAUTION

Any man suffering from venereal disease or any local illness of his
sexual organs or prostate gland should consult a medical doctor
and a qualified instructor of Taoist Esoteric Yoga before practicing
the methods taught here.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR — Mantak Chia

The author of this book, Mantak Chia, was born in Thailand

on April 4,1944. When he was six or seven years of age he learned to
"sit and still the mind" from Buddhist monks while on a summer
vacation. This is not to say that he was passive and quiet as a child.
In fact, he excelled in track and field events during his grammar
school days in Hong Kong. It was during that time that he learned
the traditional Thai Boxing and met Master Lu, who taught him Tai
Chi Chuan. Shortly thereafter, Master Lu introduced him to
Aikido, Yoga and more Tai Chi. His knowledge of esoteric practice
did not begin, however, until he was eighteen and he had returned to
Thailand. It was at that time that a senior classmate, Cheng Sue Sue,
a student of Yi-Eng, taught him the level of Tao Esoteric practice up
to the Reunion of Man and Heaven.

When he was in his twenties, Master Chia studied with Master

Meugi in Singapore, who taught him Kundalini Yoga and the Bud-
dhist Palm. With the Buddhist Palm, he was soon able to eliminate
blockages of flow of life-force in his internal organs and to drive
cold, wet or sick energy out of patients who came to see his Master,
thereby restoring them to health. The young Mantak Chia felt, how-
ever, that Kundalini Yoga produced too much heat and could be
dangerous and so he later combined it with elements of Taoist prac-
tice, which had cooling effects.

Later, in his twenties, he met and studied with Master Pan

Yu, who had created a synthesis out of Taoist, Buddhist and
Ch'an teaching, and Master Cheng Yao-Lung, who had also cre-
ated a new system by combining Thai Boxing and Kung Fu. From
Master Cheng Yao-Lung, he learned the Shao-Lin secret method
of internal power as well as the Iron Shirt method called "Cleans-
ing the Marrow and Renewal of the Tendon". From Master Pan
Yu, he learned a variation of Kundalini and the "steel body", a
technique that is said to keep the body from decay. Master Pan Yu
still lives and practices in Hong Kong, where he treats patients by
transmitting his life-force to them. To better understand the
mechanism behind the healing energy, Chia also studied Western
medical science and anatomy for two years.

Yet, with all of these achievements, Master Chia was the man-

ager of the Gestetner Company in Thailand, was in charge of sales
of offset machines and was well acquainted with the working of
the company's copying and printing machines. He may well be the

only Taoist master in the world with a computer in his living room.
He is also married and has a son. His wife Maneewan works as a
medical technician. He is, in short, living proof that his practice is
very much down-to-earth, striving to enhance everyday life and
not requiring retreat from society to a hermit's life.

The main thrust of Chia's intention is to strip away the mys-

ticism, the mumbo-jumbo, the powers vested in the Guru, the re-
liance on things-other-worldly or magical. He seeks to present, in-
stead, a fully predictable working model that might be considered
as a scientific means of dealing with energy systems. In time, he
hopes this will lead to technological developments that might serve
to simplify or speed the means whereby such progress might be
made. It is with such hopes that he beckons members of the
medical community to investigate what he has to offer. There are
already physicians and lawyers and computer programmers, who
have experienced, first hand, the benefits that Master Chia's meth-
ods provide. It is up to them and others in the scientific commun-
ity to join Master Chia in his lifetime task of bridging the gap be-
tween reason and spirit, mind and body, science and religion.
