Zizen is created by Yuan Jung-Ping in 2002 after decades of studies in qigong, taichi and the arts with three Chinese masters, Sun Yuqin, Wu Zhaoji and Chang Longyien. Being their disciple, he has inherited the most precious knowledge regarding traditional Chinese ideas and practices in preserving good health and mastering the arts. These traditional ideas and practices have taken form only after five thousand years of Chinese history and after Master Sun, Master Wu and Master Chang’s lifetime of study. Zizen bases itself on the philosophies of Confucianism, Daoism and Buddhism and this is the first time when Yuan Jung-Ping opens classes publicly to teach the interested student Chinese traditional ideas and practices in health and the arts.
