About Mantak Chia
MASTER MANTAK CHIA BIOGRAPHY
Master Mantak Chia is the creator of the Universal Healing Tao system and is the director of the Universal Healing Tao Center and Tao Garden Health Resort and Training Center in the beautiful northern countryside of Thailand. Since childhood he has been studying the Taoist approach to life. His mastery of this ancient knowledge, enhanced by his study of other disciplines, has resulted in the development of the Universal Healing Tao System which is now being taught throughout the world.
Mantak Chia大师是道家全方位治疗系统的开创人，同时是位于泰国北部秀美郊外的道家全方位治疗中心与疗养花园度假村的负责人。 自孩提时代，他便开始学习道家的生命哲学。大师将渊博的古代知识与其他学科相互融合，开创了道家全方位疗养系统并将其推广至全世界。
Mantak Chia was born in Thailand to Chinese parents in 1944. When he was six years old, Buddhist monks taught him how to sit and “still the mind.” While still a grammar school student, he learned traditional Thai boxing. He was then taught Tai Chi Chuan by Master Lu, who soon introduced him to Aikido, Yoga and broader levels of Tai Chi.
Mantak Chia于1944年出生在泰国，父母为中国人。在他6岁的时候，佛教僧侣教他如何打坐“静思”。 还是文法学校的学生时，他学会了传统的泰国拳法。 接着他从陆大师那里学得了太极拳、合气道、瑜伽，并提升了太极拳的水平。
Years later, when he was a student in Hong Kong excelling in track and field events, a senior classmate named Cheng Sue-Sue introduced him to his first esoteric teacher and Taoist Master, Master Yi Eng (I Yun). At this point, Master Chia began his studies of the Taoist way of life in earnest. He learned how to circulate energy through the Microcosmic Orbit and, through the practice of Fusion of the Five Elements, how to open the other Six Special Channels. As he studied Inner Alchemy further, he learned the Enlightenment of the Kan and Li, Sealing of the Five Senses, Congress of Heaven and Earth and Reunion of Heaven and Man. It was Master Yi Eng who authorized Master Chia to teach and heal.
多年之后他去香港学习，并擅长田径项目，当时一位名叫Cheng Sue-Sue的高年级学生将他介绍给他的第一位秘传老师，道家大师Yi Eng (I Yun)。从此开始，Chia便开始了他狂热的道家求学生涯。他学习了如何通过围观轨道、五大元素的融合来循环能量，如何开启第六通道。在学习内丹术的时 候，他掌握了坎与离的启发、五感的封闭、天地平衡、以及天人合一。Yi Eng大师授权Chia大师进行教学与治疗活动。
When Mantak Chia was in his early twenties he studied with Master Meugi in Singapore, who taught him Kundalini, Taoist Yoga and the Buddha Palm. He was soon able to clear blockages to the flow of energy within his own body. He learned to pass the life force energy through his hands also, so that he could heal Master Meugi’s patients. He then learned Chi Nei Tsang from Dr. Mui Yimwattana in Thailand.
当Mantak Chia在20岁出头的时候，他跟随Meugi大师在新加坡学习，后者教会他生命能量、道家瑜伽和如来神掌。他很快就学会了怎样清除身体中能量流的障碍 物。他还掌握了将生命能量传至手掌，这样他就能治愈Meugi大师的病人。 接着他在泰国从Mui Yimwattana博士那里习得气内脏的知识。
A while later, he studied with Master Cheng Yao-Lun who taught him the Shao-Lin Method of Internal Power. He learned the closely guarded secret of the organs, glands and bone marrow exercise known as Bone Marrow Nei Kung and the exercise known as Strengthening and Renewal of the Tendons. Master Cheng Yao-Lun’s system combined Thai boxing and Kung Fu. Master Chia also studied at this time with Master Pan Yu, whose system combined Taoist, Buddhist and Zen teachings. Master Pan Yu also taught him about the exchange of Yin and Yang power between men and women, and how to develop the Steel Body.
不久之后，Cheng Yao-Lun大师教会他少林内功。他掌握了有关内脏、腺体、骨髓的独门秘籍——骨髓内功，以及增强重塑肌腱的方法。Cheng Yao-Lun大师的系统结合了泰国拳法与功夫。此时Chia大师还跟随Pan Yu大师学习，后者的系统结合了道教、佛教和禅宗。Pan Yu大师还教会他男女之间阴阳能力的交换，以及如何锻炼钢铁一般的身躯。
To understand the mechanisms behind healing energy better, Master Chia studied Western anatomy and medical science for two years. While pursuing his studies, he managed the Westetner Company.
为了更好的理解治愈能量的机制，Chia大师学习了2年的西方解剖学与医学。在求学途中他同时管理Westetner公司。
Using his knowledge of Taoism, combined with the other disciplines, Master Chia began teaching the Universal Healing Tao System. He eventually trained other Instructors to communicate this knowledge and he established the Natural Healing Center in Thailand. Five years later, he decided to move to New York, where in 1979, he opened the Universal Healing Tao Center. During his years in America, Master Chia continued his studies in the Wu system of Tai Chi with Edward Yee in New York.

Universal Healing Tao System
道家全方位疗养系统
The Universal Healing Tao is a practical system of self-cultivation and spiritual development.
道家全方位疗养系统是一个自我开发与灵魂发展的实践系统。
Master Mantak Chia created the Universal Healing Tao system to effectively share the many ancient Chinese meditative and internal energy practices transmitted to him by a series of masters and teachers from throughout Asia. His sincere wish is that every individual have the opportunity to complete the harmonious evolution of body, mind and spirit. Through these practices the student learns to take personal responsibility for their own physical, emotional and spiritual well being.
Mantak Chia大师自创了道家全方位疗养系统，旨在将他从亚洲各地的大师那里习得的古代中国冥想与内部能量训练分享给众人。他真诚地希望每个人都有机会完成身体、头脑与灵魂的和谐进化。通过这些训练，学生可以掌握如何对自己的身体、情感与灵魂的健康负责。
Through learning to nurture and heal oneself a solid foundation is laid for the realization of one’s spiritual potential. By re-establishing a direct connection with the natural energies surrounding us, the subtle awareness necessary for spiritual progress arises spontaneously. Ultimately, the boundaries of the physical body are transcended by the development of the soul and spirit bodies.
通过向大自然学习和自身的疗养，一个人可以为认识精神潜力打下坚实的基础。通过与围绕着我们的自然能量重建直接联系，对精神成长所必需的微妙意识也会随之而来。最终，肉体的界限将由灵魂与精神的发展而得到突破。
Though self-healing, the healer is born. Once the energy channels, or meridians, of the body have been opened and the energies of the internal organs harmonized, this unique integrated energy becomes available to heal others. Then, by opening and connecting to the sources of energy around us in Nature and the Universe beyond, boundless healing power becomes available for the benefit of all.
治疗师诞生于自我治愈。一旦身体的能量通道或子午线打通，内部器官的能量得到了协调，这个独特的统一的能量将可以治愈他人。之后只要通过将我们周围的大自然与宇宙的能量源泉打通并相连，那么无限的治愈能力就能造福众人。
Taught by over 1000 Certified Instructors and Practitioners on every continent, the Universal Healing Tao provides access to a uniquely modern integration of traditional theory, method and practice.
