Meet Melissa Liu
How did you connect to YUAN TZE and start working with him?
Yuan Tze and I met in Wellington when I was doing my last year of the four-year study in Traditional Chinese Medicine in 2002. Yuan Tze had just come from China at that time. My classmates from my TCM school went to his Qigong class and came back and told me that this teacher needed a translator. So somehow Yuan Tze and I got in touch with each other and we held a one-day workshop at my Chinese medicine school, just for Yuan Tze to test me out (laughs), and apparently I passed the test. So I started to work for him, interpreting for his classes.
When did the idea of founding REN XUE start?
Yuan Tze’s idea of creating a system started long before he came to New Zealand. In the many years he used Qigong and Qi healing to help people, he came to see the limitation of these modalities and hence the need for a comprehensive system that can help people understand life, deal with problems at the root level and uplift life.
In 2003 we created a new center in Wellington and he started to offer Ren Xue teachings.
In 2013, Yuan Tze decided to organize all the teachings into the three foundational Ren Xue theories (the theory of Qi, the theory of consciousness and the theory of totality) and created two application systems – Yuan Gong (a new Qigong system) and Yuan Ming (a new healing modality). All these were formally taught in the 6-year teacher training.
In 2018, with the completion of this training, we can say the Ren Xue system was established.
Connect with the Ren Xue Community and join Yuan Tze and Melissa for their next online events.
Growing up in Taipei, Taiwan, I had a keen interest in learning English and personal growth. In 1992, I moved to Wellington, New Zealand where I began studying Traditional Chinese Medicine. In 2002, I met Yuan Tze and became his interpreter. Ren Xue has since become the most important part of my life, providing me the foundation for understanding myself and working for my growth. What amazes me is that in all these years Ren Xue teachings have continued to broaden and deepen to help move the practitioners forward. The greatest blessing of my life is to help deliver Ren Xue to the world and have a Ren Xue family to grow together with.
