Master Zi Sheng Wang (pronounced W-ah-ng), preeminent Qigong healer, has been studying Qigong for almost 60 years. He has developed the unique ability to transmit energy to tens of thousands at a time, even across vast distances. The International Chinese Medicine Congress honored him as the Most Outstanding Qigong Master of the Year in 1998, and he is recognized as one of China's foremost energy healers. In Beijing, he has coached some of China's top athletes. He is a board member and advisor of many Chinese Qigong associations, and is the founder and president of the San Francisco based International Tibetan Qigong Association. He has authored the book, The Path of Dzogchen, currently available both in Chinese and English.

Master Wang vowed at an early age to avoid conflict and political activism and pursue an inner path of the spirit. He has been a devout Buddhist since the age of nine. At that time, shortly after the Japanese invasion of China, the Chinese people were suffering from a widespread famine. Thinking her son was going to die from severe health problems caused by the famine, his mother placed him in a temple so the monks could prepare him for death. Instead, he recovered and began to study the ancient healing art of Qigong with the monks, learning from both Buddhist and Taoist teachers. As a teenager, he was sent to study at an American Christian missionary school.

These unique circumstances gave Master Wang the opportunity to discover common threads among cultures and religions and he continued to develop his spiritual path. Ultimately, he traveled to Tibet to become a student of the high level Tibetan Buddhist teacher, Khenpo Munsel. In 1953, he was accepted as a student by Khenpo Munsel Rinpoche, a highly respected Tibetan Buddhist lineage holder of the Nyingma tradition. Khenpo Munsel Rinpoche, whose Dharma name was Chr Cheng Jia Zuo, was the 11th lineage holder descended from Padmasambhava, founder of Tibetan Buddhism. Master Wang knew that he had found the most important teacher of his life.

Finally this Rinpoche, known as the Grand Master, was convinced that Master Wang's intentions were sincere and admitted him as the first Chinese disciple in memory. Thereafter, for 40 years Master Wang traveled each summer from his coaching and teaching job to the high peaks of Tibet to study Tibetan Qigong. In the early 1980's the Grand Master realized that Master Wang had reached the highest level and was ready to accept his own disciples. Shortly before his death in 1994, the Grand Master gave this devoted Chinese disciple the formal title of Rinpoche, and bestowed upon him many of his Dharma objects and treasures of the Nyingma Tibetan Buddhist tradition. The Grand Master recognized that Master Wang's background uniquely qualified him to bring these ancient and sacred healing practices from Tibet to the west, and assigned him this task to keep these teachings alive for the benefit of mankind.

In order to carry out the Grand Master's directions, Master Wang came to the United States in 1995 and began teaching and performing group healings using Tibetan Buddhist Qigong. He also created a nonprofit organization, the International Tibetan Qigong Association, for the purpose of preserving and teaching Tibetan Buddhist Qigong practices.

Master Wang continues to make bi-annual pilgrimages to Tibet where he is involved in helping rescue and publish ancient Nyingma texts, constructing bridges and student housing so students can travel to Tibet to learn advanced levels of practice. He also teaches, conducts healings, and assists lamas in whatever ways he can. In this country, his goals include building a temple, a Tibetan Qigong school and a senior citizen community in the San Francisco Bay area, and publishing his book, The Path of Dzogchen, in English. As he has done for most of his life, Master Wang remains focused on the inner goals of compassion, healing, and delivering the ancient teachings of Tibetan Qigong to new generations of practitioners.
