Mantak Chia has been studying the Taoist approach to life since childhood. His
mastery of this ancient knowledge, enhanced by his study of other disciplines,
has resulted in the development of the Universal Tao System, which is now
being taught throughout the world.
Mantak Chia was born in Thailand to Chinese parents in 1944. When he was
six years old, he learned from Buddhist monks how to sit and “still the mind.”
While in grammar school he learned traditional Thai boxing, and soon went on
to acquire considerable skill in Aikido, Yoga, and Tai Chi. His studies of the
Taoist way of life began in earnest when he was a student in Hong Kong,
ultimately leading to his mastery of a wide variety of esoteric disciplines, with
the guidance of several masters, including Master I Yun, Master Meugi, Master
Cheng Yao Lun, and Master Pan Yu. To better understand the mechanisms
behind healing energy, he also studied Western anatomy and medical sciences.
Master Chia has taught his system of healing and energizing practices to tens
of thousands of students and trained more than two thousand instructors and
practitioners throughout the world. He has established centers for Taoist study
and training in many countries around the globe. In June of 1990, he was
honored by the International Congress of Chinese Medicine and Qi Gong (Chi
Kung), which named him the Qi Gong Master of the Year.
