Teachers

In many years of teaching in Europe, Guo Bingsen, in consultation with his master, has gradually released the higher level exercises (i.e. Nei Jing Gong 2 and 3) from the original secrecy or the one-on-one instruction practiced earlier.

In addition to Dao Yuan Nei Jing Gong, Master Guo Bingsen has brought a wealth of other exercises to the West. Thus, students can develop a comprehensive understanding of different methods and goals of traditional Qigong and realize those - provided regular practice - in practice: from Dao Yuan Fan Teng Gong to the exercises for cultivating the mind.

The Dao Yuan School is one of the few qigong schools in the world that teaches exercises for developing the emission of qi, as well as those for cultivating jing and ming - mind and life - almost continuously in public.

Master Guo Bingsen taught Qigong in Europe for 27 years, most of it after his retirement. It was always important to him not so much to distinguish himself with his own skills, but rather to teach the classical practice systems as comprehensively as possible. This should enable his students to develop mastery in Qigong themselves.

Also of great importance to him is to understand Qigong as an experiential basis of Chinese philosophy and medicine and not as a religion or idealistic world construction. Although the theorizing of Qigong is based on a different kind of observation than modern Western science, the effects of Qigong can be measured with modern equipment. The complex systematics of Qigong, Chinese philosophy and medicine are still not adequately explained by Western science.

At an advanced age, Guo Bingsen retired to China in 2014.

Edith Guba has been a master student of Guo Bingsen since 1996 and since the summer of 2014 has been his and his master's authorized successor as director of the Dao Yuan School in both content and organization.
