My name is Wei Qi Feng. I was born in 1973 in Gansu Province in northwest China . I began learning qigong in middle school. At this time I felt sad and confused and wanted to know what my life was for. I wandered in the nearby mountains seeking Daoist and Buddhist sages but didn’t find anyone. Then in 1991 I learnt Zhineng Qigong and found inner peace and a common community. As soon as I was able, I did the three month training class at Huaxia. On returning to my school I began teaching Zhineng Qigong and soon had more than 200 students. I also did healing with them and their families.

 

In 1993 I returned to Huaxia to begin the two year teacher training course. This was only the second year of the programme and we were fortunate to be mostly taught by Dr Pang himself, which was not the case for later students. When I graduated in 1995 Pang Lashi wrote me “nu li wei Zhineng Qigong shi ye feng dou; hunyuan ling tong”. This means “put all your efforts into spreading Zhineng Qigong culture” and it has inspired me ever since.

In 1995 I began work as an editor at Huaxia, where I usually led the morning and evening practice of Huaxia staff. This included all the healing teachers, senior staff from the different departments and all the staff of the publishing department as well as a range of other workers. In all there were 500 – 600 people practicing together. I also was part of the small group (of 10 – 20 people) used to teach new methods as they were developed by Pang Laoshi. He would teach us the method and we would then teach it to all those at our practice.

Early in 1999 I moved to the Third Healing Department so as to broaden my experience. The Third Department was for people who were turned down by the other two Departments as being too seriously ill and they all required medical attention. At any one time there were 300 – 600 patients there. Another teacher and I led the daily practice there and taught the methods to patients.

At the end of 1999 I left Huaxia. I had two dreams. One was to set up a kindergarten to teach children; I felt it was easiest to help children as it is difficult to change adults. My other wish was to help those whose suffering was greatest but who were unable to help themselves, such as amputees or blind people whose family had deserted them. Unfortunately, difficulties for qigong at that time meant I was not able to achieve my dreams.

In 2006 I was able to begin teaching qigong again. My dream now is to help develop a centre where Zhineng Qigong friends all over the world can come together to research, study, practice and help spread Zhineng Qigong culture. I want to use Dr Pang’s teachings to help create a new model of thinking and living together.
