EVA WONG'S VISITS
The San Francisco Shambhala Center has invited Eva Wong to San Francisco several times and help identify preferred locations for our new center. Ms. Wong is the 19th-generation lineage carrier of Xiantianwujimen Taoism (Pre-celestial Limitless Gate School of Taoism) and 3rd-generation student of Wang Xiangzhai, founder of Yiquan martial arts and Zhangzhuan (standing qigong). She is also the author and translator of 12 books on the Taoist arts of health, meditation and qigong, including Nourishing the Essence of Life: The Outer, Inner, and Secret Teachings of Taoism.
