ABOUT THE COURSE

Participants will also develop a clear, cognitive understanding of the theory behind these potent, enduring techniques.
The teachings and practices offered in this course are based on the 800-year-old Emei Linji Chan Lineage of the Sino-Tibetan borderland—ancient knowledge that has only become available to the lay population in the past ten years.
A senior student of Emei Lineage Head, Grandmaster Fu Weizhong, and student of Emei methods since 1985, Devatara Holman is a Certified Master and Fourteenth Generation Teacher in the Emei Linji Chan Lineage of Chinese Buddhism (now referred to as the Emei Qigong Lineage for the benefit of educating the lay population). She has been granted the privilege of offering these teachings in America and is making them available in our community. Devatara lived in the border region of China and Tibet for seven years during the 1980’s, where she began her study of Buddhist medicine and the integration of medicine and spiritual practices. Devatara has dedicated her life to the benefit of all sentient beings, and increasing awareness of the great benefits of Buddhist medicine and the wisdom of the Emei Linji Chan Lineage.
