Grandmaster Fu has made significant contributions to the art of Qigong. He is renowned in China for being one of the first masters to spread Qigong to large numbers - originally starting the Qigong wave back in the late 1970s.
He has proven himself many times over. Worldwide, he has taught Qigong and Enlightenment to over 2 million students. In China, he became so popular that numerous Chinese government officials, clergy, and international clientele - including the late President Deng Xiaoping - received his Chinese Medical and Qigong healing services.
He left China to live in the United States in 1995, when he began spreading Qigong to many Western cultures. His story is an inspiring journey into the depths of Internal Energy Cultivation and Spiritual Self-Realization.
He was born into a Chinese Buddhist family with a long and uninterrupted line of traditional Chinese medical practitioners. His Grandfather, an emperor's family doctor, adhered to a family tradition by beginning to instruct Grandmaster Fu when he was six years old.
At the age of nine, when he was already skilled in Martial Arts, he became a dedicated student of Luo Xingwu - the Eminent Chinese Martial Arts Master. He paid for his lessons by cleaning the master's house and preparing his meals. He acquired great discipline and mastered many arts, including many Shaolin styles. He went on to reach very high levels in Martial Arts. However, this was only the beginning of his journey.
By the time he was 12 years old, he was already practicing acupuncture and herbal medicine under his grandfather's watchful eyes. To this day, he is considered the Father of Modern Medical Qigong in China and was the first to disseminate it to large numbers of medical professionals.
In 1976, after returning from northeast China to Beijing, he planned to take a master's degree in religion and was looking for a renowned professor to guide him. A friend, Liang Shu Ming, took him to meet Abbot Ju Zan, the Supreme Abbot of Chinese Buddhism and 12th Lineage Holder of Emei Qigong. When Grandmaster Fu first set eyes on Abbot Ju Zan, he recognized the remarkable monk from recurrent childhood dreams that foretold of their meeting.
Grandmaster Fu taught outdoors in Beijing winters wearing a t-shirt and sandals. He earned respect from both doctors and students. Most people expected this extraordinary Qigong Master to be an old, old man, but, of course, he wasn't. He developed many new paradigms in China that were previously unknown - such as the Qi-emitting lectures that drew great crowds.
In the 1980s, he was giving Qi-Emitting lectures to small crowds of 5000 and large crowds of 100,000 people who were packed inside football stadiums to receive the healing Qi/Energy he would emit.
In 1995, he brought a treasure chest of Qigong, Taiji, and healing knowledge to the United States that most people in this country had never seen.
Grandmaster Fu has since taught Qigong and Taiji to thousands of Americans. Yet, he feels the real essence of Qigong is more than vital energy cultivation and obtaining special abilities. He feels that cultivating virtue and attaining enlightenment bring the true fruits of happiness and empowerment into the human experience.
In 2005, Grandmaster started the long process of returning the knowledge that he learned from his Grandmaster, Ju Zan, to the monk who will share his lineage title and succeed him. He has also started to train teachers at all levels, overseas. Currently, students in America are the first to have the good fortune of having this opportunity.
