- Was ist Taiji?
"The true purpose of Taiji is the true purpose of our sojourn on the Earth. Though outwardly based on physical exercises for health and self-defense, all deeply refined teachers aim to lead their students through the body to the realm of Qi, then gradually, step by step, working their way through the 3 levels jing, qi and shen before reaching the Beyond and the final realisation of freedom from the 3 worlds of human existence.
Patrick A Kelly began Taiji with an experienced student of Master Huang Xingxian in 1973. In 1977 he moved to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia where he studied full time in Master Huang's school. In 1979, following tradition, Master Huang accepted Patrick Kelly as his personal disciple - the only non-Chinese to ever enter Huang's inner-school. From that time Patrick Kelly travelled and taught beween Asia, Australasia and Europe. Simultaneously Patrick worked closely both with the Naqshibandi Gnostic Sage Abdullah Dougan for 14 years until Abdullah's death in 1987 and for 30 years with the Raja Yogi Mounimaharaj of Rajasthan who died in 2007 at more than 105 years old. At the express wish of his teachers, Patrick Kelly established a Europe wide teaching network. This is a loose association of mature intelligent practitioners - with no committees, no rules and no obligations. Within it 40 senior students (20+ years Taiji and 14+ years with Patrick) and 100 close students (average 14 to 20 years Taiji) teach some thousands of students through their fully independent schools. Patrick's true contact, both external and internal, with the 3 great streams of esoteric teachings - the Asian, the Indian and the Middle Eastern/European - now supports his teaching, which aims to lead people deeply inside themselves towards the one formless Source, which has no
name. Patrick's experiences within these 3 streams enliven his teaching, which might condense to a few words: "Seek a broad balance of experience in life":harm no-one,understand others - change yourself,feel gratitude for whatever life brings. "
