Dr. Hong teaches his dizi (apprentices) the philosophy and wisdom of life; guiding them to cultivate moral character and purify hearts while strengthening physical, mental and spiritual health. Through different qigong practice techniques and self-cultivation, Tai Ji Men dizi learn to reach the highest state of unity between heart and qi, harmony between heaven and man, finding the true self and returning to original purity.
