Juan Li -- a short bio
Juan Li began his journey of self-development in 1970, upon graduation from Brooklyn College, in New York. He received a degree in Ancient Chinese History, specializing on the influence of the I Ching on Chinese culture. From 1971 until 1978 he resided in Nepal where he began meditation practice and training in the dream yogas and mantra from a series of Indian and Tibetan teachers. During this period his main teachers were Lama Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche of east Tibet, Lama Sangye Tenzing of Nepal, Lama Kongtrul Rinpoche of eastern Tibet and Yogi Nitaigiri Babaji of Orissa, India.
In 1979 he began studies with Takizawa Sensei of the Shinto system centered on the sacred mountain of Iwakiyama. It is there that he was introduced to the inner teachings of the I Ching guiding the seven stages of yogic practice. During this same period he began to practice the Chinese martial arts with Sifu Kim Ho Chu who taught him two styles of Tai Chi and one of Kung Fu over a period of seven years.
In 1982 he met Daoist Master Mantak Chia in New York, with whom began a long period learning and collaboration in the editing and illustration of twelve books. In 1996 Juan Li, together with Mackenzie Steward helped write and illustrate under the supervision of Master Mantak Chia, the book, The Inner Structure of Tai Chi.
Since 2008 he has been refining the practices on death and transcendence with Lama Ayang Rinpoche, from whom he received in 2009 the transmission of the True Nature of Mind in Bodhgaya India.
The central practices of Juan Li are the dream yogas, mantra and the I Ching. Since 1988 he has been developing a program of teaching following the structure of the I Ching as a means of complementing the energy techniques of the Dao system with a clear of set of ethical values and ways of behavior. From 1996 he has specialized on the emotional, mental and psychic obstacles encountered by western practitioners, giving emphasis to the need to raise the level of consciousness instead of orienting the practices to seeking short term powers. This approach to practice he has named ‘I Ching Dao’
Since 1988 Juan Li has been teaching the complete Daoist system in 16 different countries of Europe and the Americas. Since 2003 he resides in Spain, from where he trains a group of instructors on the different levels of the I Ching Dao program.
