Master Chen’s insights, illuminated through analogies like the bicycle and the door hinge, alongside the wisdom of his mentor Hong Junsheng and Taoist principles, underscore that genuine mastery in Taiji and beyond is a journey demanding dedicated time, disciplined focus, and a willingness to learn through consistent repetition and unbiased observation. This path requires taming the restless mind, adhering to fundamental principles without deviation, and cultivating a deep presence that allows for profound understanding to emerge organically, ultimately leading to a transformative personal experience that transcends superficial knowledge. |
| This lecture has been edited and enhanced for clarity first presented by Master Chen in Oakland, CA, USA, 2013. |

A young woman bathed in golden morning light cradles an overfilled coffee cup, dark liquid trembling at the rim. Outside, the day hums with warmth and possibility. Janis Joplin‘s raspy voice floats gently through the air “ My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends… ”
A book tilts precariously on the table’s edge, caught between stillness and surrender. She sways to the rhythm, a sleepy figure outlined in light, shoulders hunched like soft question marks. Then, with a breath drawn deep, she rises, posture aligning with purpose, as the music murmurs, “ Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends…” |
| Her stomach stirs. Breakfast, forgotten, now calling. She reaches for a curved knife, aiming at a watermelon. On a whim she pivots, selecting ripe fruits instead. The blender whirs, a mechanical harmony to the fading echo of Joplin’s blues. As if on cue,a synth swell ripples through the air, Frankie Goes to Hollywood crashes into the moment. The provocative lyric emerges from the haze, “ But shoot it in the right direction / Make makin’ it your intention “, bold, insistent, electric. The sound urges everything to become louder, brighter, bolder. She lifts her headphones and places them aside like a relic from another mood. A new rhythm begins. She opens her laptop. The glow of the screen spills across her face, quiet and curious. The title flickers: Master Chen’s Workshop. She leans in as the video begins …… | |
