The Tai Chi Gate’s Northern California branches are gearing up for a special joint anniversary celebration, aptly titled “Joyful Life through Qigong Wellness,” set for October 6 at 1:30 PM. This event marks a significant milestone, celebrating the 23rd anniversary of the Cupertino dojo alongside the first anniversary of the Santa Clara dojo, located at 5155 Stevens Creek Blvd, Santa Clara, CA 95051. Attendees can anticipate a vibrant lineup of performances, including dragon dances, traditional drumming, and informative health seminars that highlight the mental and physical benefits of Tai Chi. The community is warmly invited to join in the festivities.
Dr. Lu Huan-yi, a practitioner of Chinese medicine from Taiwan who has grown up in the Tai Chi Gate community, will be a key participant in the event. He is scheduled to deliver a talk titled “Nourishing Qi for Stronger Bones: Bidding Farewell to Aches and Pains,” where he will explore the integration of traditional Chinese medicine with Qigong principles. Additionally, special guest Zhang Yi-ran, a visual effects artist from the film industry, will share his inspiring story of breaking into Hollywood.
Culturally significant performances will highlight the event, including a dragon dance that symbolizes peace and an energetic drumming ensemble featuring young practitioners. Organizers have also planned interactive zones with cultural displays, game booths, and a signature drive for the “World Peace Day Declaration.”
Master Hong Daozi, the leader of Tai Chi Gate and president of the World Peace Association, has devoted his life to promoting values like conscience, love, and peace. He has traveled extensively, visiting 109 countries over the decades to advocate for international harmony. To date, 583 esteemed leaders from 150 nations—comprising 72 heads of state, various government officials, and 15 Nobel Peace Prize laureates—have joined him in a harmonious initiative, ringing a bell and expressing their peace wishes.
