The flame of our mission was nearly extinguished in these past years from lockdowns, trade wars, purges, deplatforming, and occult wars. We have endured and regrouped, we have purified, empowered and reborn with even more zeal for the original intentions. This is to teach the expedient means of the Way, to offer the empowering herbs and tools and techniques of the Immortals, Heroes, Gods, and Buddhas as true saints of the Path. This involves the deep personal, silent testing and ordeals of retreats and the complete thought, word, and deed integrated to this mission.

We are currently recovering backlogs from Winter storm service interruptions and working on upgrades to our website and email communications for the new season. We give thanks to all that have supported our Work and mission for so many years and we look forward to more dynamic projects.

"The center of a circle without a circumference as isshiji (one-child-earth). This indicates that each person is the primary concern of great compassion, just as an only child is the sole focus of parental love. Genshin, one of the great teachers of Japanese Pure Land states, “The Buddha’s regard for each sentient being with eyes of compassion is equal, as though each one were his only child; hence I take refuge in and worship the unsurpassed mother of great compassion.”

The decline of all Traditional institutions of the Way as a mechanism of initiation has emphasized the importance of the original Path. This is to withdraw, to self-empower, to transcend the fetters of ordinary mind and to achieve direct encounters with the Gods, Immortals and Buddhas. All else is distraction, waste, and dissipation. Body, Speech, and Mind must be engaged in the Way with urgency and immediacy, in this very Body, in this very Life Time. Now.

One must test this Realization in their ordinary life, in their own circumstances, in their homeland, their mundane life. Bringing the skillful methods and insights back to the world is essential to the Buddhist path, and the concealing esoteric power of a true hermit, a sincere Bodhisattva that hides the light and strength to work in anonymity, patience and toil for the easing of suffering. Therefore, we invite all those seeking true Expedient Means for training Esoteric or Ta***ic Buddhism, the supreme synthesis of the Vedic, Buddha, and Daoist Dharma teachings integrated with the ancestral culture and karmic circumstance, to contact, join and support this Sangha for many forthcoming dynamic projects, teachings and essential aids in the Path.

The pinnacle expression of the Way is found within the concept of Bodhisattva. It is the supreme expression of personal striving for enlightenment balanced with the support of the Sangha and the eternal dedication to defer full enlightenment until all sentient beings, down the lowest hell, are liberated. Buddha was a reformer of the Way, removing the pure ego of personal enlightenment, piercing to the true reality of Dependent co-arising (or Paticcasamupada), our inter-mingled origins, karma and existence. The healing of this mutually shared suffering (dukkha) and the path to liberation are the essence of the Dharma, the prescription for this unhealing wound and heart-mind disease is the teachings of the King of Medicines, the therapy of expedient or skillful means. It is our Dharma that distills these methods to dynamic protocols that eradicate sickness and generate Siddhis, priming one for advancing states of accomplishment. This must be balanced with the Bodhisattva actions in healing, in creating sacred spaces, in secret charity, in ceaseless striving to teach and propagate the Way. Just as the sacred peahen transmutes the poison to elixir, the Bodhisattva transmutes the pain of the world into liberation.

"Outwardly in the world of good and evil, yet without thoughts stirring the heart - this is meditation.
Inwardly seeing one's own true nature and not being distracted from it - this is meditation." - Huineng

"There is nothing true anywhere, the True is nowhere to be found. If you say you see the True, this seeing is not the true one. When the True is left to itself, there is nothing false in it for it is Mind itself. When mind in itself is not liberated from the false, there is nothing true, nowhere is the truth to be found." - from The Sutra of Huineng

The secret of the receptive
Must be sought in stillness;
Within stillness there remains
The potential for action.
If you force empty sitting,
Holding dead images in mind,
The tiger runs, the dragon flees —
How can the elixir be given?

Spirit and energy should be clear as the night air;
In the soundless is the ultimate pleasure all along.
Where there's reality in illusion
Is illusion in reality,
For the while playing with magical birth
In the silver bowl.

Preserve spirit and nourish qi.
Then you will never be separated from the Wondrous.
Mysterious and again more mysterious一
In the Human body there are Seven Treasures.
Use them to support the country and pacify the people.
Then your essence, qi, and blood will be abundant.

Essence is quicksilver;
Blood is yellow gold;
Qi is beautiful jade;
Marrow is quartz;
The brain is numinous sand;
The kidneys are jade rings;
And the heart is a glittering gem.
These are the Seven Treasures—
Keep them firmly in your body, never letting them disperse.
Refine them into the great medicine of life.
Then with all the ten thousand spirits,
You will ascend to the immortal realms.
