Recently in Western science they have discovered that intelligent people are more healthy and live longer. Of course they do. They are not only able to take better care of themselves, because of their studying they become more intelligent and also more able to cope with stress. In China they knew that all along. Through practice and study you become a healthy human, some say even that you cannot be called human unless, again through practice and study you have developed yourself to an ethical being.

The Oriental College wants to help those that are prepared to study and practice. Wether it is Chinese medicine, Taiji, Gongfu, qigong, Chinese culture, or any other subject that relates to traditional Chinese culture.The road to fulfillment of your potential is not always an easy one, but it is definetely an interesting one, and who would not want to stay healthy in old age and capable of enjoying life and all that it has to offer. And what is truly great about it is that at the same time as you are studying and improving yourself you learn also to help others. Isn't that in itself a worthwhile pursuit? If you are ready for the challenge, have the right attitude for determination and desire to help others, then start today. Studying is not something you postpone till you have time, but something you take up right away and then you let the study mould and settle itself in to your life, enriching you as you go along.

   With Confucius we say : " Study without practice is foolishness, practice without study is dangerous "
 

The staff training program is also accessible for any other student from any country, since the course is multi lingual. Our headmaster Rene Goris/游理欧 will guide a one to three month intensive for anyone participating, including apprenticeship etc. The intensive starts beginning of march 2011.

Topics:

- How to use Chinese medicine to produce better business results

Working for a company or running your own business? in both cases your work can be a hazzard to your health. Small complaints such as RSI, biting stomic acid, pressure in the head or simple tiredness are common in almost any kind of work. But what if all this would not be nescesary?

In this lecture we explain how employees, managers and executives are all becoming more of a team by means of simple educational programs about health and self development; how they can learn medical self management on the basis of simple experiental programs; how they can develop dedication to succesful product making by using their job as a tool for self understanding, health and fitness development. These seemingly outrageous ideas can help you rethink your company as a family in which everyone can find their way!
　
- How TCM models can help think about organisation structure & strategy in business

Chinese medicine learning is originally based on introspection and self practice of the body by means of excercise and self discipline. In these practices people learn to feel and understand how they function. The purpose is to get the most out of ourselves under the worst stressfull circumstances. In this lecture we show how this Chinese Medicine path of introspection can help develop insight in people organisation, self organisation and resource allocation. In doing so we discover how the same learning also helps develop leadership qualities and environmental consciousness, two qualities which are very improtant markers in modern busines environments.

As part of the developments with students and the school we have been offered a piece of land and two farm houses in the cleft of Baima mountain range (white horse, China). This range is not only the origin of the Wudangpai, but it is also a relative secluded area very comfortable for retreats and prolonged periods of practice and retirement when practitioners become older and wish to prepare for the next stage of life.

There is no such place available for westerners right now, so this one will be the first and will have the support of Shifu You Xuande as well as other Zhengyi leaders and alchemists so that we can provide even more access to relevant information for our personal development, the development of Chinese medicine studies and Taiji Gongfu.

The costs of the project as a whole will be less then 80.000 euro to buy, clean and make it liveable and possibly provide a car for transport. The place is an L shaped school building, with a play square and two farm houses which will provide community places, classrooms and living quarters, and eventually a covered practice room suitable for winter practice and rain. There are caves for cave retreats, forest, wildlife and other entertainments. The whole place has some land also for growing some crops and is separated from the road by a small river with an old stone bridge.

The school sees this as a great opportunity for its long term plans which will not come easily a second time in a location and price this controllable. But we cannot afford it from the school budget nor my private budget. It is therefore that we ask your support for this in the form of a donation or a loan or (if the amount of support is large enough) a partnership in the project for a period of at least 5 years.

My eternal gratitude

Rene Goris/游理欧，武当派
 

We are slowly becoming aware that Chinese scholars and practitioners of Medicine and Gongfu are digging in the past to unearth what got lost in the savage times of the Cultural Revolution. They are way ahead of anything western scholars as yet can talk about, but there is no idea yet to let the old cultural science stand on its own two feet, that is: without the use of western science as an explanatory vehicle. But they are still caught in the conflict cased by the dogmatics of Hegelian dialectics and the fact that there are as yet too few Daoist scholars of proper repute to compare practice and theory. Much got lost in the last 200 years of Cultural Revolution under the influence of western science and military pressure.

The influence of the restoration movement is huge. And China’s economic and political successes will only contribute to reinforce that movement. It is therefore important to try to keep pace and cooperate in developing that understanding, because it will enrich the possibilities for all science.
As part of my attempts to understand Chinese cultural theoretical science I have come up with three essential branches of knowledge that need to be interlinked in the way old fashioned Daoists did:

- Chinese medicine anatomy and physiology
- Daoist Inernalized Gongfu
- Huanglao thinking based Neidan practice

Why? Well simple:

1. Chinese medicine provides the map of the human body, such as that the muscle channels are the foundation of the body and that from there the channel system builds itself in denser and denser components to end up eventually with the most yin part, the bones. It also says that building the body is a continuous process that when guided consciously makes one immortal and when left to itself causes one to die.
    
2. The internalized Gongfu内功夫 is intended to make one see two things: Taiji太极 and yin yang阴阳 interchange in the production of force, and how the pieces of the body hold together to produce strength.
    
3. Neidan内丹 or ‘internalized medicine’ practice is to help one gain control over the exchanges and timeliness of exchanges inside the body, the mind and so on.

We can see from these three that they form a unity that requires to be an inseparable whole to understand Chinese cultural biology as different from so called Western cultural biology that sees the body as a machine inhibited by a (divine) soul to make it Human: Chinese cultural biology sees person and body as a united living whole, there is no Soul required, and hence being Human is a matter of civilization!

In all these Taijiquan and Qigong play a specific role. Taijiquan is as much a behavioral science Chinese style as it is a theory of movement. Taijiquan practice knows several limbs, each illustrating a particular aspect of Taijiquan. ZhanZhuang is one of these limbs. It is in current PRC Tiyu (sports) dogma overemphasized at the expense of actual training and understanding. The different limbs represented in our fasttrack program represents the historical record of practice the best. Also what we do in our BA-MA program is outline the foundations of Chinese Cultural Biology as to properly understand and guide the practices. So you can see these skills can be practiced on a basic level, but if one aims to be a master one does need the original theories. The same goes for medicine. Why were famous Chinese doctors all daoists? Why were they practicing their body and neidan skills? Yes, that was to understand Chinese medicine theory fully. No book can replace that, while many books at the same time need to be read too. Now more then before.

If you see this as a challenge: namely to learn how to become a science instead practicing it, you are welcome to enter our program!
