The MastersGreat Grand Master Chue Yen Growing up in China in the early 1900’s he studied hard for China’s most exclusive examinations. If successful, he would have earned a prestigious position in the Chinese Government. Much to his regret, the First World War unexpectedly changed things and the examination was cancelled. He left home when he was 16 and joined a monastery where one of the monks began to teach him the simpler Sam Hap Style of Feng Shui. After just a few years, he was directed to his next master, Great Great Grand Master Chan, then a wandering Taoist who took him into the mountains and taught him the more complex and powerful secrets of the Yuen Hom Style of Feng Shui. During the Cultural Revolution, he was forced to leave China and moved to Hong Kong where over the years he developed his skills and his reputation as a successful Feng Shui Master. Eventually, when he was 63, he met a 14 year old boy called Chan and fulfilled the requirement placed upon him by his own Master that he bring the teachings back into the Chan family. After many years of continuously testing his charge he subsequently passed on all his knowledge of what is now known as Chue Style Feng Shui.
From the age of 14 he began to study Feng Shui as the sole student of Great Grand Master Chue Yen. This was extremely hard work for a teenager, and at first he did not realize how privileged he was. In the early years he tried to trick his Master in the hope that he might prove him false, and then be justified in leaving! But the Master repeatedly proved his incredible powers, and the young man grew to embody the tradition of his Lineage, learning the craft of the Imperial Courts. He would often follow him into the mountains to taste the Qi very early in the morning, with a day at school still before him! Great Grand Master Chue Yen told his student that his future lay in the West. The precise date was given when it would be time to claim the mantle of the Master. He was also told that he must concentrate on study and research, also of the Forms of the Western World, so very different to those of China. It was a great wrench, but Grand Master Chan set up home in the UK and continued his studies. Although he had passed the tests that gave him the right to call himself a Master, Grand Master Chan waited, and on the foretold day a reporter knocked on his door wanting to do an article on real Feng Shui! The new era of Feng Shui in the West had begun. He began teaching and students flocked to learn the authentic material he was sharing. Great Master Chan established the Chue Foundation in Edinburgh to promote growth of genuine Feng Shui. The Foundation had long existed in Hong Kong, but Great Grand Master Chue Yen closed it and bequeathed it to Grand Master Chan, so that he could inspire a new generation of Western adherents in following the path of logic and research. Great Grand Master Chue had found Eastern students to be too unquestioning of Tradition, and saw in the West the chance to keep the flame alive in a time when the very world would be under threat from human greed, and the truth of the Ancients would be needed more than ever! The Next Generation - the lineage continues Grand Master Chan continues to pass on his wealth of knowledge to students who follow his teaching. From the hundreds of students and consultants currently studying, a few have already qualified as BaZi Masters themselves. They have take on the responsibility for ensuring the safe keeping of this ancient and valuable knowledge for future generations. They will also carry the great burden of responsibility to the future of our race, for in the secrets of this knowledge are powers to transform the world in which we live for the better and failure to act for the good of others when we are able, would be failure indeed. Together we walk a wonderful road. |
