Jeffrey C. Yuen
Daoist Traditions College was inspired by the teachings of Jeffrey C. Yuen, one of the most sought-after teachers of Chinese medicine throughout the world. He is an 88th generation Daoist priest from the Jade Purity School, Lao Tzu sect, and a 26th generation priest of the Complete Reality School, Dragon Gate sect. He apprenticed for more than 20 years in Classical Chinese Medicine and other Daoist healing arts with Master Yu Wen, who transmitted his lineage to Master Yuen before Master Yu Wen’s death at the age of 108. He also studied under the direct tutelage of Lu Xin-Zu, a Daoist priest of the Long Men tradition.
He is recognized internationally as a master of Acupuncture, Classical Chinese Medicine, Daoism, Chinese Herbology, Tai Chi Chuan, and Qi Gong. His teachings emphasize the importance of Daoism in cultivating one’s life and spirit to prevent illness, and the use of Chinese medicine for maintaining health and treating illness.
​
Master Yuen has recently moved into a new chapter of life to focus on developing a Daoist Conservancy for the preservation of Daoist relics and texts. His goal is to share these artifacts with those interested in gaining deeper insights into their own practices. We share his vision of making Daoist teachings more accessible to the public and for scholarly studies.
​
While his presence will be missed on our campus, his teachings are still woven deeply into our programs and will continue to inspire us. Daoist Traditions College library has the largest collection of Jeffrey Yuen course recordings in the US. Students and alumni of our programs can use this valuable resource to expand and enhance their learning and practice.
Master Yuen’s legacy will live on at Daoist Traditions, not only in the knowledge he has imparted to us but in the values of Daoist philosophy and Classical Chinese Medicine practice that we continue to embrace.
