Jeffrey Yuen, is an 88th generation Daoist Priest of the Yu Qing Huang Lao Pai (Jade Purity School, Yellow Emperor/ Lao Tzu Sect), ordained by Master Yu Wen, and 26th generation of the Quan Zhen Long Men Pai (Complete Reality School, Dragon Gate Sect), ordained by Master Lu Xin‐Xu. Mr. Yuen is recognized internationally to be a Master of classical Chinese medicine, Daoism, Tai Ji Chuan, and Qi Gong. Mr. Yuen trained under his adoptive grandfather, the late Daoist Master Yu Wen (1872‐1981) of the Yu Qing Huang Lao Pai, a sect from the Shang Qing tradition of Daoism. Having a strong resonance with Daoist teachings, Mr. Yuen studied extensively under Master Yu Wen and was allowed to openly practice and serve the community when he was 16 years old. Mr. Yuen also studied Chinese herbal medicine with Master Gong Song‐Liu, a eunuch for the last two emperors of the Qing Dynasty who apprenticed with the Imperial Medical Academy physicians. In the martial arts arena, Mr. Yuen trained under many eminent masters. Among these masters are Leung Shum (Northern Eagle Claw), Lo Ching‐Sum (Vietnamese Jing Wu Association), Chan Hai‐Fu (White Crane’s Eagle‐In‐Cotton), Chan Tai Shan (Tibetan Lama Style), Yao Mei‐Hua (Yang Style Tai Chi Chuan), Wang Qing Shan (Yang Style Tai Chi Chuan), and Cui Yan (Chen Style Tai Chi Chuan). Mr. Yuen believes that he can contribute to the practice of Chinese medicine by spreading the traditions of classical Chinese medicine. In that regard, he continues to teach extensively throughout the United States and abroad. He has been a member of the faculty of Daoist Traditions since it was founded in 2003.
