Master Shangshi
Master Shangshi is the lineage holder of the ancient Tibetan Dzogchen tradition Yamdi. He has wide knowledge in many Buddhist traditions, Daoism and Christian mysticism. From an inner urge to freedom, he practiced Qigong, old alchemical and Daoist practices, and KungFu for many years. He studied Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the I Ging and the Feng Shui. But nowhere he did find an absolute solution to all his problems, nowhere he found the absolute freedom. Until he met his master in the mountains of Sichuan, the lineage holder of the old Dzogchen tradition. He became his pupil, and after completing his way, his teacher him made him to be the holder of this tradition.
Since then, Master Shangshi teaches the way to ‘awakening into the reality of being’ – he calls is `The Way of Living Dao´. He teaches this way vividly and far from any religion. For him this experience of ‘awakening to absolute freedom’ is the core of all mystical paths in this world.
