Core Principles of Primordial Meditation

This method emphasizes naturalness over deliberate control or rigid practice, favoring effortless relaxation and harmony of the body and mind with the Universal Dao.

1. Wu Wei: Natural Harmony Through Non-Action
• No deliberate regulation or control of breathing or fixation on energy centers (e.g., the Dantian). Let the body settle naturally.

5. Avoid Misunderstanding & Pitfalls in Practice
• The emphasis on natural alignment prevents energy imbalances or anomalies.

3. Freedom from Restrictive Forms
• No prescribed breathing patterns or qi manipulation—let qi flow naturally.
• Release fixation on specific body parts; maintain inner stillness and awareness.

4. Avoid chasing Meditative "Achievements"
. Let the mind rest in natural tranquility.
. Without clinging, Qi moves unimpeded; free from delusion, practice deepens naturally.

2. Effortless Relaxation, No Emphasis on Specific States of Mind
• Sit upright with a relaxed spine, tongue lightly touching the roof of your mouth, and gentle nasal breathing—all without strain or overcontrol.
• Softly gaze forward, then close the eyes partially, allowing a softly defocused awareness. No need to visualize anything.

Historical Roots of Primordial Meditation

Primordial Meditation traces its origins to Dao Yuan (道院), established in 1920 in Jinan, Shandong, China. Dao Yuan promoted spiritual cultivation and charitable works. In 1921, it founded the World Red Swastika Society, promoting humanitarian aid and spiritual growth.

Modern Serenity

Ancient Simplicity

At the beginning of the 20th century, Primordial Meditation had spread across China, with over 600 Dao Yuan branches. It later expanded to Southeast Asia, the Americas, and beyond. After 1949, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Taiwan became vital hubs for dissemination, eventually reaching global audiences.

The practice was transmitted by the "Supreme Primordial Ancestor, the Holy One" through planchette writing. It emphasizes refining the body and spirit, purifying the heart, and achieving cosmic unity. Teachings are preserved in texts such as 《坐义通篇》and《先后合天中运坐道坐谛释义》.

Today, Primordial Meditation is taught not only in Dao Yuans but also shared through books, courses, and digital platforms, empowering modern practitioners to nurture well-being, elevate consciousness, and foster harmony in society.

Why Should We Cultivate?

Life demands purpose. Those who embrace their path walk with clarity; those who are adrift languish in confusion. Cultivation is mastering the art of conduct in life—aligning actions and speech with virtue.

Harmony Begins Within
Parents who embody integrity and lead by example, not through empty words, will inspire their children.

Relationships Rooted in Grace
Brotherly bonds, marital respect, and trusting friendships blossom through tolerance and gratitude.

Be True to Heart and Live in Peace
Cultivation is not about superstition; it is a holistic approach to nurture wholesomeness. You may not seek immortality, but cultivation begins when you yearn for joy, health, and happiness within your family.

True Mastery Is Letting Go

Many cling to obsessive burdens: past failures, others’ judgments, or unfulfilled dreams. These chains of obsession exhaust the soul—release them to ascend to new heights.

Letting Go ≠ Surrender
It is wisdom in motion:

· Embrace imperfection—life thrives at 80%, not in perfection.

· Don’t dwell on the past—time moves forward; so must you.

· Don’t worry; focus on the present—the future will unfold with ease.

A Little Humor Makes Life Easier
“A tranquil heart is home.” Life inevitably brings setbacks, but even storms can become adventures. Shift your perspective, and the weight of your struggles may lighten.

Let Go to Pick-Up and Rise
Life is like a balloon: clutch it tightly, and it bursts; release it gently, and it ascends. Shed fear and fixation—discover boundless freedom! 😊
