Healing Background

Master Sha is a medical doctor in China and a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine in China and Canada. Born in the Shaanxi province of China, he became interested in healing as a young child as he observed people in his immediate and extended family struggling with a variety of illnesses.

At the age of six, he was accepted by the first of several masters in Eastern martial arts. At twenty-two, even before completing his training as a physician, Master Sha began to combine the knowledge of energy development he had learned through his practice of martial arts with traditional Chinese acupuncture to create his own unique acupuncture system.

Master Sha went on to study at Xi’an Jiaotong University, completing his medical degree in Western medicine in 1983. He was also certified as an acupuncturist and herbalist in 1986 by the World Health Organization’s Institute of International Acupuncture and Moxibustion in Beijing, where he taught acupuncture, tai chi and qigong to foreign physicians. He is a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine and a registered acupuncturist in Canada.

Master Sha also completed a Master’s Degree in Hospital Administration at the University of the Philippines in 1988. While there, word of his skill as an acupuncturist spread and he treated numerous VIPs while also offering a street clinic for the poor.

In 2005, under the aegis of Dr. and Master Zhi Chen Guo, his revered teacher in China since 1990, he became the sole Western teacher of Body Space Medicine, credited by the Chinese government with helping to contain the SARS epidemic in China. Master Sha learned the most profound secrets, wisdom, and knowledge from Master Guo, his adoptive father, the founder of Zhi Neng Medicine and Body Space Medicine, who also taught him the integration of Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism with modern medicine and traditional Chinese medicine.

The creator of the Soul Mind Body Science System and founder of the Tao Academy, Master Sha also supports the ongoing studies and projects of the Sha Research Foundation.

Master of Eastern Arts

Dong Yi Gong qigong lineage: Master Sha studied Dong Yi Gong qigong and Body Space Medicine with Dr. and Master Zhi Chen Guo.

Master Sha taught Body Space Medicine, which is based on the concepts of traditional Chinese medicine philosophy, Zhi Neng Medicine, and the cytology of CWM for several years in North America in honor of his beloved spiritual teacher and father.

Peng Zu Lineage: Master Sha is also the sole 373rd-generation lineage holder of Peng Zu, ordained by the 372nd-generation lineage holder Dr. and Professor Liu De Hua, who is a medical doctor and former university professor in China. Peng Zu, renowned in China as the “Long Life Star,” was the teacher of Lao Zi, author of the revered classic Dao De Jing. His lifelong anti-aging system has been passed down through oral tradition to no more than three lineage holders per generation for more than 4,300 years.

Yi Bi Zi Calligraphy Lineage: In 2013 Master Sha learned a very special form of Chinese calligraphy called “Yi Bi Zi” and became the sole lineage holder of his teacher, Professor Li Qiu Yun, who is more than one hundred years old. She has been recognized by the United Nations as one of the world’s top Chinese language experts. Professor Li learned Yi Bi Zi from Tai Shi (supreme teacher), who was the teacher of the emperor’s and royal family’s children during the Qing Dynasty, the last imperial dynasty in China. After quickly mastering Yi Bi Zi, Master Sha began to create Tao Calligraphies to help transform life Viewed in cities around the world, thousands of people have experienced extraordinary renewal from these calligraphies.

In 2016 Master Sha was recognized for his calligraphy and appointed to the position of Shu Fa Jia (National Chinese Calligrapher Master) as well as Yan Jiu Yuan (Honorable Researcher Professor), the highest titles a calligrapher can receive, by Guo Jia Min Zu Hua Yuan (State Ethnic Academy of Painting) in Beijing, China.
