Zhenbao Jin, who lives in China, gave a wonderful presentation on Tuesday, February 7, on the power of healing through “Qi”, as it is known in Taoism. Since Zen has traditionally a strong relationship with Chinese culture and philosophies, much of what Zhenbao talked about sounded familiar.
Dr. Zhenbao Jin has a PhD degree in the philosophy of law. He had been a lawyer and a law lecturer in China. Due to the diagnosis of non-hodgkin's lymphoma in 2012, he started to practice meditation for the purpose of healing. His approach is based on an integrative understanding of Taoism, Confucianism, Buddhism, philosophy and science and emphasizes the role of Qi, or life energy in the development of consciousness and physical and mental health. Dr. Jin has fully recovered from the lymphoma as well as the other problems he has had, including atrophic gastritis, prostatitis and ankylosing spondylitis simply through meditation and sports. Dr. Jin now lives in Shenzhen, China and is a teacher of healing meditation as well as a researcher on meditation, spiritual traditions and their relationship with philosophy and science.
