Simon Lau

Master at The Simon Lau Centre

I was born in China and from a young age educated by Buddhist monks. This instilled in me the belief that the minds that co-ordinate the activities of violence can also co-ordinate the activities of cooperation. Everyone has an equal right to eliminate suffering and seek happiness.

To understand this potential, I trained in martial arts and qigong. The discipline training became an invaluable tool to teach me how to overcome my fear of violence and allow myself to perform everyday life in a more spontaneous and constructive way. My life has been dedicated to cultivating mind, body, and spirit to the highest degree.

In keeping with the Warrior tradition, I have focused my life as much on being a healer as being a martial artist. I am a sincere practitioner of qigong, Chinese herbal medicine, and Chinese astrology, believing that physical, emotional, and spiritual health are essential for self-development and inner awareness. Everyone has the potential to improve and change because each new day represents a new life. Every hour of our time is a gift.
