The following is a posting issued earlier throughout Massachussetts. I am
posting this again in wider distrubution in hope if finding more people
interested in participating or helping. THIS IS NOT AN ADVERTISEMENT FOR A
CLASS. There are many in Northeast who would like to study with Mr. Kwan on a
regular basis if he were to locate here.

                Taoist practices with Kwan Sai-Hung
		(subject of Chronicles of the Tao)

An ongoing class will be starting in the Boston area (given sufficient interest).

This will no doubt be the last group of students he teaches before retiring
from the world. Classes will be two or three times a week over a period of
three to five years. Areas of instruction will be meditaion, diet, Hsing-I Chuan
(xingyiquan), Pa Kua Chang (baguazhang), T'ai Chi Chuan (taijiquan), sword and
staff, various chi kung (qigong) forms and much more depending on the interest
and needs of the students. Aproximately forty committed students are needed to
support Mr. Kwan's tenure in the Boston area.

The following is a copy of the regional newsletter published soon after Mr.
Kwan's latest visit to the Boston area.

	The mini class on the 12th and 13th of September went well. I want to thank
everyone  for their help in making this happen. I hope everone had fun. There
was some misunderstanding on the first day.  Some people thought that there
was too much material to learn. As Mr. Kwan explained on Sunday, the weekend
was to give students the experence of working with Mr Kwan and to meet him. It
also was to allow him to meet the people that are interested in studying with
Mr Kwan.  It was not a time to learn new techniques...just to experence his
teaching.

	 Some people  have expressed an interest  in  practicing what Mr Kwan showed
us . Then when he returns we will be able to continue rather than starting all
over again.



The next steps to get Mr Kwan into this area:

1.  Form a practice group to continue the exercises......meet once aweek

2.  Find a workspace to meet:                      3 days a week.........?    
                  everyday..............?     (We need someone to take over
this project.)

3.   A  place for Mr Kwan to live:



	Mr Kwan saw a house that he liked in Western Mass . The people in that area
are negotiating the details. Mr Kwan's  stipulations for moving are that a
group of people purchase a house that he can use ( and pay some of the rent ).
He wants to be sure that he has a roof over his head, even if the class
enrollment fluctuates. He is too old to take chances. You must remenber that
Mr Kwan is a practioner of the Tao.  That means he spends his time practicing
, and not writing , creating schools, or engaging in other money making
endeavors. If people are interested in learning he will teach, but he does not
go out looking for students......that is up to us if we want to learn. So he
doesn" t have the money to go out and just buy a house.  If you want to be
involved  in  this or help out financially, you can contact:  Chip Winnard  34
Craigie Ave.Pittsfield, Ma  01201. 



         This is the way things are right now.......if you want  Kwan 
Sai-Hung in this area we have to continue working toward that goal. I need
help to do this.......

	Please contact me : 	Richard Duncan -   617-625-8785 .

... Let's go over the material from Mr Kwan's visit and discuss the process to
get him here - Possibly a workshop in November and then permanently.
