Each day we discover new wonders because of the ease by which information may be communicated, such as by television, radio and the Internet, and we can be in instant contact with our friends anywhere in the world. During this century, for example, as science bridges new thresholds, man has landed on the moon, advanced technology has allowed us to explore historic remains such as the wreck of the Titanic, while genetic flaws may now be analyzed through DNA testing. We live in a world of constant change, and yet there are many mysteries we need to understand, such as the pyramids of Egypt, and there is still much research that has to be done with regard to understanding the human body, mankind's illnesses and death, as well as the science of life itself. Our present era is also a time of peace as well as war, where good and evil coexist. As the world of science develops, the pressures of everyday life also build, whether related to agricultural or industrial economics, or the constant pursuit of knowledge, which in turn is causing people to search for a way to achieve and maintain better physical and mental health.
People aspire to social and environmental harmony in their quest for inner peace.
In other words, a positive and effective quality of life that is meaningful is more important today than ever before. For this we thank Dr. Yan Xin, as the representative of these ancient techniques, and whose teachings have given us such a wonderful opportunity. In its beneficence, Yan Xin Qigong is most traditional and shows it belongs to the world and all mankind. Yan Xin Qigong Cultural Centre has been in existence for six years, and we consider ourselves very fortunate to have developed and flourished in an atmosphere of Canadian multiculturalism, and we expect to continue to do so. In the past six years, our Centre has received forty thousand visits from Qigong practitioners and provided four hundred thousand hours of free group practice.
