We hope that you will find this site to be interesting and informative, and will use it as a starting point for learning more about the Pa Kua Chang of Lu Shui-Tian. Where appropriate, this is good. Master Park does not take this lightly and is very exact in his use of this term specifically as it relates to Pa Kua Chang. In the strictest sense, a principle is defined as a fundamental truth or law of nature. A true principle is not an artificial fabrication.
True principles derive from a critical and comprehensive study of nature and the physical universe.
This includes the study of matter, energy, life, their relationships, their interrelationships, and their transformations. Valid principles comprise a set of fundamental truths that have been identified based on careful, detailed, and lengthy analysis. They have developed over years, decades, or even centuries of research. They have stood the test of time and are subject to repeatable verification by observation, experience, or experiment. They comprise a coherent body of empirical knowledge, a science and a philosophy.
