He was a council member of the Fourth World Academic Society of Medical Qigong and from 1993-1999 was the director of the Qigong Science Research Institute of Guangzhou University in China.After intensively studying ancient Chinese ways of preserving health, in 1990 Master Ou, in order to enable practitioners to absorb the life force of the universe and to temper and improve their own life force and immune systems, created Pan Mystical Qigong, based on the physiology of the human body and the miraculous relationship between man and nature.  Since then, Pan Gu Mystical Qigong has successfully treated many patients with ailments such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, apoplexy, lupus erythematosus, and others.Master Ou has also expended much effort in applying Pan Gu Mystical Qigong toward scientific research.
