Master Moy Lin-shin, a Taoist master, studied Taoism and the internal arts with highly respected teachers in China and Hong Kong for nearly 30 years. Born, Toishan, China, 1931, he dedicated his life to compassion and service to others, inspired by the example of the Bodhisattva Kuan Yin. He integrated his knowledge into a widely accessible set of movements he called Taoist Tai Chi in order to acknowledge the source of his teachings. Shortly after arriving in Toronto, 1970, he founded the Taoist Tai Chi Society to promote health in the community, and then the Fung Loy KokInstitute of Taoism, 1981, to promote Taoist spiritual traditions, and the Gei Pang Lok Hup Academy, 1988, to encourage the study of other Taoist internal arts. These are all non-profit volunteer organizations, totalling over 500 branches in 28 countries worldwide. Master Moy lived a simple life with few worldly possessions. As a teacher, he instilled in his students the fundamental Taoist principle of cultivating both body and spirit; as a healer, he personally assisted countless individuals to recover their health. His efforts to help people of all health conditions culminated in the establishment of the first Taoist Tai Chi Health Recovery Centre at Orangeville, Ontario, 1997, a focal point for research and training in the therapeutic value of the Taoist arts. Master Moy, as viewed in this 1979 photograph taken at the Bathurst Street Club, Toronto, passed away in 1998, but the organizations he founded continue to flourish through the efforts of thousands of volunteers inspired by his life of selfless service.
