The Living Lineage of the Universal Healing Tao
Their role is to ensure the Universal Healing Tao system can be shared across cultures and languages, making it accessible to students everywhere. Each senior instructor brings unique expertise while carrying forward Master Chia’s vision: to preserve and transmit the Taoist way of cultivating vitality, harmony, and inner transformation for generations to come.
The Universal Healing Tao (UHT) system was created by Tao Grandmaster Mantak Chia as a complete map for physical health, emotional balance, and spiritual growth. Rooted in ancient Taoist traditions and adapted for the modern world, the system integrates qigong, meditation, Taoist healing arts, sexual alchemy, and inner alchemy into one accessible path.

For over 50 years, Grandmaster Chia has taught at Tao Garden Health Resort in Thailand, the central training center he founded to transmit his system worldwide. Among the thousands of certified instructors he has trained, Master Chia selected a circle of Senior Instructors — trusted, highly experienced teachers who act as ambassadors of his legacy.
