Ren Xue Centre

The Ren Xue Centre Australasia is the aspirational home for Ren Xue

Concept designs have been drawn and planning is well underway. There is a team of experts working on making the dream a reality.
As always Yuan Tze is leading with wisdom guidance and encouragement for all those involved.

The Centre

Vision for the Project

  1. At its initial stage, the Centre will be a venue for holding events – programmes covering all stages of life, from childhood and pregnancy to old age, and for specific purposes such as healing.
  2. A focus will be the training of professional teachers.
  3. Later stages will include Ren Xue in its existing disciplines as well as a centre for scientific research, combining medical care, education, and Totality Healing (Yuan Ming).
  4. The Centre will be a prototype for living according to the laws of health and life, and aspires to become a societal model for the future.
  5. The Centre will be sustainable, both financially and environmentally. The land will allow for food production and will have its own sources of water and energy.
  6. The Centre embodies values of simplicity, naturalness, practicality, and health.
  7. The Centre will be non-profit and charitable.
  8. The Centre will be a base from which Ren Xue can reach out to everyone in Australasia and the rest of the world (until other centres are built), as well as a vehicle for Ren Xue to become an effective tool and realise its value.
