Professor You Che-joy

 

  

Imagine a Feng Shui master coming to your house, inspecting it, noting problems and recommending cures for unbalanced energies contained therein. Seems ordinary enough, maybe even a little uneventual - perhaps greeting him at the door, bowing, offering tea, even fantasizing you're part of a pleasant little ceremoney. This is easy to imagine, in fact two of the three Hong Kong Feng Shui masters I'd met were unobstrusive with humble natures.

 
Now, imagine the third master coming to your home, tearing it apart. upending beds, blankets and beddings, ripping pictures from the walls and blowing through your abode with gale force intensity!
 
Then imagine the wirlwind visiting again next week, and the next! Each time I reassembled my shattered "artists garret" just the way it was before. It took me month t realize his "hands on" teaching was forcing me to rearrange my home and my thinking from the ground up.
 
A short biography, excerpted - by Roy Chan of the Ching Shih I Ching Institute 
 
Professor You came from a family of I Ching scholars. They had a very straight law. I Ching could only be passed to one person in each generation. He was chosen by his grandather You Sil-ping. At age three Che joy was taken from his parents to learn I Ching.
 
He never played with kids his own age. Day after day he was orally taught the knowledge his grandfather had to impart. As a constant companion he'd visit old friends of his grandfather who were in their seventies to nineties.
 
At thirteen at his grandfathers urging he left home to travel alone, to visit other provinces testing his skill with I Ching and learning to be strong enough to survive by his wits, build his courage and determination and to make himself unstoppable and unshakable.
 
Che-joy spent 48 years wandering, seeking Tao, He studied without formal training but learning from all manner of men by diligent effort, through hard times and difficult situations until he himself became the Earth Master (his peers say Sky Master).

  Professor Tzu-chiang Chao

 

Mr. Chao my most intellectual influence was formerly a faculty member at Lingnan and Kumin Universites  in Canton China.

 

At the time I knew him he was translating and interpreting the I Ching on a Bollingen Foundation Fellowship and had earlier presented a paper "The Sources of Wang Pi's Exegesses of the Yi Ching" at the 27th  International Congress of Orientalists at the University of Michigan.

 

In 1979 Professor Chao lectured a small dedicated group of us over a period of 8 weeks at the University of San Francisco under the sponsorhip of Brother Jack Graham. The theme being the Parallels between Yi Ching and the Pre-Socratics Greek Philosophers, emphasizing the similarity of the idea systems of Plato, as opposed to Aristotle and Chinese philosophy.

 

Professor Chao wrote A Chinese Garden of Serenity  for Peter Pauper Press, and translated poems of Tu Fu one of China's greatest poets.
