Mrs Wenci Li believes in living a life in a state of balance and harmony with our mind and bodies, whether it be practicing Tai Chi and Yoga, eating properly, and making use of TCM and Chinese philosophy as a way of living. Chinese culture and medicine are linked to the three main philosophical schools in Chinese history.
“Buddhism focuses on practicing and developing a superior state of mind. In Confucianism the pursuit lies in leading a virtuous life with ethical behavior. For Taoists, the focus rests on how to live in a purely natural way. The word Tao literally means “way, path, truth, view of nature”.
The three schools have different approaches and focus points but share the common goal of reaching a state of harmony and happiness: not illusive but real and sustainable harmony and happiness.” https://diplomatmagazine.eu/2015/12/05/22380/
