REN XUE Africa
Teaching Yuan Qigong in South Africa
REN XUE is a modern Wisdom cultivation system that integrates tried and tested Wisdom teachings from Chinese culture (including Daoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism), Qigong, Traditional Chinese Medicine, anatomy, and modern science. It was designed with a clear goal in mind: making it easier for 21st Century people to live more aligned with the Laws of Nature (also called the Laws of the Universe or Dao). In doing this, greater inner and outer harmony begins to naturally arise.
Through Wisdom-based theories, principles, and methods, safe and efficient progress can be made towards improved health, happiness, and growth of one’s consciousness in the direction of Realisation and Wisdom.
REN XUE International was founded by Yuan Tze in New Zealand in 2002 and has since developed into a thriving, global, non-profit organisation represented in more than 23 countries, on 6 continents, with around 800 professionally trained teachers committed to “Uplifting themselves; Uplifting others”, the Ren Xue mission statement. Our South African region, in 2025, has a community of ten teachers, either actively enrolled and studying, or qualified at different levels within the six–level, Teacher Training programme. Some of these people choose to teach, and some choose to study for their personal growth in Wisdom cultivation. Those who are currently teaching are listed on our Teachers page. Our ever-growing community of dedicated students can be found in the main centres, quietly engaged in daily practice.
We are open to opportunities to expand beyond our South African borders and share the gift of REN XUE more broadly.

5. Let the bright universe to nurture your heart with compassion and Love.

Yuan Tze
Founder of REN XUE Yuan Qigong & Yuan Ming
Yuan Tze is the Dao-hao, the life cultivation name of Bin Liu, who was born in 1962, in an ancient port town in Jiangsu province, on the east coast of China. Yuan Tze was exposed to and influenced by traditional Chinese wisdom culture from 6 months of age through early childhood under the care of a monk who saved his life.
His time in a monastery was interrupted by the intense political turmoil in China at the time but in his teenage years he began training seriously under the influence of many respected teachers and masters in their fields. This continued throughout his life and through dedicated application, he distilled profound knowledge and expertise in Qigong, TCM, martial arts, Tai Chi, and the Wisdom philosophies of the East. His piercing, objective analysis of the problems humanity faces, both at the individual and societal level, drove him to the fundamental issues that need to be addressed, rather than superficial panaceas. It is his grave prediction that if humanity does not with haste change its current trajectory through each person realising their True Nature, great harm will continue to be perpetrated: human to human, human to Nature, and towards the planet.
REN XUE, the overarching system he developed, offers a clear, step-by-step process, through nine methods of Yuan Qigong, to address this undoubtedly serious situation.
