My Journey with the I Ching ~ Exploring Ancient Truths, Embracing Lifelong Learning
My journey with the I Ching began when I was just 8 or 9 years old, thanks to my “uncle” Bob, who was more like a second father to me. He owned a copy of the Richard Wilhelm translation and had a set of long, elegant wooden sticks that immediately captured my attention. Bob patiently taught me how to cast the sticks and interpret their meanings. From that very first encounter, I was captivated by the wisdom and mystery of this ancient oracle.
In the early 2000s, my fascination with the I Ching deepened under the guidance of my Daoist teacher, Liu Ming. As he worked on translating his version of the I Ching, CHANGING: Zhouyi: The Heart of the Yijing, he generously shared his insights on the history, philosophy, and practical applications of this profound tool. Those teachings opened up new dimensions of understanding and inspired me to cultivate a lifelong relationship with the hexagrams.
Over the past two decades, my engagement with the I Ching has been a journey of continuous learning and transformation. I have come to appreciate that one never truly becomes a master of this ancient divination tool—rather, one remains a humble and devoted student, always open to its evolving lessons.
As a guide and teacher, it is my honor to share this living tradition with students who are ready to explore its wisdom. Together, we will dance with the divine trigrams of truth, uncovering insights that can illuminate both our inner worlds and the ever-changing landscape of life.
My approach emphasizes respect for the I Ching’s rich lineage while fostering a personal, intuitive connection with its teachings. Let us journey together with curiosity, reverence, and openness to the unfolding wisdom of this timeless oracle.
