About this Event

Two events:
  • 10 - 10:40 am: ceremony at the Lamar Track on top of the Port Hills if fine, or the Peace Bell at the Christchurch Botanical Gardens if wet. Location will be confirmed and 24 hours prior.

  • 2 - 4 pm: talk and Qi healing at Hohepa Hall, 23 Barrington St.


Every year, on the first Sunday in October, the global Ren Xue community gathers

together in a very special Qifield to celebrate Ren Xue Global Awakening Day.

All over the world, Ren Xue friends, teachers and practitioners find a special place,

ideally on a quiet place on a hilltop, to reflect and set intentions for the year to come.

This year, Yuan Tze, the founder of Ren Xue, will be leading both events in Christchurch

to celebrate Global Awakening Day with us. You are invited to join us for these free

special events.


WHY GLOBAL AWAKENING DAY?


The world we are living in is facing grave challenges. Crises of all sorts are threatening

the survival of many species, including our own. Problems are rampant, causing pain,

suffering and chaos to individuals and society as a whole. Humanity is at a crossroads

and the direction we take determines the future for all. This is the choice between

continuing down the same direction and opening to a way out. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if

every human being lived their full potential, manifesting the true qualities of a human

life? Wouldn’t it be wonderful if all species could live together in a way that is all-

enhancing? All of this is possible but will require every one of us to make a genuine effort

to learn and do the real work. Let’s start with working on ourselves and use this

opportunity to build the Qifield to encourage everyone to do the same.


WHAT IS AWAKENING?


In Ren Xue awakening has two meanings. One is awakening to the reality that life is run

by all kinds of unhealthy patterns (thoughts, behaviours, emotions) and is lost in the

confusion and problems caused by them. When these unhealthy patterns are

transformed, and the problems are cleared, one will gain clarity. This experience can feel

like waking up from a long sleep.

The other layer of meaning refers to the state after the True Self manifests. Being in a state of pure awareness is awakening in a true sense.

You can watch this 23 minute free documentary about Yuan Tze's journey to enlightenment.
