Dr. Hong met with Pope Benedict XVI in St. Peter's Square in the Vatican.

When you share love and peace in this way, will the world become peaceful?

For a long time, Dr. Hong Tao-Tze, the Grand master of Tai Ji Men Qigong Academy, has led his disciples to the United Nations and around the world to spread the seeds of peace, and he often encountered such questions from others. One of the disciples, Fabienne Jen mentioned, When the NGO volunteers saw that the younger generation of Tai Ji Men still carried on the same spirit, with more people involved and more successful activities, they no longer had doubt. “These angels of peace is the best answer!”. Fabienne witnessed many historical moments, including Dr. Hong's meetings with Pope Benedict XVI, the Dalai Lama, and former UN Secretary General Annan, and she was moved by each of them. In 2005, Dr. Hong met with Pope Benedict XVI in St. Peter's Square in the Vatican. "In the Vatican, Dr. Hong held the Pope's hand and said, 'Without love there is no peace; peace needs love, love needs balance.’”. Through Dr.Hong’s meetings with the Pope and with leaders from all over the world, Fabienne realized that her master had efficiently transmitted the wisdom of yin and yang from the East to the West.
