History 

Personal History:  He was born near Hunan, China, as was accepted into the Shao-lin monastery at the age of six. He was almost 20 when the Hunan temple was destroyed during the persecution by the Manchu dynasty. Lao Awoke to everything he had been trained to when the Manchu troops attacked the Hunan temple, massacred almost all the monks. Seeing many of his masters slaughtered shook him enough to realize what was within him. He took shelter with a Taoist couple and learned more of the Way from another viewpoint.

Lao ultimately left China and travelled extensively. Ultimately reaching England, he drowned himself in education, earning an Oxford MA and D. Phil. He has taught Eastern philosophy and religion while developing himself consistent with Taoist philosophy. After a long period teaching and writing 7 books on Eastern thought, Lao has moved to Little Totterington, having detected the Dragon's Veins (lei lines)
