The Value of Direct Transmission
When Learning the Wisdom of Master Tung

Real knowledge sometime can’t be received from books; it is through direct transmission that knowledge and techniques can be received. This requires being with the teacher and experiencing that person through observation and guided practice. Thus the subtle qualities of the senior practitioner can be received. Learning requires descriptions and shared discussion, but the highest level moves from heart to heart.
 

This is the third(See Past Seminars)complete course of Tung’s Acupuncture offered in the America endorsed by the World Association of Tung’s Acupuncture and will be taught by Dr. Wei-Chieh Young himself.  Dr. Young will combine years of experiences from Master Tung and himself with lots of case studies, and will also supplement Chinese medicine theories in explaining Tung’s Acupuncture. The goals of this course are to enable the attendants to locate the Tung's points correctly and learn the theories, applications, and general therapeutics well in a short time.

Dr. Wei-Chieh Young is one of few (only 6) Tung’s direct disciples who hold Chinese medical license in Taiwan. (Pass rate merely 2/100 on licensure examination). He has been practicing Chinese medicine for nearly forty years without cessation, and is an expert in Nei Jing, Yi Jing and Shang Han Lun.   He is a world famous author, particularly in Asia with many popular books in the fields of Chinese medicine, acupuncture, Nei Jing, and Yi Jing.  He is also the first Chinese medical doctor to introduce Tung’s Acupuncture to the world and has nearly forty years of teaching experience in Tung’s Acupuncture and 14 channels.

The Advanced Tung’s Acupuncture classes will be held in October 10, 11, 12 13 , 2008. This classes focused on: Advanced teaching of theories and special clinical applications; Tung’s bleeding method (special treatment for hard and difficult diseases); case studies on Tung’s Acupuncture (including Master Tung and Dr. Wei Chieh Young’s case studies); Tung’s palm diagnosis (palm assessment); Tung’s Acupuncture combination points. Upon completion of the classes, students will be able to use an average of 4 or less needles in combination of points to treat many diseases.

Lectures given in 2007

 On October 14, 2007, Dr. Wei-Chieh Young was invited to give a one-day lecture on “Commonly used Tung’s Acupuncture points” in Phoenix, AZ.  While having lunch with the president of Arizona acupuncture board and other Chinese medical doctors, the topic of “medical insurance issues” was discussed.

 The lecture was given in Chinese because Arizona State only has 30 + Chinese acupuncturists, and 20 + practitioners were present at the lecture. After the demonstration of Tung’s Acupuncture technique, the practitioners thought this was the most practical lecture they have attended.

 

 From mid-August to September 2007, went to central Asia -Kyrgystan for volunteer clinic treatments for the locals. Daily patients load were about 60 with great results. Former Soviet students of Dr.Young were there to assist in translating Russian and to help stimulating and removing needles. After a hard day of clinic work, Dr. Young also gave lectures to the local practitioners on Tung’s Acupuncture so they can continue to help patients in the future.

 On the returning journey back home, Dr. Young had a chance to do some sightseeing in Wu Lu Mu Qi and Tu Lu Fan. The beauty of Xin Jiang and the prosperity of Wu Lu Mu Qi had left a deep impression with Dr. Young.

 

 July 14 to 16, 2007 (Friday, Saturday & Sunday), Dr. Young was invited to give a 3-day lecture series at the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine, Portland, OR. The class was limited to the students in the Doctorate program of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine.

The lectures including: Chinese medicine and acupuncture treatments for geriatric illnesses, commonly used Tung’s Acupuncture points; and Dr. Young’s special clinical experiences with the Five-Shu points. There was a demonstration treatment for a patient during the class. The lectures were welcomed by the students and they thought the lectures were wonderful.

 

 Mid-May 2007, Dr. Young went to Mainland China for medical exchange tour.

 

 May 27, 2007, Dr. Young was invited to give a lecture to the members of Southern Chinese Medical Association in Los Angeles. The topics including: Kidney infection, urinary tract infection, kidney stones, nocturnal emission, and uremia, etc. Dr. Young has a lot of clinical case studies, and he introduced his clinical experiences with acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine to the class.

 

 Feb 4th and 5th , 2007 (Sunday and Monday), Dr. Wei-Chieh Young was invited by the Doctorate program of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (DAOM) of Five Branches Institute in San Jose to deliver a seminar called “Tung’s Acupuncture Points On Pain Management”. Upon opening to the public, the seminar booked quickly and filled up 10 days before it was scheduled to begin. Several loyal practitioners follow Dr. Young wherever he speaks. The seminar opened with an overview of Tung’s Pain Management. This encompassed the etiology and the principle of the Pain Syndrome including the differentiation patterns such as: (1) Bu Tong Ze Tong (blockage causing pain) (2) Bu Rong Ze Tong (deficiency causing pain) (3) Bu Song Ze Tong (tension causing pain). Regarding the therapy and point selection, Dr. Young emphasized the chronological view of the pain (acute or chronic) and the dimensional view of the pain (the pain location and point selection). In this seminar, he highlighted the clinical application of the Five Shu Point, Microsystem Correspondences (body correspondences and holographic correspondence) and Zhang Fu Bei Tong (Zhang Fu extra relationship). Most of the practitioners found this new information exciting and practical for their clinical use. In the specific pain syndrome, Dr. Young explained in great detail about Tung’s point selection and its theory and made a comparison with the effective points of the 14 channels. Therefore, the practitioners can efficiently grasp the most effective treatment points, not only from Tung’s system but also from the 14 channels, when treating pain syndromes. On the afternoon of the second day of seminar, the school arranged for 6 patients to demonstrate Dr. Young’s treatment techniques. Dr. Young was able to discuss the patient’s chief complains by using his unique palm diagnosis without questioning the patient. All the practitioners in the class were amazed. They made a request to the school to invite Dr. Young to teach palm diagnosis next time. During the demonstration, Dr. Young applied the bleeding techniques on 4 different patients by bleeding Erjian (the apex of the auricle) , Taiyang, Wuling (DT.04) and UB40 to let the practitioners have some ideas about the bleeding techniques’ application. When the seminar ended, all of the practitioners rose to give a big round of applause to Dr. Young to show their gratitude on the very rewarding lecture.

 


 

(1)   Applying the theory of six meridians' opening, closing, and pivot to Zhang Fu Bei Tong. Taiyang and Taiyin are opening; Shaoyang and Shaoyin are pivot; Yangming and Jueyin are closing.

(2)   Body Tissue Correspondence Needling Method: Bone to Bone (needling close to bone treat bone problem); Tendon to Tendon; Vessel to Vessel; Muscle to Muscle; Skin to Skin.

(3)   The relationship between Master Tung's Acupuncture and the 14 orthodox meridians (traditional acupuncture).  The area between two meridians could be used to treat a disease related to both meridians; point between two orthodox points will have similar effect.

(1)   The importance of needle depth in Master Tung's Acupuncture.   Needle depth critically affects the treatment effects and scopes.

(2)   The importance of retaining needles.  Generally speaking, needles are retained for 45 minutes in Master Tung's Acupuncture.   Dr. Young referenced two passages from Ling Shu and concluded that it takes average 28 minutes and 48 seconds for energy to circle meridians.   To make it round and to match the fast pace of modern life, needles are retained for 30 minutes in general, unless for chronic or special cases in which needles are retained for 45 minutes or longer.

(3)   The importance of correspondences.  There are 8 correspondences in Master Tung's Acupuncture.

(4)   Master Tung's Acupuncture is in accord with Quan Xi (Bio-Holographic) Theory.  It coincides with Dr. Zhang Ying Qing's 2nd metacarpal bone diagnosis & therapy.

(5)   Master Tung's Acupuncture is in accord with orthodox acupuncture (traditional acupuncture).  This includes the application of point selection with "Following the Channel" (along its own meridian), "Biao Li Channel" (exterior/interior channel relationship), and "Tong Ming Channel" (hand and foot same channel name relationship).
