On 24 September 2010 the Dutch and Belgium students did their Jin Gui Yao Lüe exam.
This is also their preparation for the final exam at the Shandong University of TCM (SDUTCM) in Jinan (P.R. China) in October 2010.
The exam at the
SDUTCM will last 2 days and the exam committee consists of prof. dr. Wang Xinlu, prof. dr. Jiang Jianguo, prof. dr. Tao Hanhua and prof. dr. Li Jie.
An opportunity of a lifetime. The last time that the exam committee consisting of the great experts will be together.
We'll keep you informed!
05 March 2010, Amersfoort, the Netherlands.
The first Shang Han Lun Master Level Examination outside Asia was a great success.
For two years, 21 students have studied the Shang Han Lun with great devotion and in much detail.
They have studied the Shang Han Lun step by step, line by line. Trying to understand the deeper meaning of this complex Chinese text and discovering today's clinical applications.
Eleven students participated in the exam on March 5.
According to our Chinese professors (prof. dr. Wang Xinlu, prof. dr. Jiang Jianguo, prof. dr. Tao Hanhua) it is the first time ever that a group outside Asia studied the Shang Han Lun with such devotion and in such great detail.
They are very happy to meet the students for their final exam and debate in October 2010 at the Shandong University of TCM.
The whole story with pictures can be found here.
On April 16th 2009, the First European Practical Shang Han Lun and Jin Gui Yao Lüe Diploma Course started with an official opening at the Silver Tower in Amsterdam.
This really is a milestone for TCM in Europe. For the first time in history the foundation of TCM will be studied in-depth for today's clinical application.
Students from different countries will work together for many days on this course about the most important clinical TCM classical text.
In October 2010 they will participate in an exam at the Shandong University of TCM (Jinan, China).

We also received a poem from prof. dr. Wang Xinlu - president of the Shandong University of TCM - on the same day. This poem was especially written for the opening of this course. We are very proud of this!
This poem is: "Wu Dao Feng De". The meaning is very profound and difficult to translate exactly. We can translate it as follows: "to understand Dao with the Heart and to cultivate Virtue in life."
Furthermore, we received many congratulations from experts in the field like: Elisabeth Rochat de la Vallée, Peter Deadman, Mazin Al-Khafaji, prof. Wang Weixiang, Robin Tiberi, and Alex Tiberi.
Thank you for your support! |
