Joan He
Joan He is our young Integral Taichi instructor who has founded Compassionate Service Society France (CompaSS France) in 2008.
In 1994 he was specially trained as a young Buddhist novice monk, to absorb the deepest principles of the Avatamsaka Sutra and the Great Compassion Dharani teaching.
Since 2000, as a young layman, he has tirelessly promoted the teaching of Buddhism in the form of Integral Taichi and integral Meditation. In 2013, Joan consummated his effort into integral Taichi Global, and built a community of integral Taichi of over 600 teachers all over the world, including USA, Canada, France, Germany, Holland, Hungary, Taiwan, and Vietnam.
Parallel to the effort of building the Taichi community, Joan lead the effort of building a sangha of short-term monks and nuns. This sangha reflects the need to experience deep spirituality without forfeiting the family responsibility and the complex life of a laity. Joan represents a young, practical model of Bodhisattva in the 21st century.
