Embrace the Dao: A Journey of Service and Wisdom
Discover how ancient Daoist teachings are transforming modern lives through education, compassion, and community engagement.
Our Story: From Personal Cultivation to Public Service
The Australian Dao Academy emerged from the profound journey of Wuxuan Liu, a modern Daoist priest dedicated to sharing the wisdom of Daoism with the world. Born in Shanxi Province, China, Liu’s path began with the practice of Xingyi Quan martial arts, which led to a deeper exploration of Daoist philosophy and cosmology. Under the guidance of Zhengyi masters, he embraced the Daoist name Jiuchen and committed to a life of service, founding the Academy in Australia to make these teachings accessible to all. Our mission is to integrate ancient wisdom into modern society through education, health practices, and cultural preservation.
