joeblast Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) /\ Â /\ Â /\ Â Â Â Â http://focustaiwan.t...00018&Type=aPPL Â Hong Kong, Sept. 30 (CNA) A noted scholar and prominent writer who came to Taiwan in 1949 but lived in China for the latter part of his life, died Saturday in Suzhou, in China's Jiangsu Province, at the age of 94, an anonymous source said Sunday. Â The source told CNA that staff at the Taihu Great Learning Center in Suzhou said that Nan Huai-chin, whose multi-disciplinary knowledge had earned him the title of master scholar, had died. The school was founded by Nan in 2006. Â School authorities declined to comment. Â Nan was admitted to a hospital early this month suffering from pneumonia that was triggered by a bout of flu. The school issued a statement Sept. 20 that said Nan was ill, that he needed rest and that he did not want to be disturbed. Â Various China-based media also reported Nan's death. Â Born in Zhejiang Province in 1918, Nan came to Taiwan in 1949 and taught at National Chengchi University, Chinese Culture University and Fu Jen Catholic University. He moved to the United States in the mid- 1980s when former President Chiang Ching-kuo reportedly suspected him of possibly becoming the leader of a political group. He later moved to Hong Kong, until he returned to China in 2004. Â With his mastery of Buddhist traditions, Confucian and Taoist theories and practices, Nan was influential among academic, business and political dignitaries in both Taiwan and China. Â Chiang Su-hui, chairwoman of the Hong Kong-based CS Culture Foundation and a student of Nan, said his death is a loss for the country. Â She said Nan was so influential that former Chinese President Jiang Zemin also likes to read his works. Â A diplomat stationed in Hong Kong from another Asian country who declined to be named said that although Nan remained low-profile when he lived in Hong Kong, his influence spread across the academic and business fields in Taiwan, Hong Kong and China.

glovemtb Posted October 3, 2012 (edited) The passing of Master Nan: Something was going, on various signs last week. I kept Master Nan's Wiki page open to get around to re-reading since the middle of last week, (had not seen that in years.) Then Thursday night I was meditating on the mountain under a full moon lit, clear sky and it got cloudy in about 5 minutes and a cloud appeared behind me and started completely silent strobe lightning, bathing me in...well strobe light. "Tao and Longevity" was a great influence on my Qigong/Neidan practice over the years...while Dr. Luk's translation of Master Zhao/Chao Pi Chen's Taoist Yoga was the bible; Tao & Longevity put much in terms i could understand and was treasured reading and influence. I read several times over the last 20 years or so. Rest in peace Master Nan. Edited October 4, 2012 by glovemtb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
