In English: We cordially invite you to our next Oral History event with Dr. Alexander Feng, on March 23, 2104, 2:00 p.m. at the Taoist Center in Oakland. Dr. Feng was immersed in Daoism from childhood through his father's teachings and was taught languages, culture and music by his mother. He was trained by his father, Dr. Wei Ren Feng, a well-known scholar and spiritual leader who is descended from a long lineage of Daoist philosophers, scholars and healers. The elder Dr. Feng, Grand Master Feng, and his extensive lineage of masters tutored Master Alexander Feng who was ordained in the family tradition of Zhi Daoism in the 1970s. His mother, Elizabeth was a linguist and a healer who worked as a docent for Chinese cultural sites. This event is jointly presented by, and takes place at, the Taoist Center, which is located at 3824 MacArthur Avenue, Oakland 94619. Please reserve a space as soon as possible.
