A senior student of Emei Lineage Head, Grandmaster Fu Weizhong, and student of Emei methods since 1985, Devatara Holman is a Certified Master in the Emei Linji Chan Lineage of Chinese Buddhism (now referred to as the Emei Qigong Lineage for the benefit of educating the lay population). She has been granted the privilege of offering these teachings in America and is making them available in our community. Devatara lived in the border region of China and Tibet for seven years during the 1980’s, where she began her study of Buddhist medicine and the integration of medicine and spiritual practices. For the benefit of all sentient beings, Devatara has dedicated her life to increasing awareness of the great benefits of Buddhist medicine and the wisdom of the Emei Linji Chan Lineage.
