In 1947, Senior Grand Master Chang came to Taiwan from mainland China. His goal was to establish I-Kuan Tao on the island. This was a difficult mission with many obstacles, not the least of which was government oppression in the 1960s. In his extraordinary efforts to overcome these hurdles, the Senior Grand Master took on numerous tasks. This sometimes caused him to go without sleep, even for several days at a time.

Today, well into his eighties, the Senior Grand Master still keeps as busy as ever, tending to the vast I-Kuan Tao organization and visiting temples all over the world. To all you Tao brothers and sisters visiting this web site, he would like to share the following words of inspiration:

	Lift up your clear bright thoughts To illuminate your destiny Lift up your spiritual conceptions To transcend your life Lift up your joyous heart To wash away the dusts of anxiety
