My name is Dr. Perry Lau and I live near Yellowstone Park in Southwestern
Montana, right off interstate 90, in Livingston, close to the Yellowstone
River. It's a very beautiful, natural, pristine, picturesque, country
environment, which attracts thousands of tourists, especially in the summer
months.
It's very quiet and peaceful here, and the air and water are clean. Crime is
practically non-existent. Most people are very friendly, and wave to each other
as they commute around the local area. I have many friends in this area, of

about a 50 mile radius, some that I have known for 15-20 years. All this is to
preface why I choose to live here right now – rather than living in a big city
near a HoChi center.
I'm a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, and I have been licensed in
California and Montana for about 10 years now. I've been studying with Master Chou
since I was initiated by him in April of 1993, while I was studying Chinese
Medicine in San Diego, California.
Master Chou came to the
acupuncture school I was
attending, to give an
introductory presentation
for students who might be
interested in studying with
him.
I had seen Master Chou a few days before
this presentation, when he came to meet the head of the school. I knew as soon
as I saw him that I wanted to study with him.
When I met him, I felt something deep inside my being that resonated with
Master Chou and his presence – a sense of peace, joy and harmony beyond words. I
felt like I had known him before, in a previous lifetime.
During the lunch break of the introductory session, all my classmates left to
get lunch at local restaurants. I stayed, because I was hoping to talk with
Master Chou foe awhile. Food was the last thing I was interested in at that time.
Unexpectedly, Master Chou invited me to eat with him, and share his lunch.
I felt very honored, and grateful, for his kindness and generosity. I was so
excited, and I wasn't very hungry. I just wanted to spend some private time
with Master Chou, to get to know him better, and hear more of his teaching.
After lunch, before the other students returned, Master Chou invited me to observe
while he initiated a new student in another room at the school. There were also
some of his previously initiated students, doing practice in the same room. I
again felt honored, and of course, curious to witness the initiation I was
eagerly anticipating.
I sat on the side of the room, as Master Chou began to prepare the student for
initiation. Master Chou was instructing him, how to position himself in a standing
posture, and what he might experience. After a short time, Master Chou motioned to
me to come closer, and stopped me at a certain distance from the new initiate.
Master Chou asked me if I could see anything coming from the initiate. The question
took me by surprise, but I felt very calm next to Master Chou.
