Celebrating the Medicine King’s Birthday with Wellness and Joy: Fungsui Culture Promotes Push-Hands Practice for Cultivating Both Body and Mind

Integrating "Seer Onnet" Philosophy into Daily Life - Over 100 Devotees Witness Harmonious Balance of Body and Spirit
(June 15, 2026, Hong Kong) – On the 28th day of the fourth lunar month, marking the birthday of the Medicine King, Fungsui Culture hosted a series of activities centered on wellness, mental cultivation, and mutual support at its Lai Chi Kok Road hall. The event drew over 40 senior practitioners and devotees in person, collectively exploring the Taoist wisdom of "treating illness before it arises". The activities successfully integrated the philosophy of Seer Onnet, guiding participants to become aware of themselves, flow between movement and stillness, and align with nature – demonstrating the practical value of traditional culture in modern life.

On the event day, Registered Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner Master Shan Yat (Class 24) and his assistants led the group in paired push-hands exercises. Pushing hands is not only a physical fitness activity but also a discipline for training the mind. By sensing and meeting their partner’s force, participants experienced how to "go with the flow, do not give rise to delusions, and the highest goodness is like water, which benefits all things" when facing challenges. Due to rain, the scheduled group practice and team competitions, originally planned for the playground next to the hall, were moved indoors, but the spirits remained high. The hall specially created event sign holder reading "the highest goodness is like water" and "the mind gives rise to delusions" for on-the-spot scoring as participants observed paired dynamics, adding a playful touch. Attendees also wrote prayer tags for health and family well-being, embodying the Seer Onnet practice of "knowing, protecting, and nurturing life."
The evening program was equally vibrant. After the evening session, over 50 senior practitioners and devotees took part in a sachet-making activity. Following Master Shan Yat’s recommended herbal formulas, participants crafted personalized sachets for the Dragon Boat Festival, heat relief, mental refreshment, appetite stimulation, and the most popular liver-soothing and mood-easing blends. Everyone personally selected, pounded, and filled herbs to their preferred proportions. Meanwhile, some prepared yellow paper for writing phrases such as "May negative influences dissipate, and pests and vermin vanish." The yellow paper and sachets were then dried during the Dragon Boat Festival to continue the traditional wisdom. Fungsui Culture also produced an extra batch of sachets, which can be collected by fellow practitioners at the Lai Chi Kok Road hall. The quantity is limited and will be distributed while supplies last.

Continuing the spirit of mutual support, Fungsui Culture successfully held Phase Two of its "Return to Rightful Owners" Charity Shop from May 15–18 at Tai Wo Hau Estate. Volunteers arrived days early to sort items, assemble clothing racks, and transform classrooms into boutique-style shops. Kindergarten students also joined as junior volunteers, making price tags of different denominations, distributing flyers in the neighborhood, and helping maintain order. Grassroots neighborhoods could not only take a designated number of free clothing items but also exchange goods through bartering, for instance, bringing clean plastic bottles to earn extra exchange points.
Since the school was teaching about money concepts, students took turns playing shopkeeper and customer, first "working" to earn vouchers, then using points to buy toys, stuffed animals, and more. The event resembled a large-scale "toy library" activity, with children from underprivileged families receiving gift bags, and everyone leaving with a full bag. Parents shared videos of their children's delight with their "new toys." Adult volunteers acted as "shopping guides," offering advice to residents, inviting them to try on clothes and choose colors. Despite rain, the volunteer enthusiasm never wavered, with constant restocking. The event attracted nearly 400 visits, and two-thirds of the recycled items successfully given to those who were meant to receive them.

Fungsui Culture expressed deep appreciation to all participants for leading by example, giving idle items a second life by "returning to their rightful owners." Through the awareness cultivated by Seer Onnet and the practice of Taoist wellness philosophy, everyone not only learned to coexist harmoniously with nature but also brought support and care to grassroots communities, bringing people closer and adding warmth to environmental action.
Fungsui Culture is dedicated to promoting Taoist culture, wellness practices, and community mutual aid, integrating traditional wisdom with modern living. It advocates a philosophy of "treating illness before it arises" and going with the natural flow of life.
