Our purpose is to provide a clear path through Ren Xue for people to experience greater health, happiness, sense of wellbeing, realization and wisdom, and a meaningful way to contribute to the world.

Th e Organization

Our vision is a world where all people experience harmony – within their own lives, their personal relationships, society and with nature.

Yuan Tze and his partner and translator Melissa direct the Vision & Content for REN XUE International, and guide the development of Ren Xue and its body of teachings.  They live in New Zealand, but travel and run events regularly all over the world.  Melissa oversees the Teacher Training program.
