Why it matters

Small and steady beats big and rare

Consistency over intensity

A short practice done every day does more than a long one done now and then.

Together is easier

The group holds you on the days you would otherwise skip.

It prepares you for the next step

A daily rhythm helps you get the most from the workshop.

It is service

Practice that heals you also blesses the people around you.

Not sure where to begin? Start with one session a day for a week. A guide can help you build a fuller plan — talk to Dr. Pauline or Shirley.

Forgiveness

At the heart of practice

In Tao teaching, forgiveness is not an add-on. It is a foundational practice for softening the heart and releasing what blocks healing and growth. A few minutes a day is enough to begin.

Read at your own pace

Two free books to begin with

Greatest Love and Greatest Forgiveness are the first two of the Ten Da, and these two books by Dr. and Master Sha are where many of us began. They are simple, practical and written for beginners. Both are free: download them here, or from his official site.

Inside the books

What you will take away

Not sure where to start? Here is what each book is about, the questions it answers, and the ideas most readers carry with them. It is a taste, not the whole meal: the practices, the calligraphy to trace and the stories are in the books themselves. New words along the way? See the glossary.

Greatest Love, in brief

A pocket-sized book about Da Ai (pronounced dah eye), greatest love, which Master Sha describes as love without conditions. It explains why he sees love as the first of the Ten Da, then teaches a simple daily practice of chanting, tracing a Tao Calligraphy and asking for and offering forgiveness, for your health, your feelings, your relationships and the wider world. The subtitle promises 30 minutes a day.

Questions it answers

  • What does “unconditional love” look like in daily life?
  • What are the Ten Da, and where do they come from?
  • How do you trace a Tao Calligraphy, and why with five fingers?
  • Can chanting help other people, and not only me?
10 things to take away
  1. Love first, without conditions. Human love has limits; Da Ai is love that asks for nothing back. The book’s four sacred phrases sum it up: first give greatest love; love unconditionally; love melts challenges; love clears the heart. Chapter 1
  2. Love is the first of ten. Master Sha writes that he received the Ten Da in meditation in 2013, and that everyone already carries these ten qualities within. Each has its own book in the Heart and Soul Series. Chapter 1
  3. Everything is shen qi jing. Soul, heart and mind (shen), energy (qi) and matter (jing). The book teaches that when these are not “joined as one”, we see sickness and struggle. Introduction
  4. Words, thoughts and actions matter. Unkind words, thoughts and deeds come back to us as lessons, and kindness comes back as blessing: in the book’s words, “what goes around comes around.” Chapter 1
  5. What you chant is what you become. Chanting Da Ai, aloud or silently, aligns you with greatest love. The aim is for the chant to “never leave your mouth”, until it becomes a habit. Chapters 1–2
  6. Be patient. Some changes come quickly; heavy blockages take time. The book asks for steady, persistent practice rather than instant results. Chapter 2
  7. Tao Calligraphy is “Oneness writing”. Each character is written in one continuous stroke, in a rare style Master Sha learned from Professor Li Qiu Yun. The book includes a Da Ai calligraphy for you to trace. Chapter 3
  8. Five Power Techniques, used together. Body Power (where you place your hands), Soul Power (“say hello”), Sound Power (chanting), Mind Power (picturing golden light) and Tracing Power. Chapter 4
  9. Ten minutes, three times a day. That is the suggested starting point, with longer practice for serious, long-standing conditions. The book applies it to the back, anger, depression and anxiety, relationships and finances. Chapter 4
  10. Practice is also service. Chanting love for your family, your country and the world is offered as real service, and the book closes with the Love Peace Harmony song. Chapter 5

Try it tonight: sit quietly with a hand on your heart, then chant “Da Ai, Da Ai” or “greatest love” for ten minutes, picturing warm golden light. The book walks you through every step.

Greatest Forgiveness, in brief

A short, practical book about Da Kuan Shu (pronounced dah kwahn shoo), greatest forgiveness: forgiving completely, without conditions or expectations. Master Sha explains why he sees forgiveness as the key to life’s challenges, then gives one practice you can shape to the body, the emotions, relationships and work, with a Tao Calligraphy to trace. Readers from around the world share their stories in the last chapter.

Questions it answers

  • How do I forgive someone who has never said sorry?
  • Why ask forgiveness for things I don’t remember doing?
  • Do I need to believe in past lives for this to help?
  • How do I begin and end a forgiveness practice?
10 things to take away
  1. Forgiveness has two sides. Ask forgiveness for the harm you and your ancestors have done, and offer forgiveness to those who have harmed you and yours. Both matter. Chapter 1
  2. Greatest forgiveness is unconditional. Forgive completely, letting go of anger, revenge, a sense of injustice and fear, without waiting for the other person to apologize. Introduction, Chapter 1
  3. Holding on hurts the one who holds. Resentment and bitterness keep us stuck. The book quotes an old saying: before you set out for revenge, dig two graves. Introduction
  4. You don’t have to share every belief. Master Sha writes that he believes in reincarnation, respects readers who don’t, and says you can still benefit from the practice, because every tradition teaches the need to seek forgiveness. Introduction
  5. A three-line mantra. “I forgive you unconditionally. You forgive me unconditionally. Bring love, peace, and harmony.” It is the heart of every practice in the book. Chapters 1 and 3
  6. Forgiveness brings inner joy and inner peace. This is what Master Sha calls his one-sentence secret about forgiveness. Chapter 2
  7. It comes in layers. Forgiveness is not a one-time act. Practice it in the moment, humbly, like water, and over time it becomes a way of life. Chapter 2
  8. Feelings and the body are linked. Drawing on traditional Chinese medicine’s Five Elements, the book pairs anger with the liver, worry with the spleen, sadness and grief with the lungs, fear with the kidneys, and depression and anxiety with the heart. Chapter 3
  9. Five powers in one sentence each. Where you put your hands, whom you call on, what you picture, what you chant and what you trace: each shapes what you receive. Chapter 3
  10. Close with thanks. End each session with “Hao, hao, hao” (good, perfect, healthy), “Thank you” three times, and “Gong song” three times, a respectful goodbye to those you called on. Chapter 3

Try it tonight: think of one person you are struggling to forgive, and slowly repeat the three-line mantra for ten minutes. Notice how you feel afterwards.
