Happiness is the unification of the self. It is the creative expression of the unity of the inner self.
Everything is life, and life is everything. The essence of the material world is life.
We are the creators of life on earth, and we are always creating life.
——Chavalit Frederick Tsao

It was from a chance meditation that Mr. Tsao discovered the energetic nature of matter and gained insight into the evolving nature of life, which enable life to keep creating and reproducing. The energy of evolution comes from consciousness, whose source is nature, love, and a return to an integrated worldview. With this intention, Mr. Tsao founded the East-West Cultural Development Center in Singapore in 1995 to serve as a bridge between the integration of East and West and to promote globalization.

The characters for “Yin” and “Yu” are reflections of each other, the expression of energy fluctuation, and symbolic of the harmony of yin and yang.
When people’s hearts are harmonious, and people and nature are in harmony, we can be free and live the highest state of life.
