Fraser Black runs the department of graphic design for a major building society in the North East. He had been practising Taiji and Qigong for four and half years with many teachers, and had in fact been teaching for a year and a half, until he met Ven. Lama Dondrup Dorje, where upon he ceased teaching and became his student.

"On a few occasions, when I have contracted one of the numerous viruses that seem so prevalent these days and am at an extremely low ebb with a high temperature, all I have to do is contact Sifu by phone - more often than it could be counted as coincidence, it was Sifu who contacted me as if he was aware of it all along - he would usually ask me to find somewhere quiet to sit or stand and within four or five minutes, I could feel the ebb and flow of energy moving about me, changing and balancing my own body energy. After a few minutes, my temperature would return to normal, my body felt cool and refreshed and well on the road to recovery. Sifu's energy field has such a unique, magical quality that just being in his presence, be it indoors or outdoors, has a therapeutic empowering effect on everyone. We can't help but notice a sense of calm and well-being infuses the very marrow of our body and we are instantly revitalised."
