Greetings. My name is Ron Teeguarden. I am also known as Dan-O Sun Sha. Dan means “Elixir of Life,” O means “Spiritual Enlightenment” and Sun Sha means “Master.” This is the name I was given by Taoist Grand Master Sung Jin Park the day he proclaimed me to be a Taoist Master. Thirty seven years ago I took an oath to Master Park that I would dedicate my life to spreading Taoism. He instructed me “Do not be a healer, be the light.” I have taken Tonic Herbalism as my primary vehicle for teaching Taoism. I have dedicated all these years to learning and spreading the knowledge and wisdom of the great tonic herbs to my friends and students around the world. I have been very fortunate to have had some success at my task but I humbly submit that I have a lot more to do. I sit before the God of Truth. This blog has been created to help spread the truth about Tonic Herbalism and the Taoist teachings in which “the superior herbalism” is rooted. Please take the opportunity to study the herbs very deeply. Use them every day as though they are your meditation. They are the direct expression of Tao.
