After engaging in extended periods of meditation and ascetic practices between 1976 and 1984, in order to benefit others, Master Hsin Tao began to teach meditation.
Under Master Hsin Tao’s guidance, Ling Jiou Mountain teaches “nine-minute meditation,” a daily meditation practice for lay people, and holds weekly sessions of “tranquility meditation,” monthly sessions of “cloud-water meditation,” and several seven-day retreats throughout the year. The “Global Inner Peace Movement” is a related undertaking which promotes the integration of meditation and everyday life.

Cloud-water meditation is taught at one-, three-, and seven-day retreats. Participants undertake a fast, only ingesting fruit and vegetable juice as a way of reducing the body’s requirements and increasing one’s concentration.
