Master Sha’s early humanitarian efforts

Since he was a young boy, Master Sha was always concerned about the health and well-being of his family and neighbors. After medical school while studying public health, he offered a free street clinic to offer acupuncture to anyone in need.

Today, he is a world-renowned humanitarian, Tao Grand Master, healer, best-selling author, and inspiring teacher. In 2006, Master Sha was the recipient of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Commemorative Commission Award for his outstanding work in promoting peace and healing.

In 2004, Master Sha received a song entitled Love, Peace and Harmony that he shares with people all over the world to heal and bring humanity together. He founded the Love Peace Harmony Foundation in 2006 to spread this message and to help people live happier and healthier lives. The Love Peace Harmony Foundation leads humanitarian projects worldwide. Some of these projects include:
