Master Thien Duyen – Biography

Master Thien Duyen. Born in 1965.
Oriental martial arts attracted him since childhood. There was something so appealing in the mysterious, closed Asia; something so enchanting for a child’s imagination in the flying warriors from the old engravings. He sought for materials himself, searched in the libraries, putting together bits and pieces found by accident, something he could only guess about. He recognized ancient pagodas, followed the movements of the frozen warriors.

“In one of my previous lives I was a Buddhist, as I am now,” – he will say later, - “and devoted all my life to practice…”

But this will only happen after 30 years. And back then, in the damp seventies, when the air was filled with victory marches in the name of bright Future and the identical cheerful people, who forgot their future and have no today, smiling from the posters, he always felt himself an outsider, living in his own world. Perhaps even this made him free from the insisting, persuasive reality.


So fair’s the sight of Noble Ones,
ever good their company,
by relating not to fools
ever happy one may be.
(Dhammapada)

Regime ideology was introducing prohibits, often close to absurdity, but at the same time, perhaps a bit earlier – closer to the “thaw”, on the wave of interest towards the East, academic books on eastern spirituality started to appear in the bookstores, but even those, written in complex scientific language, became a real revelation of a previously unknown spiritual world for many people. At the same time home-published translations of Suzuki, Buddhist sutras, biographies of great Masters appeared out of nowhere and were passed from hand to hand – people used to lend them for one night, during which they were copied by hand. There also appeared communities where people exchanged knowledge and practiced Zen.

Buddhism, generally wide-spread among the intelligence and the educated youth, have always had a shade of a forbidden fruit, despite the fact that, geographically, 1/3 of Russia is a Buddhist territory. The government was somewhat afraid of Buddhism, and thus, strengthened all kinds of oppressive actions, widely using tattlers and asylums. Practicing Buddhism was combined with a certain risk, in some cases – simply dangerous, especially when it comes to practicing the alien, unknown Zen, studied by no one and based on meditations.

Thien Duyen’s life changed when Tam Qui Master Zien arrived. A unique opportunity to study an ancient style under his guidance. Trainings, regular exams, tests – physical and moral – by this, not only the physical form was shaped, but also the inner world, the development of character. Master Zien was extremely demanding to the students, when they studied and mastered the basic technics. Correct execution of technique is the key to correct influence of the exercises on the man: “A man makes a Tao, Tao makes a man”, as Master Zien used to repeat. The Tao were to be exercised hundreds of times, and besides that, a very serious physical readiness was required – regular 10-kilometer runs, “iron palm” and “iron shirt” exercises, strengthening the body, and the hardest of them all – “acceleration up the mountain”, five-seven hundred meters, and then, right after – paired exercises in full strength. In Tam Qui all the paired exercises are conducted with bare hands with no armor. Only a very well-prepared person can withstand such a pressure, and pnly meditation can get you prepared for this. Soon, after a long practice, Thien Duyen experiences a strongest satori.

After receiving the Student’s Ninth degree in Tam Qui, the learning doesn’t come to end. Nine Master degrees follow. These do not require enormous physical efforts – at this stage, completely different qualities start to matter most, but about this we can only talk to the people who already have the Student’s Ninth.
The last thing Master Zien said before his departure was: “before you are 40, you must deeply understand Tam Qui, and only then you can transfer your knowledge to the people”.
It was just 1983… The official government, still Soviet, having spent years sending expeditions to Tibet, to India, in vain attempts to find something, solve the puzzle, has practically removed Buddhism from the heterodoxy list, and therefore turned more loyal towards Buddhism. Gorbachev’s intelligent reforming have drastically changed the situation – Russia opened itself for Buddhism, started to clumsily build relations with Dalai Lama. Buddhist centers, schools of martial arts and spiritual practices were being opened legally.


Thien Duyen continued his studies by himself, even in the army, and after demobilizing from his military service never stopped his trainings even for a day. The gained experience in the fight techniques, developed mastery, five-six hours daily, forgetting about tiredness.

He learned other styles, tried different systems and every time realized the advantages of Tam Qui. He let every movement, every Tao “pass through” himself, analyzed his own reaction – reaction of the body and mind, to anticipate the reaction of those, who will later come to him as to the Teacher.


Once, his body couldn’t stand against the stress – during one of the sparrings, Thien Duyen received a serious trauma of the spinal cord. The doctors estimated the worst. The practices had to be forgotten forever.

But it turned out the other way. Having realized that mastery is not only reflected in the forms of the martial art, and that the real power is inside the man and he’s the only one who can heal himself, Thien Duyen understood: the time for solitude has come. According to the Buddhist study, the nature of Buddha is in everyone, and by meditation and practice everyone can touch it.

During 3 years, having forgotten about communication and the big city nervousness, not caring about food and having left vanity behind, he lives in the forest, far from home, alone, all by himself. He studies the sutras, practices meditations, and as a result experiences several strongest satori.

Ever intent on concentration,
joyful in peace of letting go,
mindful, wise, the perfect Buddhas -
to even the gods they are dear.
(Dhammapada)


That was necessary for opening your inner strength or inner nature, to bring “emptiness” to the soul, to get rid of all goals and passions. The consequences of an injury have totally vanished. He returned, having left his old self, his old life in the woods; returned as another man.

There came a day when he understood that the time has come to pass his knowledge and art to the people.

But life has prepared a yet another trial, this time – a serious injury of an arm, then – surgery and a metallic finger, embodied in the hand for half a year. Ignoring the warnings of the doctors, Thien Duyen refuses to stop his trainings and participates in sparrings. It results in a pseudoarthrosis. This diagnosis means “you are doomed”. But special exercises based on Tam Qui technique help him to overcome this and recover.

And there was a day, when he saw, that in the garden near his house, the old dead twigs that he used as a prop when tying up the roses, have released green shoots and leaves…

Do not pursue the past.
Do not lose yourself in the future.
The past no longer is.
The future has not yet come.
Looking deeply at life as it is
in the very here and now,
the practitioner dwells
in stability and freedom.
(The Sutra on Knowing the Better Way to Live Alone)

So he understood the core of the Tam Qui.

First students appeared, and Thien Duyen made up his mind to create a School, but political changes in Belarus forced him to move to Moscow. It seemed that everything works just fine – in the big city there’s more freedom, more opportunities, but life prepares yet more hardships. He looks for adherents, but meets those who only have commercial interest about the School. He looks for friends and helpers, but has to face envy and misunderstanding.

One who foulness contemplates,
whose faculties are well-restrained,
in food does moderation know,
is full of faith, who's diligent:
that one no Mara overthrows,
as wind does not a rocky mount.
(Dhammapada)

“I have always realized that the School cannot be created by me alone,” – says Thien Duyen. – “Serious, true students are needed for this. Apart from physical readiness and unbreakable will, a deep understanding of a Buddhist doctrine is required. Schools like Tam Qui are created and exist for the people’s sake, for their health and development. Knowledge that lays inside the Tam Qui is enormous. If the life is spent on pleasures, it’s too short to achieve anything. If only commercial success is pursued, nothing will grow. That’s why so much depends on the students themselves, on the purity of their thoughts and intentions.”

In 2004, Thien Duyen meets Vladimir Kostomarov - the true adherent and student; together they create the Tam Qui federation. In the present time, the Tam Qui school is well known, not only in Moscow, but also in other Russian cities, and the followers are spread all around the world.

People, who attend the School, look for something meaningful to them. Some – for health, others – for strength… They come to “give it a try” and stay for long. Those come, who were enchanted by the mysterious forbidden Asia from the very childhood, whose imagination as a child was fascinated by the warriors on the old engravings… Those, who recognize something familiar in the flying Tao-s, shown by the Master – but to execute these Tao-s right, they will need years.

Thus, step by step, Master Thien Duyen heeds the precept of the Vietnamese Master Zien.
