Da Yuan Circle is a loosely formed group of people that have gathered around Liu Ming and participate in assemblies, rituals, workshops and classes. The circle began to form in the early 1980’s not long after Liu Ming emerged from a long retreat in the Santa Cruz Mountains.

Though the group has experimented with various names and structures its real identity is that of the indefinable collective experience of its members.

In 1994 it received state and federal (non-profit) church status.

Its current activities include on-going classes (see catalog/schedule), the publishing of a series of books and the purchase of land that will serve as a hermitage and burial site for its members.
