Dearest Dr.Tan; I am saddened by your passing... Tears rolling in my eyes. Looking back merely seven months ago when I first attended your lesson in KL, it was hard to imagine back then such a great man like you is now taken away so soon. Your smiles, your humour and wisdom touches everyone, I will not forget every moments of your selfless teaching. Without you acupuncture is a struggle. Thank you for everything. The legacy that you have left behind will stay with us forever... 谭老师。一路走好。。 MeiLing

I recently learned of Dr. Tan's transition. I too join all of his colleagues, family & friends in the celebration of his life as he inspired and shared his Light with all of those that came into his life. He mentored me in the study of Xuan Kong Classical Feng Shui for many years, now my passion.

Quiero publicar una frase en recuerdo a la memoria del Dr. Richard Tan, que como Gran Maestro hizo fácil lo que parecía difícil. Gracias de Corazón por tus Enseñanzas y por subir el nivel de la Acupuntura en occidente. "La naturaleza me ha proveído de un cuerpo, y fatigado con la vida; me ha liberado con la vejez y con la muerte me dará reposo. Así pues, bienvenida sea la vida, y por lo mismo, bienvenida sea la muerte". (Zhuang zi, VI, 2). Ricardo Cordovilla Losada (Barcelona-Spain).

Dr. Tan changed my life by giving me the power over my skills using the knowledge he shared. I took my first Balance Conference in maybe 2003 or so. I have a fountain in my office that reminds me of his spirit everyday. I picture him fishing and happy in my mind now, and know he has fulfilled a great purpose here. He is on to his next adventure, sharing even deeper wisdom. I am shocked and sad and will miss him and his playfulness. Thank you for sharing your life's work with us. Godspeed Dear Teacher!

I feel extremely honored to have the chance to lear from Laoshi Tan. I use Dr Tan method everyday in my Swiss clinic. With his method, patient recovery more quick and of couse my clinic is becoming very busy. It's so joyful feeling to have such result ! I am thankful for all the knowledge he gave me. Prune Hu

The world has lost another great man. Dr Tan, thank you for all of your teachings. Your love for acupuncture, your dedications to saving people, and your tireless education to pass on the beacon is truly remarkable. 嗟，哲人其萎！

Dr. Tan truly lived up to the title of "Grand Master". He was a leader of substance. Perhaps I am not alone in feeling a bit lost without the presence of his experience, wisdom and humor? He suggested half an hour of Chi-Gong and half an hour of meditation per day. We must walk forward with his best example and teachings. Study, practice, cultivate, engage. Thanks to all of you for carrying forward his best work. This makes the world a better place. Blessings upon you all.

As everyone knows by now, Dr. Richard Tan passed away. And my heart is heavy writing this. What do you say about someone so great? Many acupuncturists, and thousands upon thousands of patients, have already benefited from his work. Clinics across the world - the busiest clinics that have hundreds of patients a week - utilize his style of acupuncture. He was a genius. What he taught will take an average acupuncturist like me years and years to learn, if ever I might be fortunate enough to obtain his level of understanding, knowledge, and skill. I for one am forever grateful of Dr. Tan, since it was his methods that I used to build a busy and successful clinic. I will continue his work, and continue promoting it as one of the best, if not the best, styles of acupuncture. I know that in years to come, it will be seen just how profound his depth of knowledge was, and how significant his influence on the field acupuncture actually is. His contributions to acupuncture will continue to be felt...forever. His legacy will only strengthen. Thank you, Dr. Tan. Thank you for making me a better practitioner. Thank you for saving so many of us from giving up. Thank you for opening our eyes to just how effective acupuncture is. Thank you for showing us how powerful acupuncture can be. Thank you for giving us confidence, hope, excitement, and happiness. We will miss you so much.
-
I was fortunate to be able to attend two of Dr. Tan's 4 day seminars. I now practice his techniques on every patients, on a daily basis. I am very thankful. How sad he is gone, his brilliant mind will be missed, but so lucky that he decided early on to take apprentices and then to go into teaching around the word.

Dr. Tan changed my life! I know that sounds dramatic, but it was dramatic! I struggled with herbs, and Dr. Tan gave me permission to not give a hoot about herbs, or not so much anyway ;-) After all the stuff we learned in school he gave me a clear cut EFFECTIVE path to really make an immediate difference in my patients lives, and I will forever be so grateful for that. He made me laugh, and still does as I explain to my patients about "Where is the light? And where is the switch?" I hear him all day every day asking "How do you treat this patient? 1, 2, 3!!" I only use his methods in my clinic. What a great teacher, and a great practitioner. I will miss you so much Laoshi as will we all!

Hello there Dr. Tan and relatives! We were not be able to come over to San Fransisco today for your memorial day. But, dear Dr. Tan, we have you closed in our hearts! So we are with you today in our minds and souls. We wish you and your relatives a beautifull day! Sanna Icks and Michel Hekkens, Gezondheidspraktijk Jing Luo , Venlo, Netherlands

Dr. Tan was a wise practitioner and by his teaching he did achieve state of enlightenment. He is now enjoying and experiencing being without form pure light, pure energy, he is now in another superior dimension he will probably will no rebirth again. In my thinking he already clean karmas from past and his length of life and he pass pure and clean. His pass for this material life was fruitful. All his followers including myself are happy because he left to us his legacy and the way to successfully help our patients. Dr. Tan gave us unconditional love via his teaching. Dr. Tan be in peace and enjoy nirvana if that was your final goal. Thank for all Dr. Tan. Solrac Zeravla

Like the rest of his family, friends and students the news of Dr. Tan’s loss comes as a profound shock. It seems nearly impossible that such a beloved and great leader has passed on so soon. My most profound condolences go to his family, Fanny, his three sons and to everyone close to him. It was around the time that my father died a decade ago that I felt embraced and soothed by the paternal-like wisdom and energy that Dr. Tan conveyed to us students through his profoundly inspiring teachings. I remember having the image of sitting around the fireplace while the patriarch bestowed crucial information for living and practicing well. Had I not chosen motherhood, I would have wished to follow him around the world and in his clinic to glean even more from him. But even within the limits of my pregnancy losses, my pregnancies, and with young children, I was able to see him several times and to learn his amazing method well enough to practice it. On at least four occasions my family was able to meet him and each time he commented on how beautiful the children are and how much they have grown. I wanted them to have a memory of the master, as he was truly the greatest acupuncturist of our modern times. The last time we saw Dr. Tan was in San Diego in March of this year. I was signed up to retake his advanced class in Vancouver BC this past September, but he cancelled due to illness and I was too heartbroken at the time to learn his teachings from another person. Wishful thinking had me believe that he would recover and that I would be able to continue to study with him for a least a few more years to satiate my appetite for his infinite wisdom, and just to be near him. While his loss leaves a huge hole personally and professionally, I feel so deeply lucky to have benefited from his wisdom on several occasions, and to have his books to continue to study for the rest of my life. I plan to continue to practice his method exclusively, as I have for the recent several years, and to do justice to his teachings and honor his name by providing the best possible results with acupuncture. Once I can overcome the grief, at some point I hope to study more with Eileen and Delphine. I guess this is what happens when we age, we realize we may be next in line to take on a responsibility sooner than we may feel ready. Dr. Tan's teachings were truly transformative. They elevated his students to an extraordinary level of experience. Whenever I was in his presence, I knew I was with a master. I used to come home and say to my family "imagine being in a four day seminar and not being bored for one minute". It will be impossible to replace the natural high, the feeling of walking a few inches above the ground I felt for days at a time while attending Dr. Tan seminars. Everything he said was an inspiration, a lesson, a way of managing life and clinical work. Though I go to bed with a heavy heart, I will always know that a great master lived and taught, and that I was blessed with the benefit of learning from him. His life and his death have changed my life permanently. My heart goes out to all of us who are grieving for him, and especially to his family. A song by Dan Fogelberg reminds me of the feeling I have about continuing to share Dr. Tan’s gift with the world. It is called “Leader of the Band” Here is an excerpt from that song: I thank you for the music and your stories of the road I thank you for the freedom when it came my time to go I thank you for the kindness and the times when you got tough And, Papa, I don't think I said "I love you" near enough. The leader of the band is tired and his eyes are growing old But his blood runs through my instrument and his song is in my soul. My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man. I'm just a living legacy to the leader of the band. I am the living legacy to the leader of the band. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsocZrEcp0Y Dr. Tan, I will always love you, Debra Susan Nash-Galpern, December 28th, Eugene, Oregon

Sifu, I am filled with so much sadness to hear that you have left our physical world! I will not again have the chance to hear you teach and laugh at your humor that you shared to help us remember how to use this wonderful medicine! Your energy, however, has not left us and you live on in every student and patient who was fortunate to have spent time in your company. You have such a giving spirit and I may never know another who gave so freely of knowledge with so much joy! May your body now know peace and your spirit soar!
-
Thank you Dr. time for transforming practice the practice of so many other acupuncturists all over the world. Through your teachings lives of our patients have been made better. We can only hope to carry on your legacy by being the best we can and making the World a better and brighter place through our acupuncture.

With great saddness I read about the passing of Dr. Tan. He changed my life in a great way, I am much more succesfull in work and it is fun to really be able to help my clients. With my profssional success I can now achieve my private aims. I am very thankful to have had the chance to meet this grand master in person and am very greatful to know, that his apprenties keep his memory alive and are spreading his technique all over the world. Thanksfully the show goes on, I will be there. Jan Post

In 2011, after 12 years of practice,a flyer came through to learn the Balance Method. This moment revolutionised my practice-but most importantly, my patients' lives. Dr Tan's life work has humbled me in the witnessing of countless amazing healing results and inspired me to set up a thriving multibed clinic. I will continue to remember and apply his wisdom and keep his Light alive daily in my clinics. With much gratitude for the blessing to have known you, Dr Tan.

Dear Dr. Tan, your passing away touched me deeply, even though we never met. With teaching my husband Jan you not only changed his life but also mine. I am a masseuse and Jan showed me a few points to help my clients better. The success I have with it is amazing. And with my husband being so succesfull with your technique he was able to move into a bigger place, already 6 months after he attended the first time your basic class, which allowed me to move into his former place and give up my room in the hotel I worked in. What a freedom. And most important - Jan is now happy with the results of his clients, which he almost never was before he met you and learned your technique. Thank you. I wish you a happy onward-journey

I will miss is lessons, he changed so much for so many. I will miss his smile, his humor, the light in his eyes that has kindled so many lights in the eyes of his students. Thank you, Shifu, for having such a passion for helping people and for teaching others to help so many as you have. I am grateful for your influence... Rest well, Shifu...

Dr Tan will always be one of the most inspiring and influential TCM teachers of our time. His style of imparting wisdom through his books, lectures and seminars has left an indelible imprint on my understanding and practice of TCM. His generosity, passion and relentless efforts to teach and guide aspiring TCM practitioners worldwide makes him an extraordinary person and he will be missed immensely. Every time I revisit his books or a recorded seminar, my understanding grows deeper and helps me becoming a better practitioner. Thank you Dr tan. Namaskaram Preeti Damania

You have been on my mind for some time now. I am so thankful that I was able to study with you. It changed my life and enabled me to help so many more. I loved watching you work on people at the seminars, it was about so much more than the needles. You really honored people's humanity. Encouraging and joking, it was such a blessing to us all that you were willing to teach tirelessly for all those years.

He was a wonderful teacher that will be sorely missed, and he had wisdom beyond the ages!

I inadvertently took Dr. Tan’s CEU class in NYC in 2000. While I had already been in practice for a number of years, Dr. Tan revolutionized how I did everything with acupuncture. From that time forward, I used his approach with every patient I have ever treated. I brought a number of LAc’s to his free (!) pre-introductory class for the Balance Method and recommended that any acupuncture student study with him if they ever got the chance. I loved his sense of humor, generosity and patience. He always said he wasn’t worried about the “other” professions doing acupuncture because they couldn’t do what he could do (because they had no understanding of TCM). He gave me courage because he was so confident. I am grateful and privileged I had the chance to be in any of his classes. I know how lucky those practitioners are that had the good fortune to have worked closely with him. My most heartfelt condolences to Dr. Tan’s family and friends. Rest in peace mighty spirit, I am forever grateful to you. Jody Eisemann

痛失良師...........A very painful loss of a great techer
-
I woke up this morning with a slight headache , and before opening my eyes I was looking for an acupuncture point to balance it, just as Dr Tan taught us three years ago. This is how much this great man affects every day thousands of acupuncturists and their patients all around the world. Dr Richard Tan said in once of his lectures that in a few decades he may be remembered as revolutionary as Albert Einstein or Ludwig van Beethoven. I very much hope his prophecy would be fulfilled.

A man who fearlessly shared secrets from China that few dared, he changed the lives of many, myself and my patients included. He taught us a lot about acupuncture, about life, and about people. I thought of him all day today as I was working in my clinic. Thank you Dr Tan, and thank you to his family for sharing him with all of us. You are missed already.
-
I also wanted to state how grateful I am for the many times Dr. Tan saved my health or the health of a loved one. And I realize now incredibly grateful I am that his unique and sometimes surprisingly effective skill lives on in Eileen Han and that she is available for treatment in San Diego.
-
Dr.Tan is a great man to help many people by his unique balance needles. His books are in my hands. Just today I open his web and see this shocking news. We are inspired by him still. His voice and smiles are always in my mind, never gone.

See you on the other side, Brother. We had some good times! :) You brought knowledge, love and laughter to so many people, changing our lives forever, in such a positive way. You changed my life in so many positive ways. You read me and my wife's Ba Zi. Told me she was a keeper, which she most definitely is, that led us to having 2 kids so far and being married. I almost gave up on the medicine. But you brought me back to it, showing me the fun practical side of helping others. Thank you so much my friend. I will miss you, Sifu!
-
Dr. Tan inspired thousand students and will live a thousand years! He left a great legacy behind him and taught his students instant pain relief method to help humanity . The world lost a great master! I will miss you! Rest in peace! Condolences to his family, friends, and students.

I had the pleasure of attending Dr. Tan's workshop in 2013. I was inspired by both his technique and his immense confidence. I remember going up to thank him at the end and was touched when he showed such a genuine wish for me to be the best practitioner I could be. Meeting and learning from him has definitely helped make me a better practitioner. Thank you Dr. Tan.

Dr Tan, I feel so lucky to have met you and learnt your Balance method. Thank you for sharing your life's work with the world so generously and passionately. I loved your seminars. They were educational with funny anecdotes from your life. You are a pioneer in applied acupuncture. Your students all over the world will continue practising your method and spread your teachings. My heart is heavy with sadness but I won't let myself dwell on your death. I will remember you for how beautifully you lived your life. You were a beacon of light guiding and inspiring other and bringing laughter everywhere you go. Rest in peace. Olivia Ma

I had the pleasure and the honor to attend Dr. Tan's class 5 years ago. It's amazing that I physically saw him only 4 days but he's been present in my clinic and my work ever since, every day and at every treatment. Thank you for your knowledge, wisdom, spirit and special presence. I will always remember and honor you, your work and your method.

I am so sad to hear this news. Dr. Tan was an incredible guy. I was lucky to have studied with him and shared some fun times times when he was in Chicago teaching us - Tom Malinsky, Eileen Han, Jason & Jeanie Bussell. We will all miss him! Melissa Grein Le Nicol

When an extraordinary person leave us the world becomes poorer. I join all the people who are missing Him But be sure he is around all the ones he touched as I believe that life is just holidays given by death Keep on the track and enjoy his gift sharing an astonishing generosity giving us his wisdom and example. I never met him but through all of your books, articles and the forum I became a better person and wish to thank you all for that. Thank you Anuragmadir

While studying medicine in China I learned the greatest respect a student can pay to a teacher is to continue their traditions and contribute to the advancement of their studies. Each of us can do this with every treatment we provide. Doctor Tan, you will be greatly missed.

Un grand merci à Dr TAN pour m'avoir donné la possibilité de suivre son enseignement. Un grand enseignant, avec beaucoup d'humilité, une personne passionnée et très passionnante et rempli de sagesse.

Une pensée aussi pour tous ces collaborateurs (trices) dans ces moments de transitions. Prenez bien soin de vous là ou êtes Dr TAN. Merci, Merci, Merci.

To this wonderful man who knew to share all his wisdom with passion and humor. « I felt in love with acupuncture » thanks to his teaching. My patients felt in love with acupuncture thanks to his balance méthode. « Le roi est mort - vive le roi ! ». His spirit will continue to live in us and so he will keep on creating. I express my sincère gratitude and hope to cross his way again. Gesa Kaehlbrandt

Journey well great spirit.

I quoted Dr. Tan at my best friend's wedding a few years ago. The key to a successful marriage is compromise; you have to change for each other. His voice is in my head in the clinic as well as in daily family life. It is amazing how much he changed my practice in just a few weekend seminars. I was hooked the first day! I have two young sons, and am happy they were able to meet Dr. Tan and Fanny. As they get older I had hoped to travel to San Diego to further my studies with Dr. Tan. It is a lesson in regret and in seizing the moment. He continues to teach me from the beyond. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and humor with us, Dr. Tan. You are greatly missed.

Thank you Dr Tan for all the wisdom that you shared. I was blessed with the oportunity to learn with you and will continue to pass the light you gave me to my pacients. God Bless you!

Dr. Tan. I am grateful that I had the opportunity to study with you. Your methods transformed my practice. You were able to condense 4 years of acupuncture school training into 4 hours and have it all make sense. Using acupuncture? Then use the meridians to diagnose and treat. Duh. You were a brilliant and humorous man. You always made the seminars fun and engaging - never the same twice. Your legacy will live on with me and countless others practicing your methods. You were a game changer. RIP.
-
This man undeniably changed my life, and his work revolutionized not only my practice, but my entire understanding of acupuncture. His spirit lives on in his students and in the countless patients helped by him, both directly and indirectly. I'm sad to hear of his passing. Peace and comfort to his family, including Eileen and all the apprentices. RIP, Sifu - I'll dance some Salsa in your honor.

How does one handle greatness? Anyone who has ever been a student of Dr. Richard Teh-Fu Tan knows that he knew exactly how to handle greatness. It was as simple as… “dedicate yourself to something and make it part of who you are… then share that knowledge and understanding with the world…” Dr. Tan or as I knew him… Sifu… Sifu lived his life in exactly that manner. He called this… Li Gan Jian Ying. You stand a pole and you’ll see the shadow… But Dr. Tan stood in no one’s shadow and he never expected his students to either… His love for teaching was only exceeded by his love for laughing, helping people, great food, and a chance to dance. Anyone who has ever spent time with Dr. Tan knows that his heart was always in your best interest and the interest of your patients. He genuinely wanted every person that chose this incredible field of Acupuncture to benefit… Humble, caring, passionate, gifted are but a few on a long, long list of words that could be used to describe this amazing man. As anyone of his students will tell you… my practice of Chinese medicine, my understanding of Chinese medicine, my life will forever be changed having known and been privileged enough to call him my Teacher, to call him friend, to call him Sifu. Sifu may you forever smile upon the world knowing that through your work and your teachings you have touched the lives of millions and millions of people. Thank you Sifu for the laughs, the hugs, and the learning… may you find the peace you so richly deserve… In loving memory and gratitude forever your student… Jeremy Gilsoul

Teh-Fu was my teacher, my friend and a force of nature. He was a very generous mentor during my 10 years of apprenticing with him. I loved his sense of humor and his no nonsense thinking. As my teacher and my friend, Teh-Fu had my back and gave me good insights and advice in various areas. I am fondly remembering many conversations and good times at the clinic, over meals and at many parties. I can see him playing and beating everyone at pool and I can see him dancing at my wedding. I love you Teh-Fu. You will be missed in this dimension. Thank you for your generosity and for the legacy that you left here. You and your wisdom remain very much alive within your family, friends and students! XOXOX

Dr Tan revolutionised my practice. After 12 years of TCM acupuncture I received a flyer advertising the Balance Method teachings. This moment changed my professional life forever- but most importantly, my patients' lives. The results and the difference to people's lives is testimony to the greatness of Dr Tan's system. I very much intend to continue carrying your wisdom and Light to the people who cross my path, Dr Tan. With much gratitude for the blessing of having known you, Ariane Thompson

Hello there Dr. Tan and relatives! We were not be able to come over to San Fransisco today for your memorial day. But, dear Dr. Tan, we have you closed in our hearts!

I did not know what to do when I found out this wonderful man had passed away, I have had such a heavy heart, I even feel unable to discuss it with others around me, that is the affect that such an inspirational person can have on your life. He will be missed by so many of us who have had the experience of his wisdom and wit. Life will go on for us physically but it is the spiritual guidance he can be still with us, remember, ask and you will receive. Whenever I am stuck in my clinic I look at the certificates on my wall from the Balance Method seminars and ask what should I do and somehow it comes to me. The spirit will be my guide. Thank you Dr.Tan, you are going to be missed.

Dr Tan will be missed by many. But his teachings will live on. He has been a main mentor and influence in my life. He is the reason I practice the way I do, and the reason I understand the medicine the way I do. I feel so deeply grateful for his wisdom and lessons. I first studied with him at balance conference in 2001 and then went on to take most of his classes including BaZi certification. He taught us to accept our destiny and to change our mindset. These bigger life lessons are some of the most profound to me. I am forever grateful to Dr. Tan. He is a master and my greatest teacher.

In acupuncture school you learn to pass the board exam. Then, you begin your practice and you search for a teacher you resonate with to teach you to become an effective practitioner. Dr. Tan was THAT teacher for me. I first met him about 10 years ago. He was SO CERTAIN about acupuncture and I wasn't, but I was attracted to that certainty. My first attempt at the method resulted in my patient breaking into a sweat and nearly passing out... along with immediate, complete resolution of her chronic neck pain. I was hooked and have never looked back. My favorite memory is my question about the nature of several points he used in dealing with female infertility and hormonal issues. His reply: "Wax on - Wax off." (Karate Kid reference) "Use these points 1000 times and you will understand them". Then I asked how long he would continue to teach. I now know the answer to that question is as long as people want to learn. I haven't seen you in a few years, but you have and will continue to teach me as long as I am willing to learn. Thank you and God speed.
-
Thank you Dr Tan, for the precious knowledge you so generously shared and taught. Meeting you in August 2014 changed my life. I still remember laughing in tears at your jokes in class... You've opened my eyes about what acupuncture can do, about what I can achieve. Your classes were always practical, always straight to the point, and always with a sense of humour. People think they are expensive, yet they don't realize that your wisdom is priceless. I am able to help my patients with instant results everyday because of you. Hard to believe how someone can be so selfless...the way you initiated and gave everyone qi in Paris even though you knew the state of your health.. If only I had known.. My heart is filled with respect and gratitude, no words can describe the greatness of your soul. May you rest in peace 師父 your memory will be forever cherished.
-
Thank you for your generosity, Dr. Tan! You inspired us all to be a better practitioner.

Dr Tan is present in my practice every day. I am so thankful I could attend a seminar with him and learn from his revolutionary method, which has changed and will continue changing lives of patients and TCM practitioners. Acupuncture became truly meaningful after I studied with him. I was impressed by his generosity, charism and stamina. All my condolences to his family and specially his spouse. Thank you Dr Tan, you will be missed.
-
My dear Dr. Tan, you became a very big part in my life. Everyday i hear your voice in my ear, when i dont know what to do. I am so happy to have you in my life. I am looking forward to see you somewhen somewhere. In deep love Your Sandra

I am very saddened by this sudden news of his passing. I went to many seminars and learned a great deal from him. Smart, funny, charismatic man will be greatly missed. He help me to transform my practice and I am forever grateful for his teachings. Your 60th birthday party in Vegad was a blast. Thank you Dr. Tan

Every time a patient comes to my office and says, "Thank you, thank you for helping me," I say a prayer of silent gratitude, "Thank you, Dr. Tan, thank you for helping me and for showing me how to help others, you changed my life." What a gift. Everything I am in my practice, I owe to my mentor, Dr. Richard Tan. In so many ways, he helped me grow. He always said to me, "Erin, you must learn to 'go with the flow'". While these words may be simple, they have rung true for me, in many situations, on countless occasions, and I have learned valuable lessons from that one little phrase. I met Dr. Tan two weeks after I graduated from acupuncture school, fourteen years ago. He was charisma, backed up by theory. Layer upon layer, he explained how acupuncture worked. He made sense of the classics, and could explain the "why" in countless detail. Dr. Tan gave me many opportunities to learn through the years. He taught me about humility, and in the same breath, taught me to be confident. I am grateful for all the opportunities he gave me to learn from him and from others. He extended himself in so many ways. Dr. Tan was a person who gave tirelessly, always and forever. He opened the door to so many people to become effective practitioners, and always to become better people. He was to me, a friend and mentor. I am forever in his debt and he is forever in my heart. To a beautiful, brave, Dragon, I say "Thank you." Your memory will live forever.

I am so deeply saddened and in complete shock over Dr. Tan's passing. I was lucky enough to meet him at Emperor's College in 1999, I believe it was soon after he started teaching. I took a daylong intro class at that time and never looked back. I've continued to follow him for over 15 years, even flying to San Diego once a month for almost a year... needless to say I've never used a local needle since and never will. I've always told him, "I attribute all my success to you." Dr. Tan, you were the last of the greats. Your generous soul, infectious charisma, genius teachings and fun loving nature will keep us smiling for years to come. Thanks for the salsa and I can't wait to bring you another fine bottle of Cote Du Rhone... see you in our next lifetime Si Fu, I miss you so much right now.
-
I only managed one course with Dr Tan but it changed my life. I had been in practice 20years and have completely changed to his method. I am so grateful to have met him and have experienced the kindness and generosity from him and those who follow his method. I have a new family and a ew inspiration in my practice. I am able to help more people and show the benefit of his legacy. He will be remembered.
-
I lift a glass to you tonight. Thank you for being someone who relieved suffering and erased ignorance. The affects of your actions will carry on for many years.

We received with great sadness the news that Dr. Tan, our beloved teacher, passed away. Dr Tan touched our lives and the lives of thousands, especially in Israel, where we co-founded the Dr Tan Israeli center for treatment, research and teaching. We can't imagine our professional lives without him. Those who were lucky enough to meet him, found themselves in front of a man that his presence alone was a key for healing. Dr Tan was much more than the creator and teacher of the Balance Method. He was a great man that contained simplicity and genius, basic and complexity, yin and yang of Chinese medicine. He was a smart, funny, extraordinarily generous, inspiring and loving person. His passing away is a huge personal and professional loss for us. In our last conversation, he expressed his desire that we, the students and teachers of his system, will continue to uphold his legacy. May he rest in peace, Adi Fromm Guy Polak Israeli Tan Center

I recalled a memory of when we were in San Diego doing a Cultivation day and Dr. Tan said, "when you meditate, don't be afraid you will disappear and become nothing - YOU EXPAND to be everywhere....."

El Dr. Tan seguirá siempre vivo en mi corazón y en mi práctica diaria. Encontrarlo y disfrutar de su enseñanza fueron una verdadera revolución en mi manera de trabajar....Para él la acupuntura era más que una ciencia, era un arte sin limites. Gracias por todo....Gracias!!!!

I will always be so, so grateful for how you ignited my acupuncture practice and truly changed my self and life, Dr. Tan. I use your work and wisdom every day in my practice and in my life. You have been such a force for good in this world and your impact will continue on through all the people you touched with your spirit and mind and guidance. Blessings to your family and friends, and to you in your passing.
-
To all the family and close friends and colleagues my deepest condolences and prayers go out to you all in this time of deep loss. The loss of our beloved and Master Teacher is beyond words. Our lives have all been transformed by his genius and unwavering dedication to this profound and boundless medicine. When I first heard Dr. Tan speak in 1993 I knew in that brief moment that I wanted to study more from this master. Finally was able to start my studies with him in 1999 and never stopped and then was so very honored and fortunate to be able to study for the BA ZI certification. In that time, the awareness and understanding of immensity of this medicine took on an even deeper meaning. I was met some of the most amazing and dedicated students, both to the Balance Method and The Ba Zi, and with whom now will have life long friendships. Dr. Tan, you came with your heart full of passion, your mind clear and focused, your spirit full of conviction and dedication, but most of all with joy and laughter to lighten the way on this journey through the endless study of the science and art of this magnificent medicine. Thank you and may your journey continue to be full of wonder, joy, mystery, and discovery. May we meet again sometime, for now, enjoy the party!
-
Dear dr Tan, thank you with all my heart for the real difference you've made for the Chinese medicine, my clinic and my personal life. I have such wonderfull memories of your seminars, days of such joy, deep knowledge and inspiration. A wonderfully good Qi was to be felt all around. Memories for life! After being acupuncturist for 11 years I finally got to understand and be able to see the deeper connections... finally feel proud to say I'm an acupuncturist. Seeing you on youtube, I get tears in my eyes and a smile on my face together. Wanted to show you my gratitude in person in Antwerp late October, but unfortunately that wasn't possible anymore. But you'll stay honoured on my website and in my clinic. My deepest feelings of strength and warmth I send especially to your widow, Fang Fang Tan who has lost a wonderful husband and to all of your family and friends. My hope is that during your illness and finally passing, nature has been gentle with you and that now you're in peace and doing well on the "opposite side". Dear dr Tan, you've planted an amazing and wonderful seed, the plant will grow, on and on... Thank you for everything you've given to us!!

3天前, 惊闻谭特夫医生辞世的消息。一直想写点什么, 可每每悲痛的不能自己。认识他快十年了, 除了有一见如故之感外, 更敬仰他博学 智慧 善良 谦逊 幽默的大师魅力, 每次的 seminar 都见他面对世界各地的中医师们, 高屋建瓴地演绎周易在人体上的应用, 堂堂由每个病人验证, 针到痛除。 他的大师级医术, 和他极富感染力的笑容一样, 似乎无人有什么抵抗力。 上次在芝加哥见面时还告诉我, 正在台湾建房准备退休了, 要我带Steve 去台湾, 住在他的家里, 然后我们四人一起去上海!!! 他那一刻快乐的音容, 竟从此成了我永远忘不去的记忆。 I'm so grateful to meet a genius with a wonderful soul in my life. I know that you are in heaven and looking over me with a child-like smile as always. And you know that you will be missed forever.

Dr Tan was both a teacher, a comic, and in my estimation, the uncle after the classes we always wished we had in our lives. He knew how to play different roles and he exemplified this, Best of all, he showed us we didn't have to be so uptight, to relax and most of all he never lost his verve for having fun. He helped us see the lighter side of being a Chinese Medicine practitioner, instead of being reverent, suppressed, and overly apologetic, he made us laugh, he taught us how to think, and he always did it in a light hearted manner. I can see a lot of his concepts he talked about in my life. When my step dad died, I didn't even know it for a whole year, you see he and my mom split ways, and we had a amicable but distanced relationship with him. When I finally found his tombstone, on a cold snowy day, I realized how much HE had rubbed off on me too. So its only in retrospect that we can see how much people mean to us. Dr. Tan was also so open! He didn't hide any of his teachings, again something that was and still is never done. Dr. Tan showed us by example, and he never backed down from a tough case. From the dog and pony shows we also learned COURAGE TO TREAT! I'm very emotional as I write this and just want to say, I am deeply saddened and awed by his movement to the next level. You will be missed and are appreciated!

A great teacher, a doctor with a big heart and a hilarious story/ joke teller ("... What the cat is in Heat? ...Oh, maybe I can help treating it!") who always had given himself 200%!

My memories are the reflections of his spirit and soul, companions of each needle and each written Bazi. He will die immortal as long as his ideas will be shared with others to benefit patients. I am not good in shared emotions, but this I write in deep sadness to honor the greatest teacher I ever met.

C'est avec stupeur et une profonde tristesse que je viens d'apprendre la terrible nouvelle! J'ai la sensation d'avoir perdu quelqu'un de cher et de proche même si je n'étais qu'une étudiante parmi des milliers à travers le monde, car il fait partie de ma vie quotidienne à travers ma pratique de l'acupuncture qu'il a révolutionnée. De plus, par sa gentillesse et sa générosité Dr Tan savait aussi être accessible à tout un chacun et il était simple de pouvoir discuter avec lui autour d'un bon repas ou d'un bon verre de vin (car comme le savent ceux qui l'ont connu c'était avant tout un bon vivant) parfois même de choses très personnelles... Il m'a une fois confié être très attristé de l'incompréhension de certains de ses pairs de la Faculté "officielle" de Médecine Traditionnelle Chinoise à l'encontre de son travail et de sa méthode. Il souhaitait plus que tout pouvoir transmettre le fruit de sa vie de recherches au plus grand nombre possible d'acupuncteurs. Il a consacré tellement d'énergie à apporter son enseignement dans le monde entier ! Il nous appartient maintenant à tous de continuer à faire vivre ce grand Maître de l'acupuncture contemporaine par la pratique et la transmission fidèles de sa méthode si "TANtastique"... RIP Gabrielle Franzoni

We were shocked and sad when we red that Dr. Tan passed away. He was and is, for us, a great teacher, a great master and a source of inspiration and positive energy. We're glad we took the advanced track so soon after the core foundation. We feel privileged to have had lesson,training from him personal. We also got to know him as a sympatic, accessible man. Tahnk you Dr. Tan for sharing your wisdom, giving an insight and help us to help other people! We wish his family and friends a lot of strenght! May you rest in peace! We will always remember you in every patient we treat, in every book we read in every video we see and beyond..........! Sanna Icks and Michel Hekkens

Dr. Tan will always be remembered for his brilliant and innovative techniques. Like so many others, I had the honor of witnessing his brilliance first hand. However, what I am most grateful of is that I was in the presence of one of the most giving and loving Spirits and Souls that I have ever been around. I ask the Family, Colleagues and anyone associated with Dr. Tan, to keep his Spirit in mind when doing your daily activities. Ajay Purohit AP

Special thanks to Dr. Richard The-Fu Tan for sharing his acupuncture methods. I attribute my clinical acupuncture success and efficacy due to employing I-Ching, Balance and Tung's methods. Richard Tan inspires me to be a sniper acupuncturist every day, I'm grateful to have had such a brilliant man as a teacher. My deepest sympathies go out to Tan's family and those near to him. Rest in peace Dr. Tan, you will be missed.

Thank you for your teaching with so much humor, kindness and inspiration for all of us. Hoping to see you again this year, remembering your tight handshake and asking me of it was not too much study for me! Greetings Rosalind Vermeulen

Dr. Tan you were the greatest acupuncture teacher I ever had. I can't believe that you're gone and that I cannot talk with you anymore. I use your knowledge daily in my clinic and am proud to say that I studied with you. You were not only inspiring but you were really fun to hang around with. Thank you.

I took my first class with Dr. Tan in 1998 and have been following him every since. He knowledge changed my view of my practice and how to treat patients. His humor, practicality, and honestly shaped everything I do today...even in life. He was also teaching us life lessons. :) I had the opportunity to be at his Las Vegas Birthday Bash!! What a fun time! In August 2015, I had my daughter take a photo with him, and I said to her he is a very famous man. I never did speak with Dr. Tan very much as many people wanted his attention. I hope me asking my daughter to take a photo with him let him know how much I really respected him. He was truly a legend in his own time. And Eileen, if you read this...you are amazing, and you made Sifu proud!

Dearest Teh-Fu.......I am so blessed to have called you my beloved friend and mentor for the past 15 years. You were a rare and genuine gem. Your laughter, love and vitality will be missed every day. A spirit like yours can never be extinguished. We will meet again my dear friend...... xo

I remember being overwhelmed at times until I met Dr. Tan. He made things simple, practical, logical. he was lighthearted, generous and had a contagious laugh that I will always remember. He was a great man and I am so grateful I had the opportunity to meet him.

Dr. Richard Tan revolutionized Acupuncture for me. Acupuncture didn't make sense to me the way I learned it in school and I will feel forever grateful to him for all that I have learned from him. He was such an amazing and inspiring person and I feel deeply saddened by his passing. Thank you Dr. Tan for your contribution in this world and thank you to all his students for passing on his wisdom. Petra Schirra

I am turning 42 next year. According to Dr. Tan and his Ba Zi reading years ago it will be the year that is bringing the "female energy" into my life... and the money. I remember the moment we were talking over the phone him telling me that & me not being able to resist and replying: "maybe it is the females bringing the money..." - and I heard this great man giggling on the other side of the world and repeating: "I like that thought... I like that thought" :-) MY thoughts go out to his family and to all those who have been close to him. I am very thankful that you have been part of my journey through this life.

As everyone knows by now, Dr. Richard Tan passed away. And my heart is heavy writing this. What do you say about someone so great? Many acupuncturists, and thousands upon thousands of patients, have already benefited from his work. Clinics across the world - the busiest clinics that have hundreds of patients a week - utilize his style of acupuncture. He was a genius. What he taught will take an average acupuncturist like me years and years to learn, if ever I might be fortunate enough to obtain his level of understanding, knowledge, and skill. I for one am forever grateful of Dr. Tan, since it was his methods that I used to build a busy and successful clinic. I will continue his work, and continue promoting it as one of the best, if not the best, styles of acupuncture. I know that in years to come, it will be seen just how profound his depth of knowledge was, and how significant his influence on the field acupuncture actually is. His contributions to acupuncture will continue to be felt...forever. His legacy will only strengthen. Thank you, Dr. Tan. Thank you for making me a better practitioner. Thank you for saving so many of us from giving up. Thank you for opening our eyes to just how effective acupuncture is. Thank you for showing us how powerful acupuncture can be. Thank you for giving us confidence, hope, excitement, and happiness. We will miss you so much.

Dr. Tan touched and changed my life. For this I will be forever greatful.
