Oh, wow...
I recall how John would talk about him, well, before the debacle that happened when John and I still spoke.
I hope that John knows this happened.
My condolences for his Family.
He must have been pushing 80, no?

I had a few friends that trained with him, and that was like 25 years ago. So he was up there. Just heard it, don't really have details, but I'm sure more info will be available from direct students

Sorry to hear that. When I was a student at Pete Robinson's Tao Dan Pa school in CT he came and taught us meditation.

Sad news.

I was a disciple of his back around 1991 and still have the fond memories of training at his house right after the "iron couch" session.

He wasn't your typical, soft spoken, humble SiFu and I remember him touting his iron palm and impressively strong bridge hands from time to time.

Condolences his family.

Omg

Bill Chung was my Sifu. I even did a Bi Si with him in the back of the health food store I had in Brooklyn.
He got me into Hun Mun (Hung Ching). I've been trying to find out info on him for years.
I'm so sorry to hear of his passing. My condolences to his family and students.
