Aloha, I am so honored you are here.
My name is Reverend LeeYen Tan (陳 麗 燕) Anderson, which means beautiful swallow in Chinese. I serve as an ordained minister and trustee of Humming Universe Ministry, a faith-based spiritual ministry devoted to sacred practice, embodied remembrance, and the living Way of the Dao.
I was born in Malaysia, with ancestral roots in Eng Chun (永春), Fujian, known as Eternal Spring. My spiritual path is carried through these ancestral lineages and through the living transmission of Daoist and heart-spirit traditions.
Humming Universe Ministry exists to gather people into communities of sacred practice. Through minister-led retreats, spiritual gatherings, private ministry sessions, and devotional study, the ministry supports participants in remembering their innate connection to Source, Nature, and the living field of Spirit.
My training in depth psychology, ancestral wisdom, and embodied spiritual cultivation is offered in service to the ministry’s religious mission. I understand all life — including the elements, plants, sound, light, and consciousness itself — as expressions of Divine presence.
As a lifelong student of the Dao and the ancestral teachings of WuJi, I experience Source as formless light moving through the body and the living world. In this way of sacred living, the Dao is the flourishing of Nature herself, and the human heart is a doorway through which that truth may be known and embodied.
My heartfelt prayer is for you to ground
into a sense of simplicity
as a way of life
through gratefully receiving
the abundance we have been gifted with
Namaste. I bow to the Divine in you.
I once carried a deep sense of being unseen and disconnected, and I believe many who find their way here may feel that too.
For more than twenty-five years, I devoted myself to yoga and meditation, believing that through effort and mastery I would reach the summit of life. Yet even with discipline and training, I felt emotionally distant from my own heart, as if something vital had not yet been found.
Through spiritual awakening and the grace of Divine presence, I came to understand that a coherent and joyful life is not built through techniques alone, but through unified relationship with the greater field of Spirit that lives within and around us.
In Humming Universe Ministry, this understanding is shared through sacred practice, prayerful embodiment, and the remembrance of WuJi — the undifferentiated source from which all life arises.
Those who come into the ministry’s retreats, gatherings, study circles, spiritual teachings, and devotional communities are invited into a path of resonance, clarity, and quiet joy, where Spirit and Matter meet within the human heart. In this way, we return to the living field of Dao and the deep coherence of our original nature.

From seeking perfection to embracing purity.
I used to believe that I needed to get "to the top" to be "somebody." I grew up in a household that lived for the future. The regular topics of discussion centered around the need to be highly educated so we could have successful careers.
Being ambitious became a pursuit of perfection. I have a vivid memory of crying for hours when I was 10 years old upon discovering that I did not achieve the 5 out of 5 possible As in a statewide exam. The 4 As I received were unacceptable to my childish mind. The term "you are useless" was directed at me often. It rang in my head persistently on that day that I remember so well.
My life became a quest to prove that I was NOT useless.
I landed my first job right out of university in the finance industry and was on a prestigious career path that very few could hope to secure. I felt I was in perfect control of my life's trajectory...or so I thought.
The road to embracing purity instead of seeking perfection was painful, caused mostly by my own unkind thoughts. I was filled with fear and feelings of unworthiness. Isn't ironic that we can be so accomplished in the eyes of society yet feel so small and unloveable inside?
Through spiritual awakening, listening to the wisdom of the body, and the gentle guidance of the heart, I began to recognize the body as a sacred temple and life itself as a field of Divine communication. These quiet whisperings invited me back into presence, compassion, and truth.
Today, I live in a deeper sense of inner peace, learning to walk one breath at a time, one step at a time, in reverent relationship with Spirit.
