		The notion of 'supreme ultimate' is often associated with the Chinese concept of yin-yang, the notion that one can see a dynamic duality (male/female, active/passive, dark/light, forceful/yielding, etc.) in all things.

		Tai Chi is practiced by about 20 percent of the world’s population and is fast becoming the most popular exercise in the world today.
