Containment and Cultivation:

The truth is humans leak energy [Chi ]  in many ways..

Verbally, emotionally, energetically, and sexually.

There is a lack of containment, self discipline and self-cultivation.

This creates sloppiness and poor spiritual and social  hygiene.

The Gateless Gate:

          A method of self cultivation that evolved in ancient China was the  Chan method. The original versions of Chan had no traditional instruction.  It was called the "gateless gate".

          Each master drew from his personal experience those things he felt would aid him in achieving awareness and spiritual insight.

          The core of the Chan concepts is to remain free from attachments and experience things as they are, not as we wish them to be.
