The Lesson:

Impermanence teaches that all things arise and disappear.

We do not control the fluctuations in the universe.

Do not try to.

Necessary Awakening:

There is so much external distraction, misdirected, and misused energy in the world today and there are so many things we can do nothing about ..BUT..

We CAN make a decision to be mindful, inspiring and "medicine" in the world while we are still here.

Do not wait to be Kind.

Do not hesitate to be Radiant.

Do not wait for a better time to Love.

And most certainly ;

Do NOT wait for a better time to let go of your Anger...there is no better time.

As my Master used to tell me:

"Anger depletes the Chi, shatters the spirit and fragments the heart.

Activating one's spirit is one thing but anger is entirely different.

Do Not misdirect your mind or waste your energy in unhealthy practices "

Let us focus on what we CAN do instead of what we cant.

Success is rooted in service, kindness, and realistic progress.

True inspiration comes from the heart...not the mind.

The Shift :

Every now and then there is a shift in the force.

Then,  even the old become young.

The stiff become flexible.

The intolerant become understanding and the self-righteous become humble.

The Master becomes the student and the student becomes the Teacher.

The parent becomes the child and the child becomes the parent.

This life is always evolving...

Evolve with it...or be stuck in the past.

Firm yet loving Clarity:

Stay in your heart,

Stay out of your head,

and stay away from the beings who do not serve your highest good.

And if you can't avoid them ...

Just BREATHE...and let them spin out on their own.

Sometimes the kindest thing to do is to just leave people to their own devices and let them find their own realization, while you maintain a steadfast, balanced position of Love.

This is not weak. It is actually very powerful.

Divine Contrast :

So many beings complain about other being's political views, their personal choices and their actions in the world and then they themselves go out into the world and live mindlessly in self-centered self-absorption.

WRONG PRACTICE...

Divine Contrast is necessary because it not only gives us examples of what is possible...

but it also shows us what NOT to do.

Effortless Radiance:

I hear so many beings who are all talking about spirituality and realization and enlightenment and they are missing the point.

They are yearning and searching outside themselves beyond their own inner awareness and wisdom.

They are all talking about looking to this form or that style or this technique or that lineage...

It is all distraction...

They are moving away from the actual realization that is naturally within.

The problem is;  they believe or they were told that they need to achieve or attain something other than what is already theirs...

INCORRECT.

IT is the letting go of the external distractions and the yearning itself that will return us the original state of brilliance and intuition.

The thinking mind is a set up.

Even thinking about realization itself is a misdirection.

It is the Letting Go that is the solution.

Allow all the illusions and attachments to crumble and dissolve.

What is left is your true nature, your original brilliance .

Do not try !

Release...........and return to the original state.

Effortless Radiance

"Penetrating the Heart, Protecting the Buddha"

The Inner Practice :

The physical element of practice is just 1st level training.

It is the inner work which stabilizes and guides one throughout their life and helps one to embrace and transcend the obstacles that the earthly incarnation provides.

This is not avoidance.

It is the ability to be empty when needed and fully potent when required.

It is the ability to cultivate discrimination and develop higher discernment.

It is the responsibility to use all your inner skills to assist the outer world.

This is true Kung Fu.
