Heros I remembered
My masters are my heros. And yes almost all my masters are male. Competitive sports have taught me a lot about life. My masters are the ones who are there to complete most of what I need to know and learn, and there’s no stopping. When I recently picked up tai chi again with a local chinese master, my friends asked me, “WHAT!! you are still learning tai chi? I thought you had learnt it all few years ago!”
I told my friends, “Yep, but this master had made me un-learn and re-learn everything!!!”
I believe there’s always a reason why we stumble upon certain people in our life who would be teaching us something about life and this universe we are in. The masters I’ve met over my life never fail to amaze me with their stories and wisdom:
- my master in USA gave me another kind of perspectives on the kinds of marathons each one of us can run in our life time. Read the story here.
- another one of my master told us about the story of his mother, who had passed away but being a good person that she was when she was alive, she appeared in bliss and in pure land in his dream, and when she appeared in his lucid dream, she told him this, “Son, you must remember this lesson. This is the secret to life – 心专石能穿 (it’s in chinese, meaning – that’s what life is about. You get what you focus on, it’s like making a hole in a stone, like laser beam. Whatever happens to you in life, is what you have asked for, whether you know it or not, the seeds planted by you and you alone). Throughout all the months training under this master, this is the most valuable lesson i’ve taken away from him
