Practice the Way of the Empty Hand to become as an empty vessel. This is so that you may take natural courses of action, like water, that you may find the path of least resistance. This is in order to better understand and utilize your nature, as it relates to the universe, and universal truth. Practice the Way of Peace and Harmony in every way possible. Strength (the hand) of mind, body, and soul is a tool for peace and harmony (the dove). Peace and harmony give strength meaning. Life, like the ocean, is an ebb and tide, a give and take. Learn to subside and crash upon the shores of life. Study, recover, train, becomeThen give it all back. This all relates to not just combat, but life itself. Like the ecosystem, people all depend on each other. Do not hesitate to plant a good seed. Though an eye for an eye makes the world blind, a favor for a favor makes the world a garden. In your search for peace, harmony, and truth, strip away the unessential. Make leaps of faith; give it all your best effort. Do not ever hesitate, or stop learning. Reach to the bottom of the lake of your soul. I believe in you. I wish you the best, and God bless you. |
