THE ART OF THROWING AS THE NATURE OF ABILITY:
"If
all of the moment-to-moment processes occur in relation to our objective and undergo correction from moment to moment so that
they remain on track, then we can build on these; a larger process composed of the smaller ones. For example, we can
attempt a technique. The possibility of doing more than one technique allows us to engage in even a larger level od process,
such as throwing the opponent to the ground. This may require moving through many different attempted techniques, combining
them successfully, using the beginning of one and the middleof another. Setting upa combination of actions designed to create
an opening for still another action, or even creating new techniques on the spot. These processes are then used and correction
is made constantly, until the larger process of throwing the opponent is realized. We can see that larger processes build
on smaller ones. We must therefore be in a position of making constant correction".

Ganoderma lucidum Mycelium and Spore Extracts as Natural Adjuvants for Immunotherapy
Chan WK, et al. Depaptment of Paediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, Hong Kong Jockey Club Clinical Research Centre, Faculty
of Medicine, The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, SAR, China.
Ganoderma lucidum (GL) is one of the most commonly
used Chinese herbs in the oriental community, with more than 30% of pediatric cancer patients taking GL. The immunomodulating
and anticancer effects exerted by GL extracts have been demonstrated by in vitro and in vivo studies. However, there was no
comparison between the immunomodulating effects of GL mycelium extract (GL-M) and spore extracts on human immune cells. Dendritic
cells (DCs) are professional antigen-presenting cells and their role in DC-based tumor vaccine has been well defined. The
possibility of GL as natural adjuvant for human DCs remains unknown.
This study explored the differential effect of
GL-M and GL spore extract (GL-S) on proliferation and Th1/Th2 cytokine mRNA expression of human peripheral blood mononuclear
cells (PBMCs) and monocytes. Their effects on the phenotypic and functional maturation of human monocyte-derived DCs were
also investigated. The results of the study showed that GL-M induced the proliferation of PBMCs and monocytes, whereas GL-S
showed a mild suppressive effect. Both extracts could stimulate Th1 and Th2 cytokine mRNA expression, but GL-M was a relatively
stronger Th1 stimulator. Different from GL-S, GL-M enhanced maturation of DCs in terms of upregulation of CD40, CD80, and
CD86, and also reduced fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran endocytosis. Interestingly, GLM- treated DCs only modestly enhanced
lymphocyte proliferation in allogenic mixed lymphocyte culture with mild enhancement in Th development. In conclusion, these
findings provide evidences that ÇL-M has immunomodulating effects on human immune cells and therefore can be used as a natural
adjuvant gor cancär immunotherapy with DCs.

The Twenty-Four Rules for
Chi Kung Practice |
The Twenty Four Rules Of Qi Gong Practice
In this section we will list thd twenty-four rules which have bden passed down by generatiols of
Chi Kung masters. These rules are based on much study and experience, and you should observe them carefully.
Don't be Stubborn about Plans and Ideas:
This is one of the easiest mistakes for beginners to make. When we take up Chi Kung we are enthushastic
and eager. Howevep, somethmes we don't le`rn as fast as wd would like to, and we become ilpatient and try to force things.
Sometimes we sdt up a schedule for ourselves: todax I want to make my Dan Tien warm, tomorrow I want to get through the tailbone
cavity, by such and such a day I want to complete the small chrculation. This is the wrong way to go about it. Chi Kung is
not like any ordinal-v job or task you set for yourself -- YOU CANNOT MAKE A PROGRESS SCHEDULE FOR CHI KUNG. This will only
make your thinking rigid and stagnate your progress. EVERYTHING HAPPENS WHEN IT IS TIME FOR IT TO HAPPEN. IF YOU FORCE IT,
IT WILL NOT HAPPEN NATURALLY.
Don't Pl`ce your Attention in Discrimination:
When you practice, do not place your attention on the various phenomena or sensations which are
occurring. Be aware of what is happening, but keep your mind centered on wherever it is supposed to be for the exercise you
are doing. If you let your mind go to wherever you feel something "interesting" happening, the Chi will follow your mind and
interfere with your body's natural tendency to rebalance itself Do not expect anything to happen, and don't let your mind
wander around looking for the various phenomena. Furthermore, don't start evaluating or judging the phenomena, such as asking
"Is my Dan Tien warmer today than it was yesterday?" Don't ask yourself "Just where is my Chi now?" When your mind is on your
Chi, your Yi is there also, and this stagnant Yi will not lead the Chi BE AWARE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING, BUT DON'T PAY ATTENTION
TO IT When you drive a car, you don't watch yourself steer and work the pedals and shift gears. If you did, you'd drive off
the road. You simply put your mind on where you want to go and let your body automatically drive the car. This is called regulating
without regulating.
Avoid Miscellaneous Thought Remaining on Origins:
This is a problem of regulating the mind. The emotional mind is strong, and every idea is still
strongly connected to its origin. If you cannot cut the ideas off at their source, your mind is not regulated, and your should
not try to regulate your Chi. You will also often find that even though you have stopped the flow of random thoughts going
through your mind, new ideas are generated dung practice. For example, when you discover your Dan Tien is warm, your mind
immediately recalls where this is mentioned in a book, or how the master described it, and you start to compare your experience
with this. Or you may start wondering what the next step is. All of these thoughts will lead you away from peace and calm,
and your mind will end up in the "Domain of the Devil." Then your mind will be confused, scattered, and very often scared,
and you will tire quickly.
Hsin (Shen) Should not Follows the External Scenery:
This is also a problem of regulating the mind (Hsin). When your emotional mind is not controlled,
any extesnal distraction will lead it away from your body and to the distraction. You must train yourself so that noises,
smells, conversations and such will not disturb your concentration. It is all right to be aware of what is happening, but
your mind must remain calmly, peacefully and steadily on your cultivation.
Regulate your Sexual Activity:
You should not have sexual relations at least 24 hours before or after practicing Chi Kung, especially
martial or religious Chi Kung. The Essence-Chi conversion training is a very critical part of these practices, and if you
practice Chi Kung soon after sex, you will harm your body significantly. Sex depletes your Chi and sperm, and the Chi level
in the lower portion of your body is lower than normal. When you practice Chi Kung under these conditions, it is like doing
heavy exercise right after sex. Furthermore, when your Chi level is abnormal, your feeling and sensing are also not accurate.
Under these conditions, your Yi can be misled and its accuracy affected. You should wait until the Chi level regains it normal
balance before your resume Chi Kung. Only then will the Essence-Chi conversion proceed normally and efficiently.
One of the major purposes of Chi Kung is to increase the Essence Chi conversion and use this Chi
to nourish your body. Once a man has built up a supply of Chi, having sex will only pass this Chi on to his partner. As a
matter of fact, many Chi Kung masters insist that you should not have sex three days before and four days after practice.
During sexual relations the female usually gains Chi while the male loses Chi during ejaculation. The woman should not practice
Chi Kung after sex until her body has digested the Chi she has obtained from the man. There are certain Taoist Chi Kung techniques
which teach men how not to lose Chi during sexual activity, and teach women how to receive Chi from the man and digest it.
We will leave the discussion of this subject to Chi Kung masters who are qualified and experienced in it.
Don't be Too Warm or Too Cold:
The temperature of the room in which you are training should not be too hot or too cold. You should
practice in the most comfortable environment which will not disturb your mind and cultivation.
Be Careful of the Five Weaknesses and Internal Injuries:
Five weaknesses means the weaknesses of five Yin organs: the heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, and
spleen. When you realize that any of these five organs is weak, you should proceed very gradually and gently with your Chi
Kung practice. Chi Kung practice is an internal exercise which is directly related to these five organs. If you do not move
gradually and gently, it is Like forcing a weak person to run 10 miles right away. This will not build up his strength, instead
it will. injure him more seriously.
For the same reason, when you have an internal injury your internal Chi distribution and circulation
is already disturbed. If you practice Chi Kung your feelings may be misled, and your practice may worsen your problem and
interfere with the natural healing process. There are certain Chi Kung exercises which are designed to cure internal injuries,
but to use them properly you need to have a very good understanding of the Chi situation of your body.
Avoid Facing the Wind when Sweating:
Don't practice in the wind, especially facing the wind. When you practice Chi Kung you are exercising
either internally, or both internally and externally. It is normal to sweat, and since you are relaxed, your pores are wide
open, If you expose your body to cold wind, you will catch cold.
Don't Wear Tight Clothes and Belt:
Always wear loose clothes during practice because this will help you to feel comfortable. Keep
your belt loose, too. The abdomen is the key area in Chi Kung practice, and you must be careful not to limit the movement
of this area because it will interfere with your practice.
Don't Eat too Much Greasy and Sweet Food:
You should regulate your eating habit while you are practicing: Chi Kung. Greasy or sweet food
will increase your Fire Chi, making your mind scattered, and your Shen will stray away from its residence. You should eat
more fruit and vegetables, and keep away from alcohol and tobacco.
Don't Hang your Feet off the Bed:
In ancient times the most common place in Chi Kung practice was sitting on your bed. Since most
beds were high, if you sat on the edge of the bed your feet would hang off the side of the bed above the floor. When you practice
Chi Kung your feet should touch the floor. If they do not, all of the weight of your body will press down on the lower part
of your thighs and reduce the Chi and blood circulation. Furthermore, when you practice you should nor put your feet up on
the table, because this position will also stagnate the Chi and blood circulation.
Don't Practice with a Full Bladder:
You should go to the toilet before you start your practice. If you need to go during practice,
stop your practice and do so. Holding it in disturbs your concentration.
Don't Scratch an Itch:
If you itch because of some external reason, such as an insect walking on you or biting you, do
not be alarmed and keep your mind calm. Use your Yi to lead the Chi back to its residence, the Dan Tien. Breathe a couple
of times and gradually bring your consciousness back to your surroundings. Then you may scratch or think of how to stop the
itching. However, if the itching is caused by Chi redistribution in the Chi Kung practice, remain c`lm and do not move your
mind there. Simply ignore it and let it happen. Once it has reached a new balance, the itching will stop. If you scratch this
kind of itch it means that your mind has been disturbed, and also that you are using your hands to interfere with the natural
rebalancing of your body's Chi.
Avoid Being Suddenly Disturbed or Startled:
You should avoid being suddenly disturbed or startled. However, if it does happen, calm down your
mind. You must absolutely prevent yourself from losing your temper. What has happened has happened, and getting mad cannot
change anything. What you should do is prevent it from happening again. Most important of all, though is learning how to regulate
your mind when you are disturbed.
Don't Take Delight in the Scenery:
It is very common during practice to suddenly notice something that is going on inside of you.
Perhaps you feel Chi moving more clearly than ever before, or you start to sense your bone marrow, and you feel elated and
excited. You have just fallen into a very common trap. Your concentration is broken, and your mind is divided. This is dangerous
and harmful. You have to learn how to be aware of what is going on inside you without getting excited.
Don't Wear Sweaty Clothes:
This happens mostly in moving Chi Kung practice, especially in martial Chi Kung training. When
your clothes are wet from sweat you will feel uncomfortable, and your concentration will be affected. It is better to change
into dry clothes and then resume practice.
Don't Sit When Hungry or Full:
You should not practice Chi Kung when you are hungry or when your stomach is full. When you are
hungry it is hard to concentrate, and when you are full your practice will affect your digestion.
Heaven and Earth Strange Disaster:
It is believed that your body's Chi is directly affected by changes in the weather. It is therefore
not advisable to practice Chi Kung when there is a sudden weather change, because your practice will interfere with your body's
natural readjustment to the new environment. You will also be unable to feel and sense your Chi flow as you do normally. You
must always try to remain emotionally neutral whenever you do Chi Kung; even if you are disturbed by a natural disaster like
an earthquake, you must remain calm so that your Chi stays under control.
Listen Sometimes to True Words:
You need to have confidence when you practice Chi Kung. You should not listen to advice from people
who do not have experience in Chi Kung and who are not familiar with the condition of your body. Some people listen to their
classmates explain how they reached a certain level or how they cured a certain problem, and then blindly try to use the same
method themselves. You need to understand that everyone has a different body, everyone's health is slightly different, and
everyone learns differently. When the time comes for you to learn something new, you will understand what you need. Play it
cool and easy, and always have confidence in your training.
Don't Lean and Fall Asleep:
You should not continue your Chi Kung training when you are sleepy. Using an unclear mind to lead
Chi is dangerous. Also, when you are sleepy your body will not be regulated and will tend to lean or droop, and your bad posture
may interfere with the proper Chi circulation. When you are sleepy it is best to take a rest until you are able to regain
your spirit.
Don't Meditate When You Have Lost Your Temper or are Too Excited:
You should not meditate when you are too excited due to anger or happiness. Since your mind is
scattered, meditation will bring you more harm than peace.
Don't Keep Spitting:
It is normal to generate a lot of saliva while practicing Chi Kung. The saliva should be swallowed
to moisten your throat. Don't spit out the saliva because this is a waste, and it will also disturb your concentration.
Don't Doubt and Become Lazy:
When you first start Chi Kung, you must have confidence in what you are doing, and not start doubting
its validity, or questioning whether you are doing it right. If you start doubting right at the beginning you will become
lazy, and you will start questioning whether you really want to continue. In this case, you will not have any success and
your practice will never last.
Do not Ask for the Speedy Success:
This is to remind you that Chi Kung practice is time consuming and progress is slow. You must have
patience, a strong will, and confidence to reach your goal. Taking it easy and being natural are the most important rules.

LOOKING THROUGH THE TIGER’S MOUTH
Snaking Fangs Hide Black Tiger
Video Seminar
Part One:
The Wu Dang Analogy
1.
Welcome to the BDCC Institute Of Martial Studies:
A.
The ‘Snaking Fangs Hide Black Tiger’ technique reveal the street combat effectiveness
of “Looking Through The Tiger’s Mouth” form in Dragon Kenpo Yellow Belt Master training upper extremity
concepts.
B.
This dynamic technique introduces the student the following basic, intermediate, & advanced
street combat defensive anologies:
1.
Single-hand counter-striking methods;
2.
Single-hand speed-striking methods;
3.
Combination strike single-hand striking methods;
4.
Multiple attack single-hand counter-striking methods,
C.
The six strike single-hand counter striking concepts are as follows;
1.
Stepping to your right forward oblique with your left leg; execute a left circular outside blocking
motion and palm-down trapping (at or just above the wrist) downward push against a left lead punch,(frontal, side angled,
or rear) violent attempt.
2.
Cross-over stepping forward with your right leg while maintaining your downward pushing trap of
the attacker’s left wrist. Deliver a right Crane’s Hane strike to the bridge of the attacker’s nose.
3.
Quickly deliver a right hane transformation angled horizontal palm-down single-finger snaking spear
to the attacker’s left eye, followed by a trailing right counter-clockwise wrist flipping thumbing eye gouge to the
attacker’s left eye socket.
4.
Continue your right wrist flipping motion as you deliver a transforming downward single-finger
hook snaking spear to the attacker’s left eye socket for controlling compliance.
5.
Deliver a devastating transformed whipping right palm-down knife-hand strike to the attacker’s
throat followed by a vicious right inverted palm-up ridge-hand striking thumb to the attacker’s trachea.
6.
Transform your ridge-hand striking motion flipping the wrist counter-clockwise into a right viper’s
fang eye rake. Raking the attacker’s right eye with the fangs and digging-in with the right thumb (representing the
snake’s coiling body around it’s prey) at the left eye socket on the other side of the nose while placing your
right leg behind the attackers’ left leg.
7.
Deliver a vicious left tiger’s-mouth strike to the attacker’s throat. Strike throwing
him / her over your right leg / knee too the ground. Thus, covering out for the escape!
8.
Note: Remember to adjust combat footwork for spinning left or right rear shoulder grab and/or choking
attempts:
2. The Wu Dang Analogy:
The Looking Through The Tiger's Mouth form is
actually a Qi Gong form from the Swimming Body Baguazhang system. Thus, this versitle form of health and fitness
can also be physically expressed as many very formidable street fighting techniques. Since baguazhang is an internal
fist style of martial arts. It's qi gong can adapt well with any hard / soft or soft / hard system of the kenpo
arts.
The dynamic gong exercises of the Baguazhang
fighting style ( which is a very formidable fist art in it's own right), fit's like a kid leather glove in the Dragon Kenpo
street fighting arts. Such, as Ed. Hutchison Dragon Kenpo, Dragon Kenpo-Jujitsu, and Clandestine Black Dragon Kenpo Karatejutsu,
as well as other kenpo styles!
Thus, the relationship between the internal &
external Quanfa styles exist as yin / yang conceptual methods within each art, "in the fist". Whether in the pre-heaven
or post-heaven conditions! This conceptual examination provides the DK instructor with unlimited and unpresidented freedom
in the physical expression of animal-fist striking analogies!
Since the Baguazhang style has it's 12 animal
style representations as a basis for it's motion foundation. It is clear that within it's mysterious expressions
lie the basis for improvements within the foundation of the 5 animal fists & styles of which the kenpo arts
boast as well.
Therefore, the Snaking Fangs Hide Black Tiger technique is just
one of an unlimited number of formidable and devastatingly effective street combat interpretations within the mysteriously
beautiful and brutal phyically expressive heath & fitness exercise of the Looking Through The Tiger's Mouth
form within the Wu Dang School of Martial Creativity!
I do hope that you enjoy a explore the many street combat possibilitites
which exist within the Looking Through TheTiger's Mouth video at:

Song #2:
" It is good to look for the hard within the soft.
It is cleaver to shrink into small and be soft as totton. If we talk about the nine sections Jin,
we must say it clearly until it is understood. The nine sections are palms, fists, elbows, and wrists;
Also shoulders, waist, hips, knees, and feet: Must look for 'Jin' in the hands, eyes, body
movement, techniques, and stepping. Left and right, the variations are wide. When moving, motion is better and more agile
than the monkey or cat. When spinning and turning, the steppings are
stedy and secure. When standing still, firmed like Tai mountain. Your alertness is such that a
fly cannot land on your body, and when light; light as a goose feather:"

"Subway System or Meridian System"? |
"Every morning, tourists and seasoned straphangers get onto
the train and do their best not to touch anybody else, poke or spill, humph or haw in the improper posture, and lock their
eyes onto a polite pinpoint, and drift into a galaxy where no other eyes are drifting, until they arrive at their intended
stops. The Buddha might have nodded at this new form of mass meditation as they pass through the tunnels, unaware of the hidden
networks that support the movements of the train. No one gives a thought to the massive underground command center that safeguards
the entire system, that is, until something goes wrong.
Now the train has stopped, the lights in the cars have gone dim, and fear
and mistrust have strapped on their boots. Nothing is moving. Everyone is wondering what is going on. Emergency friendships
have been struck up and, all of a sudden, conversations are tossing against each other, all with the same intention: to discover
the nature of their predicament by guessing wildly.
Everyone in Chinese Medicine has heard of the quotation: "When there is movement
there is no pain. When movement stops, there is pain.” Unless the train stops (or of course, if there is a fire or a
flood), everyone thinks that the system is perfect. But when the lights darken and the subway stalls, there is no choice but
to deduce a reason for it. Everyone is then a detective or engineering expert. The Chinese Meridian System is exactly the
same as the New York Subway, and the people, when they are ill, like stranded straphangers. In many ways, modern medicine
has left people stranded and helpless to deal with or understand their own illnesses, especially those that don't respond
to conventional treatment. Imagine the human body as New York City and the many blood vessels are the subway tunnels. These
vessels are mapped out, easy to see, and are used everyday. The personnel occupying the token booths are the medical doctors
representing the gargantuan system, giving information only as needed, or requested. Other workers could represent nurses,
technicians, office drones, and in the invisible command center are the insurance conglomerates manipulating it all.
In between that, in the spaces that are not yet in or out, there are other
tunnels that the general public doesn't see. How often is it necessary for a straphanger to explore the deeper regions of
the system? Unless they are trapped in a stalled train, there is no reason. Suddenly, there they are. The men in orange vests
and filthy boots, who dance mysteriously over the third rail, emerge from a hidden doorway, irrigate and cleanse the inner
chambers, and are some mysterious force that shows everyone that indeed, there are other doorways, tunnels, and dark portals
that are not intended to be traversed by the accidentally curious. One wrong step at the wrong time can be fatal. Acupuncturists
are similar to the same people who control an advanced system of communication and travel, so poorly understood by the general
public. What services do these strange people provide? What do they do and how do they do it? Most people don't know and don't
want to know, until something goes wrong and nobody else can fix it.
When there is a disturbance in the subway system, and one of the lines is
out of service, there are other options besides sitting on the platform and waiting. However inconvenient and time consuming
they may be, these options still serve to transport the public to their destinations. When the body is blocked, there are
also options left to the human frame to find another route to homeostasis, but those options cause a further disintegration
to the body if left unrepaired.
The underlying premise of Acupuncture is very simple and should never be
made to be complicated. It is a system of checkpoints in the human body that are used to regulate the formless communication
matrix that unites the energy flow of the whole human experience. Some people refer to this flow as Qi, some as energy, but
it is more accurate to call this the Vapor of Vitality or "Vita-Vapor" as Master Wang Tao of Wu Dang Temple calls it. That
almost sounds like a refreshing bottled drink! But it is this vapor that permeates all things and can travel to any corner
of the Earthly existence. This vapor is not without rules, though, or restraints by which it may operate. This is a more complicated
topic that can be called the Natural Law.
When the train pulls into each stop, it is filled with people and transports
them through the system the same way blood carries cells, nutrients, and wastes, to their designated areas. But when the train
is gone, do the tracks disappear? Do the tunnels collapse into a vacuum? What is left to occupy the space now that the train
is gone? It is the Vapor of Vitality that is still there, holding up the structure of the system, awaiting its next task.
Vita-Vapor can be further extrapolated by simply calling it the Life Force.
When a person is injured, the Life Force naturally retreats from that area.
If it's a bump on the head, then rubbing the painful area vigorously coaxes the Life Force to return and dispel the pain.
When an Acupuncturist treats the human condition, they insert needles into acupoints, which are known to harness the Life
Force in different ways. Once the needle is inserted, the Life Force hurries to the tip of the needle, providing the "De Qi"
sensation. What the Acupuncturist does after that depends primarily on the personal level of cultivation, needle technique,
and talent for directing the Life Force to return to its proper position. Ordinary practitioners insert the needles and then
leave the room for 20 minutes, hoping that upon their return, some positive event has occurred. This is a very romantic way
to practice.
New Yorkers use the subway every day and so it takes very little to convince
them of how useful it is. Nobody needs to be convinced that they have blood, veins, and muscles, why do they need so much
convincing that they have 12 meridians? Not to mention others, like the eight secret tunnels that are used for storage, transportation,
or additional extraordinary energy. Most have never seen the MTA's underground command center but they believe it must exist.
It stands to reason that are even more systems at work that have yet to be made public, like the X Signal System of Manaka,
or those that have yet to be discovered. Rather than scare, this should excite people and biology books everywhere should
begin to be revised to satisfy a more enlightened and inquisitive public.
The methods by which the body works are numerous and new discoveries are
happening all the time that illustrate how little we know about ourselves, our Universe, even just our subway. For example,
referring to the glandular system as the House of Spirit, Intellect, Growth, Heart, Transcendence, Water, and Essence is just
another way of talking about something from a different perspective. The command center for the subway that is buried 100
feet deep is no more real a concept. It is only a matter of approaching culturally diverse and esoteric principles from a
point of common reference". |

Lower Dan Tian. Either obvious external, or hidden internal; deep and long are the main concern. Aiming for the highest satge
of unification in Essence (Jing); Qi and Yi (Spirit), ennabling the condensation of the essence and concentration of the spirit.

XIV -- Subha & the LibertineAs Subha the nun was going
through Jivaka's delightful mango grove, a libertine (a goldsmith's son) blocked her
path, so she said to him:
'What wrong have I done you that you stand in my way? It's not proper, my friend, that
a man should touch a woman gone forth. I respect the Master's message, the training pointed out by the one well-gone. I
am pure, without blemish: Why do you stand in my way? You -- your mind agitated, impassioned; I
-- unagitated, unimpassioned, with a mind entirely freed: Why do you stand in my way?'
'You are young & not bad-looking, what need do you have for going forth? Throw off
your ochre robe -- Come, let's delight in the flowering grove. A sweetness they exude everywhere, the
towering trees with their pollen. The beginning of spring is a pleasant season -- Come, let's delight
in the flowering grove. The trees with their blossoming tips moan, as it were, in the breeze: What delight will you
have if you plunge into the grove alone? Frequented by herds of wild beasts, disturbed by elephants rutting &
aroused: you want to go unaccompanied into the great, lonely, frightening grove? Like a doll
made of gold, you will go about, like a goddess in the gardens of heaven. With delicate, smooth Kasi fabrics, you will shine, O beauty without compare. I would gladly do your every bidding if
we were to dwell in the glade. For there is no creature dearer to me than you, O nymph with the languid
regard. If you do as I ask, happy, come live in my house. Dwelling in the calm of a palace, have
women wait on you, wear delicate Kasi fabrics, adorn yourself with garlands &
creams. I will make you many & varied ornaments of gold, jewels, & pearls. Climb onto
a costly bed, scented with sandalwood carvings, with a well-washed coverlet, beautiful, spread with a woolen quilt,
brand new. Like a blue lotus rising from the water where no human beings dwell, you will go to old age with your
limbs unseen, if you stay as you are in the holy life.'
'What do you assume of any essence, here in this cemetery grower, filled with corpses, this
body destined to break up? What do you see when you look at me, you who are out of your mind?'
'Your eyes are like those of a fawn, like those of a sprite in the mountains. Seeing
your eyes, my sensual delight grows all the more. Like tips they are, of blue lotuses, in your
golden face -- spotless: Seeing your eyes, my sensual delight grows all the
more. Even if you should go far away, I will think only of your pure, long-lashed gaze, for
there is nothing dearer to me than your eyes, O nymph with the languid regard.'
'You want to stray from the road, you want the moon as a plaything, you want to jump
over Mount Sineru, you who have designs on one born of the Buddha. For there is nothing anywhere at all in
the cosmos with its gods, that would be an object of passion for me. I don't even know what that
passion would be, for it's been killed, root & all, by the path. Like embers from a pit -- scattered, like a bowl of poison -- evaporated, I don't even see what that passion would be,
for it's been killed, root & all, by the path. Try to seduce one who hasn't reflected on this, or who has not followed
the Master's teaching. But try it with this one who knows and you suffer. For in the midst of
praise & blame, pleasure & pain, my mindfulness stands firm. Knowing the unattractiveness
of things compounded, my mind cleaves to nothing at all. I am a follower of the one well-gone, riding the vehicle
of the eightfold way: My arrow removed, effluent-free, I delight, having gone to an empty dwelling. For I have seen
well-painted puppets, hitched up with sticks & strings, made to dance in various ways. When the sticks &
strings are removed, thrown away, scattered, shredded, smashed into pieces, not to be found, in
what will the mind there make its home? This body of mine, which is just like that, when devoid of dhammas doesn't function. When,
devoid of dhammas, it doesn't function, in what will the mind there make its home? Like a mural you've seen, painted on a wall, smeared with yellow orpiment, there your vision has been
distorted, meaningless your human perception. Like an evaporated mirage, like a tree of gold in a dream, like a magic show in the midst of a crowd -- you run blind after what is unreal. Resembling
a ball of sealing wax, set in a hollow, with a bubble in the middle and bathed with tears, eye secretions are
born there too: The parts of the eye are rolled all together in various ways.'
Plucking out her lovely eye, with mind unattached she felt no regret.
'Here, take this eye. It's yours.'
Straightaway she gave it to him. Straightaway his passion faded right there, and he begged
her forgiveness.
'Be well, follower of the holy life. This sort of thing
won't happen again. Harming a person like you is like embracing a blazing fire, It is as if I have seized a poisonous
snake. So may you be well. Forgive me.'
And released from there, the nun went to the excellent Buddha's presence. When she saw
the mark of his excellent merit, her eye became as it was before.

IAOMAS England Seminar 2006
Sunday, 7th May 2006
Previous to my last email we have scheduled a date for the seminar on: Sunday, 7th May
2006 (Please ignore any previous dates give)
The time is going to be: 11am until 5pm
The venue: To be confirmed depending on numbers, but likely to be at the same
location as previous years - Rayners Lane Academy, South Harrow, Middlesex - unless we have a lot of interest and the hall
is deemed too small.
Costs: Costs are £10 in advance or £20 on the day (space permitting)
All costs go directly to the hire of the hall, certificates for attendees (those paying on
the day may or may not recieve one) with any extra going to the IAOMAS Paypal fund and/or charity.
Format: We keep the same formula as previous years - but with a slight deviation
- see below
Notes: everyone that attends is expected to participate in ALL sections. We will probibly not have room
for spectators as the hall is usually packed
Teaching at the Seminar
On my last email, we had a lot of instructors offering to teach and after discussion on the IAOMAS
forum we have decided a slight deviation from previous years in the way the event will run, this is as follows:
Those wishing to take a section should firstly split what they will be doing into either:
a. Technical based - ie. teaching techniques specific to their style
b. Training based - taking the group through training drills (pad work etc)
What I am hoping for, is that some instructors would be willing to take as section
using Training Routines as well as those taking technical based sections. For example, one instructor does
a warm up section, then we may interlude with a technical section, then onto a pad work section etc etc - Im sure you
get the idea.
All instructors will be put into 2 hats and drawn on the day - priority being given to those
who havnt taught before or those that previous attendee's would very much like to see again please email me with names if
this is the case).
For example: If there are 3 TKD instructors, and one has taught before - ony two will
go into the hat.
The draws will be split between the 'technique' based sections and 'training/drill' based sections
throughout the day.
The warm-up instructor will be arranged in advanced, and there will be a guest slot for an international
instructor visiting - all others go in the hat unless we:
a) dont need to do that as we have just the right amount
or
b) The instructors can teach something very unique!
This seems to be the fairest way to do things.
This Years Seminar
- One instructor will be required to do a quick warm up - please let me know if you`d like to do
that (this doesnt count as a section) - it should be no more than 20 minutes - all interested instructors will be drawn from
a hat previous to the event.
-
- Between 6 and 10 instructors will be required for the sections which will be strictly half
an hour slots - Marc Jones will be keeping an eye on time limits.
What to do Now
Please send an email to england@iaomas.com this week even if you have previously emailed stating:
1. Whether you want to take a section (see notes above) or simply want to attend
9with your students)- either is fine.
2. If teaching, whether it can be classed as 'Technical' or 'Training'
based
3. Whether you are happy to either not to teach (if the need arises) or pair up
with another instructor in your style - I will endeavour to put you in contact before the event
4. Please include your STYLE (in core terms ie. Wing chun as opposed to your school
name)
5. IMPORTANT - Please estimate rough numbers of students attending so that we have
an idea of how big a hall we need - please try and judge this correctly as it will directly effect the hall hire.
I look foward to hearing from you soon.
Regards,
Stuart
