( abstracted from the dairy of a MAD man)
Is it the dilemma of Siu Lim Tau?
Or is it the dilemma of the decendent of every generation since hundred years ago?
Siu Lim Tau,
The details training.....
Rooted in Awareness.
Awareness in every small details: physical, mind, breathing, medirians, joins, tendon, structure, momentum, resultant force, potential......
Beyond all type of conciousness or thought patterns or fomulars.
Via Awareness,
Effective, elegant, conciseness Action is possible.
No longer needs to remember 1000 examples
No longer needs to remember hundreds of bridge hands
Action transcents from Awareness
That is the true paradigm shift.
The utilization of the True Emptiness Wonderfull existance.
The Silence The effortless alertness The Awareness.
But then how do one express Awareness?
But then how do one train Awareness?
But then how do one teaches the Awareness within the Action in all conditions.
For Hundred of years,
some tries to transmitte it via set
via different type of Chi Sau
Via listening.
Via intention....
Keep trying...
But then,
when Awareness is objectify,
The Action becomes a repeated habitual motion.
become rigid steps
become copying print
become lifeless.
Then, it leaves the root even further
Formulars, lines, shapes, Kiu, philosophies derive from thoughts and speculations.
That once upon a time breakdown of steps trying to do partial transmitting or illustration or to hand hold the beginners, become the ultimate, become the original........
Drift Away from that subdue action with silence and that one stroke
replace with ten thousand of hands and stories which cant even sustain a wrestle's take down.....
Yee, Shen, Niem,
intention, attention, thought
Sheh or Concious,
Ch'ier or awareness...
what is what? which is which?
Does one still do SLT?
Does one needs some advance SLT?
Or
one has to master AWARENESS.
And then ACtion will go naturely.
Be it physical, structural, breathing, Qi, applications.....
A dillemma.
since hundred of years
The paradigm shift from Emei's Goldern Summit Temple.
AWARENESS,
the Kwan Yins (kanno in japanese, Avalokitasvara in sanskrit) thousand hands and eyes
or it is called the Snake body.
Like a Snake aware of every little part of its body.
or it is called the Spide waiting in its web.
Like a spide aware of the environment surronded it.
A dilemma.
A story about the Spring's life force -- True Emptiness and Wonderfull existance --- fade away.
In a cold robotic world of macho ego.
There will be a butterfly effect --- a butterfly flipping its Wings in somewhere produce a tronado in Pacific Ocean. and the little wind from the Wings of the Butterfly is the carrier of the AWARENESS.
PS
When you do SLT tonight, forget about everything but that beautiful Butterfly flipping its wings and produce that soft wind.
Do you aware of that soft wind?
Do you aware of the present of yourself?
Do you aware of the what is in your mind?
Do you aware of your toes while moving your fingers?
Do you aware of you dont have to copy anyone?
Do you aware about awareness?
Is it listen or is it Aware?
or you just standing there trying to relax but stuck in a hundred years dilemma.................
Awareness is lighter then the soft wind produce by the little butterfly. But, it exist and alive and can lead one to subdue the action with silence. It is no where but it is everywhere....
Isnt that a True Emptiness Wonderfull Existance?
