• Life, God, and Training

  This movie is exactly how I think of life:

   

  

   

  Life is just a training session. We are here on Earth, and God keeps on hitting us, making us suffer until we learn the lesson.  That sounds brutal, but so is life.

   

  This is Tao…

  Hard work over time to accomplish skill.
  A painter can have kung fu.
  Or the butcher, who cuts meat everyday with such a skill that his knife never touches the board.

  Learn the form, seek the formless.
  Hear the soundless.
  Learn it all, and forget it all.
  Learn the way, and then find your own way.
  The musician can have kung fu, or the poet, who paints pictures with words and makes emperors weep.

  This too is kung fu.
  But do not name it, my friend. For it is like water.
  Nothing is softer than water, yet it can overcome rock.
  It does not fight, it flows along the opponent.
  Formless, nameless. A true master dwells within.
  Only you can free him.
