 Hi Everyone,

 Because my website in not accessible in China anymore.. maybe its the freewebs company...
I am attaching my latest article for you all. If anyone is up to translating my work into Chinese,
the donation of your time will go towards good cultivation for other people. It isn't easy to
translate what I write, but it would be an honorable thing to do for the sake of other's cultivaiton...

Also, I am in the search for some affordable webhosting. I see I may have to make a new website...eh...
Since I onoly can pay in Chinese money, its basically useless over the internet...and chinese websites cost LOADS of RMB...anywho
if anyone has ideas on some free webhosting, let me know.

 Peace and Blessings,
 Lin Zi Yi (Aiwei)

The Non-Separation of Buddhas and Living Beings
By: Lin Zi Yi


The wonderful ways of this universe are only according to the minds living
beings. In the realm of hot, there is cold. In the realm of big there is short.
That which is myriad is only myriad because of the thoughts and afflictions of
living beings. What is an affliction? An affliction is nothing more than that
which the mind attracts to, moves to, and remains in view (perception) of, which
is the fuel of the process of creating things.

Taking the view that all beings area interconnected, we will direct our
attention to the relation with all things. In the relation to all things, living
beings are thus all things. A rock, a tree, a statue, a car, all things. How is
this so if a rock, a car and a statue do not breathe, live, think? It is because
living beings which do breathe, think and live create such with the mind. When a
living being sees things, they see with the use of the function of the physical
eyes. When eyes are closed, they claim to see nothing.

  This seeing of nothing is still seeing. One thinks there is nothing being seen,
and thus, nothing is seen. One says because of the blackness, there is nothing.
The present moment of labeling what is sought to be the blackness makes this
blackness something. It now becomes the mind of the seer, the one seeing, not a
sage. When things enter the function of the eye organ, one claims to see, and
thus one views such a seeing as an experience of the object in sight.

  From labeling comes further separation of views. The movement of mind to what
is seen is the separating of things, thus the creation of things. Things that
are created are, in form, separate from other forms that are in creation, hence
a quote from the Dao De Jing, ¡°One creates two, two creates three, three
creates the myriad things.¡± This line only points to the function of labeling.
Not the overall manner of the universe.

  What is known as the universe is nothing more than mind. When mind views the
universe, there is a universe to view. No minding of a universe and the universe
is not separate from the minder. When such is cultivated, the view of oneness
with that which is outside of the one seeing begins to function. This view of
oneness is still not actual oneness, but only a guideline to the realization
that all things are actually of a single substance.

  When the mind is not moved by that which is a result of the function of
viewing, the mind no longer is the mind. The idea of a mind is still a view.
Once the view of a mind that is unmoved is put down, there is a realization that
all places, all things and all minds of living beings are no longer places,
things and minds of living beings. Just for the sake of saying so, all minds,
places and things are all one.

  Buddha is a name to that which is the put down mind, the unmoved and unattached
mind. One cannot grasp it as a thing because it is not a thing. Though it is the
¡°mind¡± which is unmoved, unattached and put down, it is also the defiled mind;
mind of attachments, unbalanced and full of views. The ¡°mind¡± that is attached
is just the same ¡°mind¡± that is not attached. To be clearer, we can look at
the analogy of clear water and dirty water.

  In a cup of clear water, no dirt, there is just water. When dirt is added to
the water, it is now defiled water. It is still water, but only with dirt in it.
When the dirt is first put into the water, it falls down to the bottom of the
cup. The water was originally not moving, but because it was in a vessel, the
cup, it was subject to dirt entering its abode and defiling it. The dirt enters,
and the water moves slightly as the dirt falls to the bottom. After all of the
dirt has settled, the water is now again still, but is defiled. When there is
wind, or a vibration, the water moves, and that movement also disrupts the
settled dirt causing it to move about, and sometimes rise up to the surface of
the water.

  This is the mind of living beings. They have a vessel, a body, a form, and are
subject to the influence of the functions of the body. They in turn believe
these functions to be real, and base their views on them. This is the same as
the defiled water and its movement of dirt. When there is a sensation from the
body of the living being, because of the attachment to the sensations and views
of them, the mind moves to them. This results in stronger attachments to the
views of the sensations.

  It is likened to the defiled cup of water. This brings us to look past the
emotions, sensations and views we hold, and realize that they are all created by
improper views. Improper views are thoughts held in the mind which assist in
believing what is experienced to be real. Though living beings have a body, and
will inevitably have views, certain views result in the experience of a
destructive mind, a sick mind which results in the forms of living beings to be
the same.

  The Buddha taught to put down views, but since great amount of living beings
have the condition of needing to hold onto views in order to cultivate, as an
expedient to keep the mind from creating what we consider unpleasant things, he
teaches to hold onto precepts, truths of what we consider reality so as to stay
focused on not becoming stuck in daily habits, thoughts, emotions, etc. The
lesson with that is, if we are to hold onto any false thoughts, hold onto those
which result in wisdom. Using poison against poison and thus curing the mind
from ignorance.

  The mind which we call the Buddha mind is none other than the mind of living
beings. The only main difference is, the Buddha mind is not pre-occupied with ,
attached to, the things unrealized Buddhas are. What are unrealized Buddha but
living beings with no wisdom, virtue, moral; Patience, Compassion and Wisdom.
All are the same, all have certain characteristics. A living being puts down
their pre-occupied mind, all emotions and thoughts by not entertaining them with
emotion, desire.

  Constant practice of this leads to wisdom, compassion, patience. When all is
finally put down without a trace of defilement; emotional attachment, personal
desire, there is enlightenment. It was said in the Sixth Patriarch¡¯s Sutra,
¡°Karma ended and emotions empty, defines a true Buddha. Karma heavy and
emotions turbid, defines a living being¡±. People tend to think that having a
physical body means one is not a Buddha. On the contrary, without a physical
body, how can you become a Buddha?

  Utilizing the body, mind properly, one will become a Buddha. But, it is not
that one mysteriously, magically turns into a Buddha. It is that one¡¯s mind
transforms from filled with emotional imbalances, to no mind of emotion at all.
That doesn¡¯t mean a Buddha doesn¡¯t feel emotion and is dead emotionally. That
means the Buddha is not moved by emotion; when someone dies, an unrealized
Buddha usually cries in loss of the person. A Buddha knows that ¡°Life and
Death¡± are of the mind, and so no one is actually dying. That is the
difference.

  To be in the ups and downs of emotions is going with the flow of turbidity
because emotional ebbs and flows are but coverings to the actual truth of
conditions. Though people consider feelings to be pleasant and lively, this is
only because people think it to be that way. In actuality, there is no pleasant
and unpleasant. Living beings have a problem with this, because they are so used
to labeling and indulging in their good and bad feelings.

  This is the separation of the Buddha mind and the mind¡¯s of living beings. The
separation exists only because living beings cannot put down their likes and
dislikes, their views. The views of living beings is the dirt in the water, it
is the clouds covering the sky, and it is the blue color we call the sky. These
views, because of the strong attachment to them from living beings, deter the
concentration of mind from the original nature. What is the original nature?
It¡¯s simple, just meditate and find out.

  In this we realize that the Buddha mind and the defiled mind are only a thought
away. There is no real separation of Buddhas and living beings, yet there is
separation due to the views living beings hold onto.

Seeing the Buddha, is not really seeing the Buddha. Hearing the Buddha is not
really hearing the Buddha, becoming a Buddha is not really becoming a Buddha.
This means that if we see the form which we call a Buddha, it is because of our
own views that it is a Buddha¡¯s form. If we hear the voice of one we call the
Buddha because of the profundity of the teachings, it is only that way because
we view the teachings spoken to be profound. Becoming a Buddha is only viewed as
a becoming because of the defiled thoughts viewed of in the mind of the living
being.

It is due to our views of ego, others, a being and a life that there is a view
of separation of Buddhas and unrealized Buddhas. It is not enough to recite the
words of a Buddha, and speak in the manner of how a realized master would speak.
That is lying to oneself. What is proper is that once one realizes the way,
attains enlightenment; there is no difference between living beings and a
realized one. In this, there is no becoming a Buddha because there is nothing
that is transformed. What is experienced is only passing, not real, a bubble, a
dream, empty. Why use what is empty as a base for experience? Thus is such a
life of living beings.

 The group has been very much quiet.. haha
I'm going to go out on a limb here and post a video of an application of Single Whip. Keep
in mind that this is not the only manner for it, and it possibly is not an application many have seen.

To explain a bit: 

I step in and receive the person by redirecting and yielding my hip, and then as he is off center and such, continue to
work. He is trying to come in hard and counter, yet I advised him that if he finds himsels in no position to
counter, he should relax and go with the movements.

Single Whip

 Maybe it will bring about some conversations..

Peace and Happiness,
 Zi Quan

this lineage.  I am also a Tai Chi practitioner, heavily influenced by
Cheng Man Ching lineage.  I also practise arnis/eskrima style of Kalis

I am specifically interested in the Neigong of the Tso family and

Can anybody recommend a top teacher in these aspects please?

Much appreciated,  and thanks in advance.  You may reply to me

Hi YS

March 26th 1975 was the day he passed away and it will be 3
decades this Saturday.

Attached a coloured picture of Man-Ching which is quite
rare. He may be at his last years as I remember my first
coloured photo was around 1975. It must be 1 or 2 years
earlier in USA

Pantai Remis is a sleepy fishing village some miles after
Lumut, Perak. Judging by it's turn outs on proportion to
it's population it must be the highest in percentage.

I seen Master Wu twice last year and will see him again in
Octber. I'm not so lucky to be directly under his tutelage
but there are many dedicated instructors who are
unselfishly committed into teaching Tai Chi.

Can I know which Tai Chi group you are from ?
All the time I thought you are from Shen Long but seems you
are not.

Kind regards

ray

It was my mail preferences that did not allow graphic
displays but now it's okay when i changed it.

I am interested in a sword video recorded some years back
by Master Wu Kuo-Chung I heard that they still selling it
in Taiwan.

Attached a pic file of Master Wu in Pantai Remis last year.
Gee... I was there too :-)

HI YS

Yes you are right YS he was not in striking position or
normal posture. I think he was explaining something to the
student.

I have not seen Man-Ching in action at all but I heard that
some of his actions did change through the years.

I was told not to go into sword unless I have good
foundation on Tai Chi Chuan. Looks like it will take awhile
because the more I practice there are more new things come
to me, room for improvement all the time...

hi ys

im sorry the picture file i attached didnt come through.

we are living in a generation too late to see the grand
master. i heard that the student that could master tai chi
sword from him were about 50 of them, which was too few
when compare to tai chi chuan.

didnt see any movie files before. it must be in black and
white if any.

chances are quite slim because there were no video cams
those days.

let's share some thoughts from him :

" The most important reason for learning Tai Chi Chuan is
that when you have finally understood what life is about,
you still have enough health to enjoy it. "

Well, it may  be true that good instructors teach in
urban area especially KL. But then, accomodations in
KL could be reasonablly cheap if you choose to stay in
budget-hotels. In Shenlong Taichi, we learn and preach
only Traditional Taichi and we don't practisse other
forms of Wushu, let alone Yoga. You are welcome to
chat with us and perhaps we will tell you why. Thanks
and keep in touch.
Jokemin

Hello Tan Jokemin,

Thanks for your reaction.

The reason why I was thinking of a rural area, is because I would
like to
spend my days practising Yoga, meditation, and learn Tai Chi in a
quiet
environment. Also the cost of staying comes into it.
When I think about staying at a guesthouse in KL for a couple of
months,
this all seems to be more chaotic, and expensive...
I may be wrong about that though? If so, maybe you can let me know.
(It seems that the most senior teachers teach in KL?)

Would be nice if I could get a bit more of an idea about the
different
circumstances, in which a stay is possible (..plus cost?).

Greetings,
Axel

Hello,

Does anybody know a place in Malaysia where it is possible to stay for
a couple of months and study Tai Chi.
A place in a rural area would be ideal, but I don't know if such a
place exists. I would very much like to follow more than two lessons a
week.
Right now I stay in Thailand and am practicing Yoga
(asanas,energy-control techniques and meditation)at a forest tempel.
It would be nice if I could combine that with Tai Chi study in
Malaysia.

Thank you in advance,

Axel Saffran

Nice to stay there and refresh your Taichi skill. He

Good luck, JOKEMIN

I stumbled across this board quite pleasantly by
accident.  I was a student of Master Wu's over 20
years ago in Taiwan and unfortunately have let my Tai
Chi slide.  I remember Master Wu was talking about
making a video of the set, that would help me greatly
in restarting my training.  I'm located in USA.  Any
help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks
