Mystic Window
Be on the lookout for any confrontations or disputes that arise. When they occur, end them quickly and with great resolve. Yielding in the face of a greater force is the way of the Tao.
Retreat rather than be overwhelmed.
Poem — Sifu John A. Fey
There is opposition and argument
That calls for the caution Of a soaring bird watching
A sleeping tiger.
Punch, Earth, Speeches, Justice, Mountain's base, Calmness, Prepare
Alchemic Wisdom — Yao Tsi (Line Verses)
Line 1
Embody the Qi of new directions and new intent.
Allow small words to be spoken and heard.
But, pay them no mind.
Line 2
You cannot sustain or support the conflict.
Return home and nourish
The three places.
Line 3
Embrace the power and virtue of the Tao past.
Learn from it and have no regrets.
Ignore it and unending danger will follow.
Line 4
Embrace Heaven's way of returning
To the earth
Line 5
Let the conflicting Qi drop from your hand, Returning it to the ground from which it sprang
Line 6
Accept the mystic belt that binds your life.
It will vanish when the three wanderers
Come forward.
With simple order and peacefulness.
