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)
1. Embody the Qi of new directions and new intent.
Allow small words to be spoken and heard.
But, pay them no mind.
You cannot sustain or support the conflict.
Return home and nourish
The three places.
Embrace the power and virtue of the Tao past.
Learn from it and have no regrets.
Ignore it and unending danger will follow.
Embrace Heaven's way of returning
To the earth
Let the conflicting Qi drop from your hand, Returning it to the ground from which it sprang
Accept the mystic belt that binds your life.
It will vanish when the three wanderers
Come forward.
With simple order and peacefulness.
