Dear Coach,
Glad you and Ananda had a great trip. Congratulations on the Arizona State Championship results! I know you do not race for the result, but your placing in the top 5 is amazing and further illustrates the WF paths potency! I bow to you and the example you gift to us all on this steep path.
With love and gratitude,
Student M Cerame

Greetings Coach,
Let me congratulate you on your inspiring performance at the State Championshits (I did that deliberately). In the end, we each must live with our choices. You can look yourself square in the eyes each morning. The others � will eventually look away from their own questioning stare in the mirror and know.

Hi Coach,
I hope you are doing fantastically!
I just did an Olympic Distance Triathlon in Pacific Grove, California.
Thanks to you and your work, I incorporated better breathing, yoga and herbs
during the whole event! Since my return from Red Mountain WF Immersion
weekend, I have done the HP Yoga video twice a week in addition to my other
training, and morning Pranayama. I am so grateful for your wisdom, your
books, videos…Thank you.

Ananda told me that you speak with your direct SunRider line folks – from
time to time – about herbs plans. I love Fortune Delight, Quinary, (I also use LiquiFive sometimes because
I love it), Vita Shake, Vita Fruit and Calli regular & Calli Night. I make
Ilg Supremes… Plus Action and Slim caps.
That is all for now. Thank You,
Elizabeth

Hello Shri,
I was deeply moved and inspired by your complimentary Daily WF Meditation web page. It was so full of wisdom and love that I barely got through it!! You and I seem to have many common interests, Coach Ilg, and I feel blessed to have connected with you.

Thank you for your time and invaluable teachings =)
Om shanti,
Andrew

Most Esteemed El Coache’,
My heart goes out to you in the wake of your “controversial” fifth-place finish. You gave it everything, only to be stripped of what should have been rightly yours. The only satisfaction you have is knowing that your Sangha knows the truth. Trust me, the other guy has no sangha, only cronies with whom to commiserate and crow about his latest “win.” Deep down in his heart, he knows it isn’t really his, and he’ll have to live with that.

Noble Coach:
5th Place at State Championships! Proud of you, proud to have a coach who does, in addition to teaches. The Dl was quite amusing, especially as regards the USCF follies. Well, that’s racing

“Dear Coach,
Glad to have you back from your trip! I’ve been visiting DL lately and I want to share my gratitude
for what you are doing. I’ve found an inspiring figure in you. I’ve read your book, Total Transformation and
I’m looking forward to reading Ai Imawa.

I’m also looking forward to using the Mala beads. I’m slowly changing myself and following the WF warrior
path. Slowly but surely…

I would like to try some Sunrider products but don’t know what to start with. If you would be kind enough
to give me some direction, I’d appreciate it very much. Thank you for your loving kindness.

In Tibet we say: �Negative action has one good quality: it can be purified.� So there is always hope. Even murderers and the most hardened criminals can change and overcome the conditioning that led them to their crimes. Our present condition, if we use it skillfully and with wisdom, can be an inspiration to free ourselves from the bondage of suffering.
– Sogyal Rinpoche

Coach Ilg, “clothed in the armor of perseverance,” teaches Cardiovascular Discipline as a spiritual tool in unique accordance with his spiritual Teachers Transmission. “WF has its roots in the world’s most elevated Spiritual Traditions…i have just stylized the Ancient Teachings taught to me using modern East/West Cross Training as the Dharma vehicle.”- Coach Ilg. Above LA Times photo is an often requested one from the WF Sangha and shows Coach during his current record holding effort in the Furnace Creek 508 race through Death Valley.

“What the world needs more than anything is bodhisattvas, active servants of peace, �clothed,� as Longchenpa said, �in the armor of perseverance,� dedicated to their bodhisattva vision and to the spreading of wisdom into all reaches of our experience. We need bodhisattva lawyers, bodhisattva artists and politicians, bodhisattva doctors and economists, bodhisattva teachers and scientists, bodhisattva technicians and engineers, bodhisattvas everywhere, working consciously as channels of compassion and wisdom at every level and in every situation of society; working to transform their minds and actions and those of others, working tirelessly in the certain knowledge of the support of the buddhas and enlightened beings for the preservation of our world and for a more merciful future.
– Sogyal Rinpoche
