Ananda applying with Padmasambhava focus, her chi in the Iron Temple during a set of my Staccato Technique� DB Curls supervised by yours truly. Those of you who have known Ananda since her pre-WF and SUNRIDER herb Journey, quickly realize the astonishing Transformation in her Body. I know the degree of Transformation within her Mind and Spirit. So, how did she change her body and play judo with her Injuries and Weaknesses? SHE TRUSTS IN THE TEACHINGS and cements that Trust with daily sweat and stillness.There ain’t nothing like WF, baby…and there ain’t nothing like a WF Warrior..we TRUST in the TEACHINGS of our TEACHER: UNCONDITIONAL WHOLENESS, baby! Here is a great story of a quality that we all require during the Ups and Downs of a spiritual journey: Enduring Faith and Trust in our Teacher
One great master in the nineteenth century had a disciple who was very thick-headed. The master had taught him again and again, trying to introduce him to the nature of his mind. Still he did not get it. Finally, the master became furious and told him: �Look, I want you to carry this bag full of barley up to the top of that mountain over there. But you mustn�t stop and rest. Just keep on going until you reach the top.�
The disciple was a simple man, but he had unshakable devotion and trust in his master, and he did exactly as he had been told. The bag was heavy and it took him a long time.
At last, when he reached the top, he dropped the bag. He slumped to the ground, overcome with exhaustion, but deeply relaxed. All his resistance had dissolved, and with it his ordinary mind. At that instant, he suddenly realized the nature of his mind. He ran back down the mountain, and, against all convention, burst into his master�s room.
�I think I�ve got it now . . . I�ve really got it!�
His master smiled at him knowingly. �So you had an interesting climb up the mountain, did you?�
– Sogyal Rinpoche
Clowning about with my two Brother Warriors, both of whom would carry a UniVerse of Barley Bags up a UniVerse of mountains in order to Serve the Path of WF; Teacher Haku on my right and Teacher Q on my left while at our Red Mountain Spa WF Retreat last summer. Other personal training/fitness companies brag about how many “Certified Instructors” they have, and you always see all these pictures of these Newly Certified “this and that” type of “Teachers”.
Wanna know how many WF Certified Teachers there are on the Planet? No, not hundreds. Not thousands. Not Millions.
Five.
Yep. Five.
That’s including myself.
Since 1982…only four other humans have been Certified to Teach WF…not millions.
Sometimes, “Less is more.” Quality, not quantity. Humbleness, not Glitzy. Silent strength, not boisterous facades.
