Voidness is that which stands right in the middle between this and that. The void is all-inclusive, having no opposite--there is nothing which it excludes or opposes. It is living void, because all forms come out of it and whoever realizes the void is filled with life and power and the love of all beings.

I'm not a master. I'm a student-master, meaning that I have the knowledge of a master and the expertise of a master, but I'm still learning. So I'm a student-master. I don't believe in the word 'master.' I consider the master as such when they close the casket.

If every man would help his neighbor, no man would be without help.
Bruce Lee
Image
Art lives where absolute freedom is, because where it is not, there can be no creativity.

If you want to do your duty properly, you should do just a little more than that.

When you're talking about fighting, as it is, with no rules, well then, baby you'd better train every part of your body!

Remember, Life is a journey, not a destination.
