Master Shi Heng Yi

But still, to answer the question, I do think three months, but dedicated training, yeah. And what would that training look like? So right now, as I explained before, this is why I also like in the book, I mentioned one of the grandmasters that I also learned a lot of the methods from. This is now, let's say, it's a stone. Stone belonging to the family of earth.

Now in Asian tradition, we have like the five elements or the five transition phases, right? wood earth metal fire water like these five elements so the proper training starts with the so-called wood training okay so we are using a lot of wooden material to actually condition our body So you're not going to break stones, you break like first of all wooden things.

After wood is no problem for you, then we go to the next layer, which is going to be stone. This was this one, for example, after stone comes metal. And so like this, we go through all the layers until your body has increased in its abilities. You know the frequency of wood, you know the frequency of stone, you know the frequency and vibration of metal.

Prior to somebody entering now, let's say, into the temple and wants to learn from there, first of all, we also as teachers want to find out What does the character of that personality already possesses? And these are, for example, what we are looking for are ultimately the virtues to be expected. Virtues to be expected are, for example, self-control. A certain amount of self-control.

A certain amount of discipline.

A certain amount of discipline.

You don't let your emotions run over you. Even if something makes you angry, but in this context, it's not honorable. It's not respectful to now shout out. You shouldn't do it. You should be able to maintain your emotional states, maintain your temper, let's say, also at least to a certain extent. This is where I would say it comes to self-control.

So discipline meaning you have, like I said, even if it's called the virtues to be expected. Expected means they should be visible somehow, but not to the fullest extent to what people are capable of. Discipline just meaning this understanding that if you come to the temple life,

you know it's going to be difficult to wake up every day at the same time and then start to go through the daily structure. So it needs some type of commitment, let's say. It needs some type of, I know it's hard, but I'm willing to do it, this type of discipline. This is also in a way expected. And then another one is simply to be benevolent as well.

Kind of. The virtues sometimes swim into each other, but this idea of why do we have these virtues in the first place? And again, it's like in Star Wars. The force, what you're learning, the cultivation of energy, the skills that you are learning, these are very, very powerful things.
