Vignette this Month: A Quotes from Deng Ming-Dao
Traditionally, I write a short paragraph or two on a topic. However, I so appreciated the below quote in a book I am reading that I decided it would be my vignette for the month. In my opinion, contained within these words are deep thoughts, even truth.
Everyone wants to be daring, creative, original. Everyone wants to do things in new ways. But unless we return over and over again to basics, we have no chance to truly soar. Do not forget the root. Without it, we can never issue forth true power.
Tradition is first. Mercy is greater than tradition. Wisdom is greater than mercy.
Those who consider their path superior are
....... condescending,
A parrot who speaks of the totality of the self
....... is absurd.
Many paths lead to the summit,
But it takes a whole body to get there.

Pictured on the computer screen during a ZOOM lesson is Dr. Paul Lam teaching
a move in Yang 24..Due to the pandemic, group in person lessons have ceased.
We discovered a new tool called ZOOM. We have been teaching Yang 24 using
Dr. Lam's online lessons along with my personal instructions. We have also made
use of YouTube.
