Q

Dragon Code

A

I am what I am because I choose to be. I am a Dragon by choice and am subject to its laws. My brothers and sisters are my heart and my mind. Even though we may disagree with each other we still strive to be one, forgetting all categories and letting energy which wishes to exist, exist. But, as a Dragon, I must go forth to seek the Tao and the Void, understanding myself and finding peace within.

Q

What did Lung Pai express to his students about what is required of the master?

A

“More than just technique is required of the master. The master must also be deeply involved in philosophy. The master must seek the truth and allow no boundary to set a limit on his search. This is the master, one who is always beginning at the beginning regardless of his years of experience.”

Additional note in the manual:

No person regardless of his rank may stop practicing or learning. To stop means that one can no longer begin. Degrees are merely points on the circle, all being equal distance from the center, the Tao. Never let rank or lack of it cloud this truth.
