  8. Virtue is...

    Here is an email I just received from a friend. Enjoy. Dr. Arun Gandhi, gandson of Mahatma Gandhi and founder of the M.K.Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence, in his June 9 lecture at the University of Puerto Rico, shared the following story: I was 16 years old and living with my parents at the institute my grandfather had founded 18 miles outside of Durban, South Africa, in the middle of the sugar plantations. We were deep in the country and had no neighbours, so my two sisters and I would always look forward to going to town to visit friends or go to the movies. One day, my father asked me to drive him to town for an all-day conference, and I jumped at the chance. Since I was going to town, my mother gave me a list of groceries she needed and, since I had all day in town, my father asked me to take care of several pending chores, such as getting the car serviced. When I dropped my father off that morning, he said, "I will meet you here at 5:00 p.m. , and we will go home together." After hurriedly completing my chores, I went straight to the nearest movie theatre. I got so engrossed in a John Wayne double-feature that I forgot the time. It was 5:30 before I remembered. By the time I ran to the garage and got the car and hurried to where my father was waiting for me, it was almost 6:00. He anxiously asked me, "Why were you late? "I was so ashamed of telling him I was watching a John Wayne western movie that I said, "The car wasn't ready, so I had to wait," not realizing that he had already called the garage. When he caught me in the lie, he said: "There's something wrong in the way I brought you up that didn't give you the confidence to tell me the truth. In order to figure out where I went wrong with you, I'm going to walk home 18 miles and think about it. " So, dressed in his suit and dress shoes, he began to walk home in the dark on mostly unpaved, unlit roads. I couldn't leave him, so for five-and-a-half hours I drove behind him, watching my father go through this agony for a stupid lie that I uttered. I decided then and there that I was never going to lie again. I often think about that episode and wonder, if he had punished me the way we punish our children, whether I would have learned a lesson at all. I don't think so. I would have suffered the punishment and gone on doing the same thing. But this single non-violent action was so powerful that it is still as if it happened yesterday. That is the power of non-violence. by Dr. Arun Gandhi, grandson of Mahatma Gandhi

  16. Virtue is...

    Awareness It is only through awareness that I can be virtuous. Untill I become aware of my impatience or intolerance I cannot change.

  21. Hitting Devices, Methods (?)

    Now that you mention I used to do a slapping - hand forearm upper arm -shoulder then reverse and turn arm over -upper arm- fore arm - hand. Same with legs. A swing will do the kidneys and side- A 90 degree turn will raise arms to hit chest and middle back - see BK Frantzis A deep sit swing will hit shoulders and center of back - see my sifu All swings have the benefit of whole integrated body movement. Breathing from dan tien and not getting out of breath. Much preferred to various forms of self flagellation.

    You might want to do some research into the church's method with leather straps They seemed very happy with their method
