Reflection On Being A Student
Of Lama Dondrup Dorje
“Whatever Sifu is involved in, he brings with him an energy, a fullness which seems to infuse the space around him. To spend time with Sifu is to regain your enthusiasm for life and your commitment to improve yourself in order to help others. Sifu is authentic in everything he does. He embodies what he teaches. Sifu's knowledge is not merely academic understanding; it comes from actual knowing, which comes from having accomplishment through practice. Sifu has the ability to make it happen there and then, right in front of your eyes.
I have found that Sifu's advice has never faltered. Every time I have asked Sifu for help or advice, what Sifu offered me was just the right prescription for the problem. His advice was always not what I had in mind, or even what I thought was related to the issue. However, when I followed this advice to the tee it worked perfectly for the benefit of all involved. What I have gained from being a student on the Classical Qigong Study is beyond measure. I now have better relationships with my parents, with my wife and my friends. At work I am able to deal with highly complex and high pressured situations calmly and with a sense of humour. In general I am more able to harmonise with what life throws at me and therefore I have much less stress in my life than before.”
