“Since meeting Sifu my life has now gained a purpose when before there was none. My life had been going from one job to the next, constantly wondering what life was about. Thanks to Sifu I now have a direction to my life. I am learning to change and improve myself to become a better, more caring, more compassionate person. I now work as a language teacher, but once I worked as a prison officer in London. In those days I took pride in being judgemental as well as very image conscious. All these factors meant that life was challenging for me, because I made it so. Since meeting Sifu, I have managed to reduce these negative emotions and find I am a lot more relaxed, happier and seem able to cope with everyday situations a lot more effectively than before. Sifu is the most compassionate and wise being I have met. He is able to help people and guides them in a way that is unique. He always put other people before himself and works tirelessly for the benefit of others. I am perpetually inspired by all that he does and hope one day to walk as far down the path as Sifu has, so that I too can be of benefit to others.”
