Good morning Friends of Chan,
If you recall, some months back, I shared with you, that Mark Troxell
from Pittsburgh, met our Master for the first time in Shanghai. Without
speaking a word of Chinese, was transmitted with Buddha Heart Imprint,
by our Master who does not speak English. After that Mark is seeing
thousands of lights within himself every time. Just as I was taught and
as stated in Buddhist sutra.
Of course, Mark does have a unique background. He has been practicing
both Chinese martial arts and Japanese zen for 37 years. Upon their
meeting, our Master "sensed" that and "open up the curtain" for Mark.
These are in Mark's own words.
What I like to share with you is what Mark shared with us in one of our
classes. He said...
The blossoming of a lotus flower is based on strong roots which
continuously absorbs the basic elements from earth, a stem which
continuously processes and supports, and leaves which transforms and
processes and be ready for the right season.
The absorption of the "basic elements of the earth" turns into the
energy within the flower, while the leaves transforms and processes the
universal wisdom.
While too often we focus only on the flower..
Thank you for your attention,
JMJM
