The story illustrates a great difference between oriental and western thinking. But the oriental would realize that a man who has attained such complete mastery of an art reveals his presence of mind in every action. The state of wholeness and imperturbability demonstrated by the master indicated his mastery of self. And so it is with martial arts. To the westerner the finger jabs, the side kicks, and the back fist, etc, are tools of destruction and violence which is, indeed, one of their functions.

But the oriental believes that the primary function of such tools is revealed when they are self-distracted and destroy greed, fear, anger and folly. He is aiming his kicks and blows at himself and when successful, may even succeed in knocking himself out. After years of training, he hopes to achieve that vital loosening and equability of all powers which is what the three swordsmen saw in the master.

However, when face to face with an opponent in a deadly contest, the mind tends to stick and loses it mobility. Stick ability or stoppage is a problem that haunts every martial artist. Kwan — in avalokitesvara , the goddess of mercy, is sometimes represented with one thousand arms, each holding a different instrument.

If her mind stops will be of no use whatever, it is only because of her mind not stopping with the use of one arm, but moving from one instrument to another, that all her arms prove useful with the utmost degree of efficiency. The most poignant sense of insecurity comes from standing alone and we are not alone when we imitate. It is thus with most of us; we are what other people say we are. We know ourselves chiefly by hearsay. The void is all-inclusive, having no opposite--there is nothing which it excludes or opposes.

I'm like the moon underneath the waves that ever go on rolling and rocking. It is not, 'I am doing this,' but rather, an inner realization that 'this is happening through me,' or 'it is doing this for me. If one is anchored to a particular view, one will not be able to follow the swift movement of 'what is. The main characters of this combat, martial arts story are ,.

Thus the figure is meant to demonstrate that, when the ultimate truth is realized even as many as one thousand arms on one body may each be service able in one way or another. When anything is harbored there, psychic energy is drawn toward it, and when psychic energy loses its balance, its native activity becomes cramped and it no longer flows with the stream, where the energy is tipped, there is too much of it in one direction and a shortage of it in another direction.

Where there is too much energy, it overflows and cannot be controlled. In either case, it is unable to cope with ever — changing situations. True mastery transcends any particular art. It stems from mastery of oneself — the ability, developed through self — discipline, to be calm, fully aware, and completely in tune with oneself and the surroundings.
