I’m just hypnotized by the voice , I can’t stop watching and describe the feeling. I lost my father exactly one year ago and I regret not spending time with him being far away and not being close to him in any way . I will always carry this pain with me . Watching now you talking about your life decisions and your father made me cry and I don’t think I’m watching this video accidentally. Nothing happens by coincidence
:3 Shi Heng Yi explained how he feels Asian dads have a different vibe than others. Even if Shi was around his dad, and clearly disagreed with him, he wouldn't even hint that he disagreed, out of respect. He then laughed about it, since his dad has passed, and that was in the past. He had a lot of tension with his parents, but he stayed by his dad in his last year by living in Germany with him. I have heard by plenty of Asians how strict and backwards this idea can be to not question authority and how beatings done in normal parenting have counterproductive effects.
Same here. I didn’t see my mother for years then she passed away unexpectedly and I was Too sick to get on a plane. So I carried so much pain and regret but I decided after getting sicker because of the emotional stress I was causing myself, I decided to let go of the guilt and allow my mother’s memory to be celebrated instead of the regret. I began to celebrate her memory daily. Master Shi taught a very valuable lesson today which I gather applies to letting go of pain and bad energy in order to continue your life journey unblocked. Not to say there won’t be road blocks incoming, I’m just saying it frees you when you let go of pain. I hope the best for you. I wish you love and happiness.😊
As a former foster child, I am thankful to have had the opportunity to live a stable and overall happy childhood. It prepared me with the virtues to live thankfully, graciously, and sensitively toward others. I am now in my 50s, and I have always had a strong inner discipline and inner- affinity for the Eastern practice. I am thankful now for hearing your story, Master Yi.
Dear Shifu Shi Heng Yi, I couldnt help to comment on this particular talk because I could relate several topics you touched on, especially respecting elders. I have so much to say but would like to share my story and keep it short. I am now living in San Francisco, California. I am Vietnamese Chinese and settled in the US as refugee in the early teen in the 80's. I am the oldest child of 5 and would say I am probably the same generation as your parents. I was my parents right-hand child since I was a kid and was conditioned to respect elders. I have been blessed with many things including family, good family value, good education, meaningful career and Buddhist teaching. Looking back in my life, I lived through some major life changing events including the war, my parents passing before I was able to pay them back, my health, and 2 suicides (my youngest brother and my son). The most devastating moment in my life was my 14 years old boy suicide that happened few years ago. My soul was left broken in pieces that I did not know how to pick them up and carry on. One of the most impactful healing channels was the Buddhist teaching and prayers. From there, I grieved and found myself growth. I also found your teaching through Ted Talk and had followed most of your UA-cams and read your newsletters since. I found them healing and soul soothing. It helped me tremendously to understand how human life works. Although I have so much to learn. I can say I am very content today. I will continue this path and I am looking forward to absorb your wisdom and teaching. Side note, I was in Berlin once for a scientific conference and hope I can visit your monastery and attend the retreat one day. Until then I wish you and the Shaolin Temple Europe well. Amitofo.
I am so sorry for your loss and I cannot even imagine how painful those events have been for you. I hope that in the times when your feeling weighed down by different things that you may not only have those you can reach out to , techniques you can apply and the universal embrace of Divine Love to comfort and stregthen you.
One of the things he talks about is someone coming to the temple and asking him, "How do I forgive my parents?" He explained that he did not have an answer because he understood and appreciated the lessons his parents taught him. Even the ones taught with a bamboo stick. I have some wisdom- that admittedly is not my own. It was taught to me by my mother. You don't forgive for their sake. You forgive for yours. In forgiving someone you, let go of the negative emotions that are attached to their transgression. The anger, fear, sadness, and anxiety, will fester inside you. That only hurts you- not them. It accomplishes nothing but prolong the suffering. Forgiveness is a step on the way to healing, learning, and growing. Life is a learning experience. That is it's only true purpose. If you are evolving you are succeeding. Humbly submitted.
Namaste 🙏 Shifu Shi Heng Yi ❤. Thank you. Da mein Vater vor 11 Monaten von mir gegangen ist ist es gut einen Menschen zu kennen der Lehrer und Vater für einen sein kann. ❤
I am Asian and I strongly agreed with you👍👍👍 we cannot disagree parents nor loose their faces specially in public,, as I was growing up we are not even allowed to talk back for reasoning by the time they're giving us lectures or when they're correcting us because it's a sign of disrespect.
You asked “why I follow you”… in this talk you say your life’s work must resonate with your being and ideals over just doing a work for a certain salary. I feel this too. This is alignment with my vision for how I want to be in the world. I am very grateful for Internet and social media making it possible for me to receive this message and be a part of this conversation with you and other humans who feel like this🤗
We are blessed Master U are influencing a lost generation...... U are making a big difference... In reforming the people of this sad sad world.. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Truly hopeful now I'm learning from him. I do feel lost and disconnected from my mind and it's not a good thing. Now I'm seeing my body in a different way where I value myself. 😌 so grateful 🙏🏾
Hello Shi Heng Yi your teachings are rich in assisting how to raise children and to respect our parents. I am a believer in God and Jesus Christ. I am open to listening to your teachings of Bodchita. You are sharing and opening the eyes, minds, and spirit of those that want to go deeper in wisdom, knowledge and discipline. Thank you and God make you live a long and full filled life in the Monestary.
Honour and respect are the fundamental principles of anyone who wishes to learn and grow. As you saw something in your new master, so we saw something in you and people here wanted to ask you to be our master in the same way. The ancestors had and do have wisdom and skills obtained over their lifetimes and similarly their ancestors imparted knowledge to them gained over many lifetimes - this is something that is invaluable to keep the martial art form pure and unadulterated. Any person who criticises the way something is being taught fails to grasp this concept. I am honoured to grow with you and in turn to watch you grow in the path of your master and ultimately my master also. Thank you 🙏 for this opportunity - I had just made some Matcha Tea as the notification came up of your video this evening, which was so perfectly timed. It is beautiful to share this peaceful time together and gain a deeper insight into the Shaolin way, many many blessings 🙏 Shifu Shi Heng Yi.
Wow! I thought Shifu never laughed...this is the samsara should be, sipping tea with Shifu and receiving Dharma from Shifu...the land of Amitabha! 🙏 Detachment, equanimity, impermanence, begininglessness, endlessness. 🙏
I tried to get recognition from my dad all my living life time to no avail ,but never stopped loving him ! When he was in his last days of cancer . There was a car show, which he loved to see. I put him in a wheelchair and spent most of the day looking at cars. Afterward, on the way to the hospital, he sent me into a corner store to buy him two chocolate bars. When I gave him the chocolate bars, he gave me one. I told him I couldn't eat chocolate! Suprised, he said he always sent me chocolate for Christmas gift. Why haven't you ever told me that you can't eat chocolate? I said "yes and the family loved getting chocolate. I'm always thankful for the gift. That is when he stood up and gave me a hug saying "he loved me" I waited 52 years to hear those three words. He died the next morning. Rip.
@@jacksnstaffs8293 cats won’t eat anything they don’t wanna. Best practice , no. Super big deal if cat has a crisp? I dunno. It seemed like playful cat stuff to me.
My soul has strong communication with yours I watch your videos all day but your strength & influences on me I can’t explain, I still not practicing but I listen to your wisdom & u have upper capacities than normal people on earth & u ll b very famous the world need your vibration very very much
Dear Shi Heng Yi, Thank you for having the flexibility of thought & deed, to bravely venture beyond stagnation & tradition, in order to share your compassionate teachings in these changing times. Your timing seems impeccable. These changes are welcomed & needed right now 💥🙏
Dear Shifu, Thank you for this immeasurably beneficial and kind compassionate talk and teaching. I understand. I will honour your instructions and am infinitely grateful that you have accepted us as your students in this setting, and even more that you are taking such time and effort to lay out the rules and explain these core concepts and principles in a way that we can understand and follow. I will Practice More as you have instructed until you return. And also study the essence of Chan and Zen Buddhism as you have instructed. I feel the gravity of the master-student you have accepted and how seriously you take your responsibilities. I promise to respect and honour this blessing you have bestowed on us also. And I am filled with particular joy at having been accepted into this ancient and beautiful tradition by yourself, albeit in this unconventional online format . I look forward to the next Tea Talk and trainings. This change that you have instigated is what I have been searching for, for such a long time. I am so grateful to you, words are inadequate to express how much the teachings you share and your clear compassion and care for us all, mean to me and benefit me and my loved ones. May your training and retreat run impeccably well and may you know the joy of success as you immerse yourself further into new depths of mastery. With great respect and gratitude, Amituofo 🙏😌❤️💛💐
To walk the path of enlightenment is to see everything in love😍 to respect to honour🤲🏻to accept without judgement🙏🏻this is the path of ascent and mastery 💫 the path of the soul✨to its origin- unconditional love💛💫✨ I like you so much Shifu🙏🏻and your voice is so peaceful 🤲🏻🕊️and touched my💗 ..😍🙏🏻💮💫✨
Shi Heng Yi, I only got to know you a few months ago and since then I've been training online with your videos. I am very grateful for having found your youtube channel and being able to access the knowledge that you shared there. For me this talk is a gift where I can see your integrity and freedom. With the zen Buddhist teachings that I started to practice in the last 10 years, I was able to explore other horizons beyond the culture where I was born and raised. Today I feel deeply connected to the values you are referring to. I wish you much light on your path. See you soon.
Shifu, people with a sharp mind like yours are always challenging, that's a natural gift! Condolences for your beloved father, my dear, you carry with you a very honorable legacy. Respects!
Bless you Shi Heng Yi 🙏🏻 thank you for your sharing …. So much of your story I relate to …. I lost my father age 13 to cancer and 6 weeks ago my mother passed away…. I had not seen her for 4 years and did not make it in time to go home … I’m devastated beyond words. I don’t know how to move past this. You are a beautiful soul.
I love how present and calm you are in everything you do. It seems like a lot of things in this world are a stressor. To see this is a breath of fresh air 🌬🍵🙏🏻
A life full of anger and violence has changed with positive thinking, appreciating the smalls things, being grateful, surrounding myself around good people and watching videos and following people like this man. Thank you.
Pero justamente, porque enseña Chi Kung para La Salud, que armoniza holísticamente al ser humano, es increíble que elija como próximo maestro a ese advenedizo, violento y mercenario. Habla en sus videos de bondad, de paz, de no agresión, que considero todo muy sincero. Por eso su decisión es para mí, incomprensible. ¿Sinceramente? Continuaré únicamente con el profesor español Iván Trujillo, en Alquimia Interna. Y comenzaré con un profesor chino próximamente-en forma presencial, que ahora es posible-en mi ciudad. Saludos
Your character, strength, talents and abilities will carry you through what ever destination you choose. Never put a limitation on your personal growth.
Dear Shi Heng Yi. If I may say so I think this talk is a perfect, and rare, example of true humility and the power of inner truth! Thank you for sharing. 🥰
Dear Shifu Shi Heng Yi, I just wanted to let you know that every time I do the Qi Gong video I send you a lot of love and gratitude, hopefully you'll send me some of yours and peace! I live in a country with extreme chaos, your talks and videos are helping me to cope with it all and remain calm the best I can! Whenever I start to feel like it's getting to me I either watch your talks and lectures or practice Qi Gong. Many many thanks for all the good and all the people you are helping. Love from Lebanon, Sue.
Thank you for this comment Sue, so moving.. It does really make me understand even more that Qi Gong and all the philosophy and martial arts linked to it, are not just a practice for privileged new-age wealthy Western Europeans with lots of time in their hands... but rather a practice for inner strengh and peace for everyone on this Planet, despite of the circumstances they live in, and actually important in circumstances of fight, struggle and war. Thank you. Stray strong and peaceful.
Dear Anna, thank you for your kind words. Yes, I have found from my personal experience that it helps me to maintain some level of calm and peace in overwhelming situations. I hope it does the same for you as well. Stay strong and may the blessings be 🙏💙
Dear Master, I hope you will enjoy the new environment and people over there. I hope you will come back soon. How long is your absence? All the best and thank you for what you have done for your followers (including me) and community. Thanks.
I love the path of your view on life. I may not have agreed with aspects of my parents method of raising me but I never thought I had to forgive them. They were products of how they were raised and I’m thankful for what I learned from life with them.
Thank you for these very inspiring tea talks, Shi Hengyi Shifu and for all the other videos. They are such a blessing to all of us who are looking for deeper meaning of our existence. Change is the only constant in our lives. When the inner call arises, nothing can stop it. We are all going through some kind of transitions at these times. Your guidance, experience, teachings, suggestions and thoughts you shared through different videos helped me personally go through the biggest change of this life and I can only send you blessings, love and peace in return. You're so ready for your new master. I wish you you to have a wonderful journey to your inner peace and already looking forward for the new sharings that shall come when the time is right. Until then, we shall practice, practice and practice. 😊🙏😊
Yes, the practice videos are important. But, I find these “tea talk” episodes are far more important and required due to the explanation and understanding of the core for the teachings toward one’s self-mastery. Please don’t stop sharing your thoughts and teachings to help us better understand you and the essence, so that maybe these insights can help us became a better human being, especially as a whole. It has certainly forever opened up my mind and it wouldn’t have happened without you. And now I can even use the practices to better enhance and motivate myself. I am thankful for your decision to share and to promote awareness for all mankind. Bless you with much more strength and love! Glad you are relaxed! I feel you and must say that I believe you are heading in the right direction, even with complications on this journey. 😅👍
"The change is here." Change brings new perspectives, new experiences, new understandings and a new "you", a new "me". Change removes stagnation and allows stimulation, inspiration and aspiration. Shi Heng Yi, you have been remarkably courageous in the way that you have lived your life - on your own terms. As our shifu, our teacher, our father, you have earned our deepest respect and oneness the moment we began to practice with your videos and listen to your talks and interviews. I love these tea talks as you express your inmost feelings, intentions and wisdom. May we, your students, continue to follow you in the way that you speak of, with our loving admiration and appreciation for who you are and who you are becoming. 🙏
This was very thought-provoking.. It hit home for me... It was nice for you to share some of your personal life Shifu... My condolences to you and your family for the loss of your father.. I lost my mother to cancer as well... Forgiveness is especially hard when it comes to family... Growing up wasn't the easiest for me either.. I have always admired the martial arts one being of the respect that is learned and earned... I had to smile when you spoke of your youth and not being the easiest to deal with.. but you had enough of intuitiveness and strong mindfulness to choose and to know where your path lies☝🏻... That's admirable if you ask me .. This stagnation you speak of... I know this... stagnation = death.. I am quite familiar with this term... I am 100% behind you Master Shi Heng Yi for whatever decisions you make for moving your life forward.... With all due respect to Grandmaster Jiang Yu Shan I would not be at all surprised if he learns a couple things from you too Shifu... 🙏🏻☮️🙏🏻
I am grateful and appreciate the time you took to share these thoughts Shifu. Many thanks and look forward to more inspiring and reflective lessons. hope you are well.
“And because I built it up, I can build it up again” and yes, life 🌀 is just like that. We rise, we may fall, and we will rise again! Growth is change and much respect for that. On another note: (unrelated to any of the teachings but more so the asian culture itself) As an asian woman, I totally understand the hierarchy and family face and I can respect the tradition. Growing up I bit my tongue and played small so that others would feel comfortable in their superiority and let their ego stroke. In that dysfunct, I left that community to find myself healing for years from the traumas it brought me. Of course now I understand that in life we were placed in these situations in order to build ourselves up. Sometimes it takes standing up for your truth to make a change though. If I were my ancestors, I would respect that too.
I have found, like you, that enduring hardship "builds character" and makes you a better person. The shaolin lifestyle teaches you how to grow from such adversities, at least as my current understanding goes.
Master Shi Heng Yi - again Vielen Dank - Hoffentlich erreicht Ihre Botschaft viele Menschen. Wuensche Ihnen viel Erfolg auf Ihrer neuen Reise!!! Adler nehmen keine Flugstunden bei Tauben ! - "Gehe Deinen eigenen Weg dann kannst Du Dich nicht verlaufen!" - Das groesste Gefaengnis in dem Menschen Leben ist die Angst davor was andere ueber Sie denken!!! ...es gibt nur einen richtigen Weg: Deinen Eigenen!!! ..... das Leben ist wie ein Fahrrad. Man muss sich bewegen um das Gleichgewicht nicht zu verlieren! (A.Einstein)...... und Fuerchte Dich niemals vor Veraenderung! Fuerchte Dich vor Stillstand(lao Tse). Gruss aus Dubai - KRISTIN
Not only did I make tea (which is less than once a year, although I have over 5 teaboxes in my cupboard), but my attention was taken the entire time. I wish you the best in all you wish to achieve and manifest. I applaud you for taking this frontline approach in bringing more light to these topics via these platforms..Very new age we live in, and I support what you have begun. I appreciate you sharing all you have, about your family especially. Much love and respect 🙏
Shifu. A loving and respectful relationship w a teacher, master, parent/son/daughter. Listening with rapt attention. Everyone must be mindful of the inner and outer management they must do because without it no true answer can come. 🙏🕉📿
I have so many things in my mind that I would like to say, but accept thank you as being enough said. I have been searching for a long time and now I have found.🙏
Master Shi Hen Yi. Much gratitude for all that you give unconditionally. This to me is real universal love. So thank you so much from the bottom of my chiheart.🙏🏽☀️💖
🙏🏾 I have so much respect for you Master. I am so grateful and full of appreciation for your teaching. Wishing you all the learning and deepening you need for your journey. I am changed by coming across you. So many blessings and love to you Shifu.🙏🏾 Thank you for bringing us back to deeper understanding and respect...like a Father would do...with love.
Very nice speech it’s absolutely my life motto you can only be good in something which you love second don’t do things you don’t like to do because you want to please people I am living already 26 years in Asia ( china, Malaysia, Vietnam) it changed my life. i don’t live to work I work to live. Thanks for Sharing Shi Heng Yi 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Dear Shifu Shi Heng Yi, I thank you for considering us part of the Shaolin community and reminding us what it means to be part of this community. Words are not enough to express all my gratitude for everything you have taught us so far and for the positive changes you have brought to our lives. All I can say is that your father would be very proud of you - may his soul be blessed. For the rest, I will honor your teaching by practicing every day. Wishing you an enriching journey in this new period of your life. Truly committed, Myriam.
Dear teacher, everything you do for all of us is noble and thank you from the bottom of my heart. I was born in Serbia and I know what you are talking about. In my country, older people are also respected, starting with father and mother ... grandparents ..... and the family tree is known. It is inconceivable that a man in life strives for a goal ... and to be successful, if there is no peace in the soul. If we are in a quarrel with someone, especially with our parents, then we do not even have the blessing for the right path in our lives. I love China for many reasons. I also understand what you want to tell us with this video. Greetings to you Shi Heng Yi
Greetings "Shifu"! 😇 I am former Navy, now a retired Chaplain in GOD's Special Forces... I learned the wonderful art of Wah-Lum Kung Fu from a sixth generation Grand master who became my Sifu at a Wah-Lum Temple he built in Orlando Florida and it was like I was magically transformed to China. I haven't been practicing as actively as I would like to because of deteriorating arthritis in my hip joints and lower back, but I still practice Tai-Chi which is alot more lower impact on my joints...so I've been following your teachings and Tea Talks...very refreshing to experience the non-diluted sacred teachings of a true master and yet love the clarifying ways you explain your concepts of wisdom with such humility. Thank you so much...appreciate you and your teachings and getting much health benefits from practicing your breathing and strength exercises and stretches. Thank you and GOD bless you and keep utilizing you mightily. Will be praying for you...in 2022 and the monks and students at your sacred Shaolin Temple.
It is so great to see you on this Tea Talk Master Shi you look more relaxed and happy again, it’s all that matters. The patterns are moving demanding transcendence, such is the rhythm of life. New ways we’re learning of how to build the new; based in the past. Thank you for you words of wisdom. ✨🙏✨
Much gratitude and Respect Shifu🙏🏼. Your videos introduced me to Qi Gong during the challenging months of heavy lockdown. Ive been practicing since, learning the routines, following your online videos and listening to your guidance, although videos are the tip of a beautiful and deep iceberg of teachings, practicing them has been beneficial to increase my mental and physical self awareness, I’ve started to notice some of my own reactions and thoughts more carefully, which helps me on the ( long 😄) journey of becoming a better and happier human being. In addition, I recently had the opportunity to join a Fang Song Gong Qi Gong retreat at the monastery with Shifu Shi Heng Zuan 🙏🏼 a daily practice that makes me feel calmer and more centred, watching your ted talk and videos has lead me here, and I’m so happy and thankful for that 🙏🏼. You have reached the hearts and minds of many, it’s for each of us to make the commitment to ourselves and find ways to put this wonderful teachings into practice♥️. Much gratitude and respect to you , to Shifu Shi Heng Zuan and to everyone at the Shaolin Temple Europe for welcoming us so warmly and kindly 🙏🏼
Master Shi Heng Yi, listening to you talk makes me feel very reassured, as you have a very calm, stable presence. Thank you for the valuable content that you release for free. I am a Westerner but have been living in Japan for several years, so I am familiar with the importance of respect and hierarchy. However, this concept is very difficult for me to follow personally, especially when it comes to my father. He is a very angry, verbally abusive person who does not treat people with respect. In the past, he has done many horrible things to hurt my other family members, which makes it difficult for me to feel close with him. When I visit him, I feel suffocated, I feel like I have to pretend to agree with the ill ways he speaks about others, his racist ways of thinking, etc. I understand he is still my father, but it may be impossible for me to respect him. Maybe working on forgiveness is the first step. It's a struggle.
I understand how horrible being stagnant can be. When life holds routine but no inspiration or purpose, it’s absolutely crippling. So, I understand your search. I’m new to this channel and have no idea what it means that you’ve received a new master and how that impacts what you do now, but I wish you peace and clarity on that journey. I just recently came out of a stagnant funk myself and am so full of joy at having a new motivation, even if it is something small.
I Liked the time very much you were taken with dog and cat to check out your portal to the outside world 😉 thank your for being funny, too…Humor makes it easy to connect
One more time, I've learned a lot with your words. In this Tea Talk, I could feel the Tao and its principles acting wtih you. Enjoy your journey; enjoy your moment; enjouy your life even when you don't know where this effort will lead you...the great treasure is the path and how we act in it. Thanks a lot again.
Dear master; you have been the fusion of all the divided knowledge that I have been able to find on this side. Although the difference of practicing raw and online is incomparable, you don't get an idea of the great change you are making by sharing these teachings. There are many seekers in the west. I look forward to a deeper understanding to integrate these practices. I am extremely grateful to have met you. I hope one day to be your disciple there in Europe. Love from Argentina shifu
I am glad to have another tea talk from you, Shi Zheng Yi. They are helpful. I’ve had many teachers in Qigong etc in my life. Something was missing. I enjoy that you explain where the breath goes and why. I looked up Jiang Huo Shan. His life has been dedicated to so many aspects of Chinese arts. I’ve been incapacitated for 3 weeks now but with a change in diet, some of the easier routines you post, and your motivation, I am helped greatly. I can only do about an hour a day presently but I walked 4 miles today, which is a kind of miracle. I worked through the pain, enjoying nature and the waterbody, forgetting what I thought I couldn’t do. When this illness began it was like being hit hard, knocked down. My life came to a halt. I lost 15 pounds because I could not eat. Luckily I had TCM style both that I could sip after 4 days. Slowly I built up strength forcing myself to make shiitake soup. Your posts encouraged me to be strong. While down, I thought about my family. Your talk today enlightened all that. I’ve been able to disregard issues that were problems with other people around me now. Shaolin Temple presents a comprehensive way of life. You are an important spokesperson and role model. Many thanks for all the videos.
Dear Master, I just watch your Tea Talk 2. Thanks for sharing and I fully understand and appreciate what you said. Thank you again for you teachings and wisdom. All the best for your new journey.
Shifu, This was a great sharing of wisdom and reflections on the meaning of the Shifu concept. My deepest condolences on your father's passing (my father also passed away due to cancer in 2013). Even though I am new to Grandmaster Jiang Yu Shan and am aware of his breadth of experience, as I keep listening to his teachings I keep feeling that sensation I get when I am impressed by the precise and specific wisdom I am witnessing someone share (especially as it blends in with other valuable lessons and concepts I have learned and found very useful through yoga and other spiritual disciplines). I have had that feeling of being impressed and filled with respect towards you and also towards Grandmaster Jiang Yu Shan. I am excited at this opportunity you have ahead of you and wish you the best of growth in all areas. Sincere thanks and respect for all you do and share with us!
The cat and dog and chips makes me smile .
same😂
I’m just hypnotized by the voice , I can’t stop watching and describe the feeling. I lost my father exactly one year ago and I regret not spending time with him being far away and not being close to him in any way . I will always carry this pain with me . Watching now you talking about your life decisions and your father made me cry and I don’t think I’m watching this video accidentally. Nothing happens by coincidence
:3 Shi Heng Yi explained how he feels Asian dads have a different vibe than others. Even if Shi was around his dad, and clearly disagreed with him, he wouldn't even hint that he disagreed, out of respect.
He then laughed about it, since his dad has passed, and that was in the past. He had a lot of tension with his parents, but he stayed by his dad in his last year by living in Germany with him. I have heard by plenty of Asians how strict and backwards this idea can be to not question authority and how beatings done in normal parenting have counterproductive effects.
It doesn't happen by chance it is call Synchronicity. Keep believing and watching out for them!
Same here. I didn’t see my mother for years then she passed away unexpectedly and I was Too sick to get on a plane. So I carried so much pain and regret but I decided after getting sicker because of the emotional stress I was causing myself, I decided to let go of the guilt and allow my mother’s memory to be celebrated instead of the regret. I began to celebrate her memory daily. Master Shi taught a very valuable lesson today which I gather applies to letting go of pain and bad energy in order to continue your life journey unblocked.
Not to say there won’t be road blocks incoming, I’m just saying it frees you when you let go of pain. I hope the best for you. I wish you love and happiness.😊

As a former foster child, I am thankful to have had the opportunity to live a stable and overall happy childhood. It prepared me with the virtues to live thankfully, graciously, and sensitively toward others. I am now in my 50s, and I have always had a strong inner discipline and inner- affinity for the Eastern practice. I am thankful now for hearing your story, Master Yi.
Your voice and energy are calming.. beautiful experience
Dear Shifu Shi Heng Yi, I couldnt help to comment on this particular talk because I could relate several topics you touched on, especially respecting elders. I have so much to say but would like to share my story and keep it short. I am now living in San Francisco, California. I am Vietnamese Chinese and settled in the US as refugee in the early teen in the 80's. I am the oldest child of 5 and would say I am probably the same generation as your parents. I was my parents right-hand child since I was a kid and was conditioned to respect elders. I have been blessed with many things including family, good family value, good education, meaningful career and Buddhist teaching. Looking back in my life, I lived through some major life changing events including the war, my parents passing before I was able to pay them back, my health, and 2 suicides (my youngest brother and my son). The most devastating moment in my life was my 14 years old boy suicide that happened few years ago. My soul was left broken in pieces that I did not know how to pick them up and carry on. One of the most impactful healing channels was the Buddhist teaching and prayers. From there, I grieved and found myself growth. I also found your teaching through Ted Talk and had followed most of your UA-cams and read your newsletters since. I found them healing and soul soothing. It helped me tremendously to understand how human life works. Although I have so much to learn. I can say I am very content today. I will continue this path and I am looking forward to absorb your wisdom and teaching. Side note, I was in Berlin once for a scientific conference and hope I can visit your monastery and attend the retreat one day. Until then I wish you and the Shaolin Temple Europe well. Amitofo.
I am so sorry for your loss and I cannot even imagine how painful those events have been for you. I hope that in the times when your feeling weighed down by different things that you may not only have those you can reach out to , techniques you can apply and the universal embrace of Divine Love to comfort and stregthen you.

Thenk you for being!
“Respect and honour your line of ancestors where you have your mind and body from.” The greatest sentence ever constructed in modern day mere bliss.
My very good friend don't want forgive his father because he beats his mother and let them many time starve meanwhile he was with his mafia friends.
This is the essence of Asian culture: Respect your parents and your elders!
One of the things he talks about is someone coming to the temple and asking him,
"How do I forgive my parents?"
He explained that he did not have an answer because he understood and appreciated the lessons his parents taught him. Even the ones taught with a bamboo stick.
I have some wisdom- that admittedly is not my own. It was taught to me by my mother.
You don't forgive for their sake. You forgive for yours. In forgiving someone you, let go of the negative emotions that are attached to their transgression. The anger, fear, sadness, and anxiety, will fester inside you. That only hurts you- not them. It accomplishes nothing but prolong the suffering. Forgiveness is a step on the way to healing, learning, and growing.
Life is a learning experience. That is it's only true purpose. If you are evolving you are succeeding.
Humbly submitted.
Namaste 🙏 Shifu Shi Heng Yi ❤. Thank you. Da mein Vater vor 11 Monaten von mir gegangen ist ist es gut einen Menschen zu kennen der Lehrer und Vater für einen sein kann. ❤
Shi Heng Yi 🙏🏼🕯️
I am Asian and I strongly agreed with you👍👍👍 we cannot disagree parents nor loose their faces specially in public,, as I was growing up we are not even allowed to talk back for reasoning by the time they're giving us lectures or when they're correcting us because it's a sign of disrespect.
Thank you Sifu. It is a blessing to have someone like you to look up to.
You asked “why I follow you”… in this talk you say your life’s work must resonate with your being and ideals over just doing a work for a certain salary. I feel this too. This is alignment with my vision for how I want to be in the world. I am very grateful for Internet and social media making it possible for me to receive this message and be a part of this conversation with you and other humans who feel like this🤗
We are blessed Master
U are influencing a lost generation...... U are making a big difference... In reforming the people of this sad sad world.. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
People like to make a difference in das world because he who feeds the hungers refreshes his own soul.
Truly hopeful now I'm learning from him. I do feel lost and disconnected from my mind and it's not a good thing. Now I'm seeing my body in a different way where I value myself. 😌 so grateful 🙏🏾
Hello Shi Heng Yi your teachings are rich in assisting how to raise children and to respect our parents. I am a believer in God and Jesus Christ. I am open to listening to your teachings of Bodchita. You are sharing and opening the eyes, minds, and spirit of those that want to go deeper in wisdom, knowledge and discipline. Thank you and God make you live a long and full filled life in the Monestary.
Beautiful way of life. Nothing , but consciousness and simplicity . What a blessing.
Pleasant speech is das highest blessing.
“It can only mean I’d be taking something away from my own existence.” Well articulated. Well understood. Very mature.
I respect this man. He is young but when he speaks he is wise.
I hope to meet you one day.
Thank you for all your videos I watch all the time.
Tea talk is so enlightening and calming. Thank you, Shifu.
Honour and respect are the fundamental principles of anyone who wishes to learn and grow. As you saw something in your new master, so we saw something in you and people here wanted to ask you to be our master in the same way. The ancestors had and do have wisdom and skills obtained over their lifetimes and similarly their ancestors imparted knowledge to them gained over many lifetimes - this is something that is invaluable to keep the martial art form pure and unadulterated. Any person who criticises the way something is being taught fails to grasp this concept. I am honoured to grow with you and in turn to watch you grow in the path of your master and ultimately my master also. Thank you 🙏 for this opportunity - I had just made some Matcha Tea as the notification came up of your video this evening, which was so perfectly timed. It is beautiful to share this peaceful time together and gain a deeper insight into the Shaolin way, many many blessings 🙏 Shifu Shi Heng Yi.
I am honored to be able to learn Chinese martial arts philosophy from you. I hope to find myself again

Wow! I thought Shifu never laughed...this is the samsara should be, sipping tea with Shifu and receiving Dharma from Shifu...the land of Amitabha! 🙏 Detachment, equanimity, impermanence, begininglessness, endlessness. 🙏
Master Shi, you are the sunshine in all our family members life. ☀️🌞🌻🌼
You great star!
What would your happiness be
Have you not those
For whom you shine ?
I tried to get recognition from my dad all my living life time to no avail ,but never stopped loving him ! When he was in his last days of cancer . There was a car show, which he loved to see. I put him in a wheelchair and spent most of the day looking at cars. Afterward, on the way to the hospital, he sent me into a corner store to buy him two chocolate bars. When I gave him the chocolate bars, he gave me one. I told him I couldn't eat chocolate! Suprised, he said he always sent me chocolate for Christmas gift. Why haven't you ever told me that you can't eat chocolate? I said "yes and the family loved getting chocolate. I'm always thankful for the gift. That is when he stood up and gave me a hug saying "he loved me" I waited 52 years to hear those three words. He died the next morning. Rip.
U r exceptional
This is a tough talk to hear. But now I respect this man as a Shifu and can easily follow him. Yes the intro with the chips was a nice touch.
I didn't think it was a nice touch. I was quite shocked. That food is really bad for animals.
@@jacksnstaffs8293 cats won’t eat anything they don’t wanna. Best practice , no. Super big deal if cat has a crisp? I dunno. It seemed like playful cat stuff to me.
Thank you Shi Fu for sharing your wisdom. Everything takes Commitment, discipline and respect🙏
My soul has strong communication with yours I watch your videos all day but your strength & influences on me I can’t explain, I still not practicing but I listen to your wisdom & u have upper capacities than normal people on earth & u ll b very famous the world need your vibration very very much
Dear Shi Heng Yi, Thank you for having the flexibility of thought & deed, to bravely venture beyond stagnation & tradition, in order to share your compassionate teachings in these changing times. Your timing seems impeccable. These changes are welcomed & needed right now 💥🙏
Dear Shifu,
Thank you for this immeasurably beneficial and kind compassionate talk and teaching. I understand. I will honour your instructions and am infinitely grateful that you have accepted us as your students in this setting, and even more that you are taking such time and effort to lay out the rules and explain these core concepts and principles in a way that we can understand and follow.
I will Practice More as you have instructed until you return. And also study the essence of Chan and Zen Buddhism as you have instructed.
I feel the gravity of the master-student you have accepted and how seriously you take your responsibilities. I promise to respect and honour this blessing you have bestowed on us also. And I am filled with particular joy at having been accepted into this ancient and beautiful tradition by yourself, albeit in this unconventional online format . I look forward to the next Tea Talk and trainings. This change that you have instigated is what I have been searching for, for such a long time. I am so grateful to you, words are inadequate to express how much the teachings you share and your clear compassion and care for us all, mean to me and benefit me and my loved ones.
May your training and retreat run impeccably well and may you know the joy of success as you immerse yourself further into new depths of mastery.
With great respect and gratitude,
Amituofo 🙏😌❤️💛💐
Thank you for this teaching. And thank you for these “tea” series and sharing your time and wisdom with me.
Good luck with your new journey. I will look forward to your return and shall practice, practice, practice with my dog by my side too.
just out of words, thank you !!
I’m grateful for all that you’ve contributed to my life. May you be fulfilled. May you be spiritually free❣️🙏
Beautiful ! Honorable Shi Heng Yi ^_^
To walk the path of enlightenment is to see everything in love😍 to respect to honour🤲🏻to accept without judgement🙏🏻this is the path of ascent and mastery 💫 the path of the soul✨to its origin- unconditional love💛💫✨ I like you so much Shifu🙏🏻and your voice is so peaceful 🤲🏻🕊️and touched my💗 ..😍🙏🏻💮💫✨
Shi Heng Yi, I only got to know you a few months ago and since then I've been training online with your videos. I am very grateful for having found your youtube channel and being able to access the knowledge that you shared there.
For me this talk is a gift where I can see your integrity and freedom. With the zen Buddhist teachings that I started to practice in the last 10 years, I was able to explore other horizons beyond the culture where I was born and raised. Today I feel deeply connected to the values you are referring to.
I wish you much light on your path.
See you soon.
Shifu, people with a sharp mind like yours are always challenging, that's a natural gift! Condolences for your beloved father, my dear, you carry with you a very honorable legacy. Respects!
🙏🙏🙏 with gratitude for your selfless sharing of your wisdoms! ❤️
Bless you Shi Heng Yi 🙏🏻 thank you for your sharing …. So much of your story I relate to …. I lost my father age 13 to cancer and 6 weeks ago my mother passed away…. I had not seen her for 4 years and did not make it in time to go home … I’m devastated beyond words. I don’t know how to move past this. You are a beautiful soul.
It is the honourable thing to do
You are a incredible teacher thank you
I love how present and calm you are in everything you do. It seems like a lot of things in this world are a stressor. To see this is a breath of fresh air 🌬🍵🙏🏻
The long pause before answering... actually thinking before speaking. So refreshing.
A life full of anger and violence has changed with positive thinking, appreciating the smalls things, being grateful, surrounding myself around good people and watching videos and following people like this man. Thank you.
Pero justamente, porque enseña Chi Kung para La Salud, que armoniza holísticamente al ser humano, es increíble que elija como próximo maestro a ese advenedizo, violento y mercenario. Habla en sus videos de bondad, de paz, de no agresión, que considero todo muy sincero. Por eso su decisión es para mí, incomprensible. ¿Sinceramente? Continuaré únicamente con el profesor español Iván Trujillo, en Alquimia Interna. Y comenzaré con un profesor chino próximamente-en forma presencial, que ahora es posible-en mi ciudad.
Saludos
Your character, strength, talents and abilities will carry you through what ever destination you choose. Never put a limitation on your personal growth.
Dear Shi Heng Yi. If I may say so I think this talk is a perfect, and rare, example of true humility and the power of inner truth! Thank you for sharing. 🥰
Dear Shifu Shi Heng Yi, I just wanted to let you know that every time I do the Qi Gong video I send you a lot of love and gratitude, hopefully you'll send me some of yours and peace! I live in a country with extreme chaos, your talks and videos are helping me to cope with it all and remain calm the best I can! Whenever I start to feel like it's getting to me I either watch your talks and lectures or practice Qi Gong. Many many thanks for all the good and all the people you are helping. Love from Lebanon, Sue.
Thank you for this comment Sue, so moving.. It does really make me understand even more that Qi Gong and all the philosophy and martial arts linked to it, are not just a practice for privileged new-age wealthy Western Europeans with lots of time in their hands... but rather a practice for inner strengh and peace for everyone on this Planet, despite of the circumstances they live in, and actually important in circumstances of fight, struggle and war. Thank you. Stray strong and peaceful.
Dear Anna, thank you for your kind words. Yes, I have found from my personal experience that it helps me to maintain some level of calm and peace in overwhelming situations. I hope it does the same for you as well. Stay strong and may the blessings be 🙏💙
Dear Master, I hope you will enjoy the new environment and people over there. I hope you will come back soon. How long is your absence? All the best and thank you for what you have done for your followers (including me) and community. Thanks.
I love the path of your view on life. I may not have agreed with aspects of my parents method of raising me but I never thought I had to forgive them. They were products of how they were raised and I’m thankful for what I learned from life with them.
Thank you for these very inspiring tea talks, Shi Hengyi Shifu and for all the other videos. They are such a blessing to all of us who are looking for deeper meaning of our existence. Change is the only constant in our lives. When the inner call arises, nothing can stop it. We are all going through some kind of transitions at these times. Your guidance, experience, teachings, suggestions and thoughts you shared through different videos helped me personally go through the biggest change of this life and I can only send you blessings, love and peace in return. You're so ready for your new master. I wish you you to have a wonderful journey to your inner peace and already looking forward for the new sharings that shall come when the time is right. Until then, we shall practice, practice and practice. 😊🙏😊
Yes, the practice videos are important. But, I find these “tea talk” episodes are far more important and required due to the explanation and understanding of the core for the teachings toward one’s self-mastery.
Please don’t stop sharing your thoughts and teachings to help us better understand you and the essence, so that maybe these insights can help us became a better human being, especially as a whole.
It has certainly forever opened up my mind and it wouldn’t have happened without you. And now I can even use the practices to better enhance and motivate myself.
I am thankful for your decision to share and to promote awareness for all mankind. Bless you with much more strength and love! Glad you are relaxed! I feel you and must say that I believe you are heading in the right direction, even with complications on this journey. 😅👍
The obstacle is das way
"The change is here." Change brings new perspectives, new experiences, new understandings and a new "you", a new "me". Change removes stagnation and allows stimulation, inspiration and aspiration. Shi Heng Yi, you have been remarkably courageous in the way that you have lived your life - on your own terms. As our shifu, our teacher, our father, you have earned our deepest respect and oneness the moment we began to practice with your videos and listen to your talks and interviews. I love these tea talks as you express your inmost feelings, intentions and wisdom. May we, your students, continue to follow you in the way that you speak of, with our loving admiration and appreciation for who you are and who you are becoming. 🙏
This was very thought-provoking..
It hit home for me... It was nice for you to share some of your personal life Shifu... My condolences to you and your family for the loss of your father.. I lost my mother to cancer as well... Forgiveness is especially hard when it comes to family... Growing up wasn't the easiest for me either..
I have always admired the martial arts one being of the respect that is learned and earned... I had to smile when you spoke of your youth and not being the easiest to deal with.. but you had enough of intuitiveness and strong mindfulness to choose and to know where your path lies☝🏻... That's admirable if you ask me ..
This stagnation you speak of... I know this... stagnation = death.. I am quite familiar with this term... I am 100% behind you Master Shi Heng Yi for whatever decisions you make for moving your life forward.... With all due respect to Grandmaster Jiang Yu Shan I would not be at all surprised if he learns a couple things from you too Shifu...
🙏🏻☮️🙏🏻
Wow well said. 💚💜💙🌹
Thank you for sharing your wisdom
Once more.. thank you and all your ancestors 🙏
❤
I love you subtle sense of humour. Im very great full for you channel and teaching ShiFu
We love you Sifu 🙏❤
I am grateful and appreciate the time you took to share these thoughts Shifu. Many thanks and look forward to more inspiring and reflective lessons. hope you are well.
“And because I built it up, I can build it up again” and yes, life 🌀 is just like that. We rise, we may fall, and we will rise again! Growth is change and much respect for that.
On another note: (unrelated to any of the teachings but more so the asian culture itself)
As an asian woman, I totally understand the hierarchy and family face and I can respect the tradition. Growing up I bit my tongue and played small so that others would feel comfortable in their superiority and let their ego stroke. In that dysfunct, I left that community to find myself healing for years from the traumas it brought me. Of course now I understand that in life we were placed in these situations in order to build ourselves up. Sometimes it takes standing up for your truth to make a change though. If I were my ancestors, I would respect that too.
I have found, like you, that enduring hardship "builds character" and makes you a better person. The shaolin lifestyle teaches you how to grow from such adversities, at least as my current understanding goes.
Master Shi Heng Yi - again Vielen Dank - Hoffentlich erreicht Ihre Botschaft viele Menschen. Wuensche Ihnen viel Erfolg auf Ihrer neuen Reise!!! Adler nehmen keine Flugstunden bei Tauben ! - "Gehe Deinen eigenen Weg dann kannst Du Dich nicht verlaufen!" - Das groesste Gefaengnis in dem Menschen Leben ist die Angst davor was andere ueber Sie denken!!! ...es gibt nur einen richtigen Weg: Deinen Eigenen!!! ..... das Leben ist wie ein Fahrrad. Man muss sich bewegen um das Gleichgewicht nicht zu verlieren! (A.Einstein)...... und Fuerchte Dich niemals vor Veraenderung! Fuerchte Dich vor Stillstand(lao Tse). Gruss aus Dubai - KRISTIN
You truly are amazing your teachings are amazing I love listening to you. Thank you.
Not only did I make tea (which is less than once a year, although I have over 5 teaboxes in my cupboard), but my attention was taken the entire time. I wish you the best in all you wish to achieve and manifest.
I applaud you for taking this frontline approach in bringing more light to these topics via these platforms..Very new age we live in, and I support what you have begun.
I appreciate you sharing all you have, about your family especially. Much love and respect 🙏
Shifu. A loving and respectful relationship w a teacher, master, parent/son/daughter. Listening with rapt attention.
Everyone must be mindful of the inner and outer management they must do because without it no true answer can come.
🙏🕉📿
I have so many things in my mind that I would like to say, but accept thank you as being enough said. I have been searching for a long time and now I have found.🙏
Thank you for sharing. This tea time was great. Your words are heart felt. We got to learn more of you. 🙏 Thank you!
Thank you for all that you have shared. May your days be long on this earth and may each day be filled with peace.
What a warm moment of you with cat and dog ! Love it !
I never thought of the experiences with my parents (“good” and “bad”) as receiving education. In this new perspective, I will try to be grateful
I am so amazed at how you teach….just would love to have your tea pots and cups for sale thinking this would sell very well . Blessings and Love
Master Shi Hen Yi. Much gratitude for all that you give unconditionally. This to me is real universal love. So thank you so much from the bottom of my chiheart.🙏🏽☀️💖
🙏🏾 I have so much respect for you Master. I am so grateful and full of appreciation for your teaching. Wishing you all the learning and deepening you need for your journey. I am changed by coming across you. So many blessings and love to you Shifu.🙏🏾 Thank you for bringing us back to deeper understanding and respect...like a Father would do...with love.
Very nice speech it’s absolutely my life motto you can only be good in something which you love second don’t do things you don’t like to do because you want to please people I am living already 26 years in Asia ( china, Malaysia, Vietnam) it changed my life. i don’t live to work I work to live. Thanks for Sharing Shi Heng Yi 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Dear Shifu Shi Heng Yi, I thank you for considering us part of the Shaolin community and reminding us what it means to be part of this community. Words are not enough to express all my gratitude for everything you have taught us so far and for the positive changes you have brought to our lives. All I can say is that your father would be very proud of you - may his soul be blessed. For the rest, I will honor your teaching by practicing every day. Wishing you an enriching journey in this new period of your life. Truly committed, Myriam.
This is my new thing... having tea with this man. Please never stop
Thank you, Shifu for sharing your knowledge. I really appreciated it.
still I will always have you as shifu in my mind
I do so appreciate this...thank you...Shi Heng Yi...much love to u
Dear teacher, everything you do for all of us is noble and thank you from the bottom of my heart. I was born in Serbia and I know what you are talking about. In my country, older people are also respected, starting with father and mother ... grandparents ..... and the family tree is known. It is inconceivable that a man in life strives for a goal ... and to be successful, if there is no peace in the soul. If we are in a quarrel with someone, especially with our parents, then we do not even have the blessing for the right path in our lives. I love China for many reasons. I also understand what you want to tell us with this video. Greetings to you Shi Heng Yi
Thank you very much Master ! I love you. Blessing of God in every day!
May u be free from suffering n be happy🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Greetings "Shifu"! 😇
I am former Navy, now a retired Chaplain in GOD's Special Forces... I learned the wonderful art of Wah-Lum Kung Fu from a sixth generation Grand master who became my Sifu at a Wah-Lum Temple he built in Orlando Florida and it was like I was magically transformed to China. I haven't been practicing as actively as I would like to because of deteriorating arthritis in my hip joints and lower back, but I still practice Tai-Chi which is alot more lower impact on my joints...so I've been following your teachings and Tea Talks...very refreshing to experience the non-diluted sacred teachings of a true master and yet love the clarifying ways you explain your concepts of wisdom with such humility. Thank you so much...appreciate you and your teachings and getting much health benefits from practicing your breathing and strength exercises and stretches. Thank you and GOD bless you and keep utilizing you mightily. Will be praying for you...in 2022 and the monks and students at your sacred Shaolin Temple.

Thank you shifu..listening to your voice is like listening to meditation music. Calming, yet full of deep teaching. Xie2🙏🙏🙏
It is so great to see you on this Tea Talk Master Shi you look more relaxed and happy again, it’s all that matters. The patterns are moving demanding transcendence, such is the rhythm of life. New ways we’re learning of how to build the new; based in the past.
Thank you for you words of wisdom. ✨🙏✨
Much gratitude and Respect Shifu🙏🏼. Your videos introduced me to Qi Gong during the challenging months of heavy lockdown. Ive been practicing since, learning the routines, following your online videos and listening to your guidance, although videos are the tip of a beautiful and deep iceberg of teachings, practicing them has been beneficial to increase my mental and physical self awareness, I’ve started to notice some of my own reactions and thoughts more carefully, which helps me on the ( long 😄) journey of becoming a better and happier human being.
In addition, I recently had the opportunity to join a Fang Song Gong Qi Gong retreat at the monastery with Shifu Shi Heng Zuan 🙏🏼 a daily practice that makes me feel calmer and more centred, watching your ted talk and videos has lead me here, and I’m so happy and thankful for that 🙏🏼. You have reached the hearts and minds of many, it’s for each of us to make the commitment to ourselves and find ways to put this wonderful teachings into practice♥️. Much gratitude and respect to you , to Shifu Shi Heng Zuan and to everyone at the Shaolin Temple Europe for welcoming us so warmly and kindly 🙏🏼
Master Shi Heng Yi, listening to you talk makes me feel very reassured, as you have a very calm, stable presence. Thank you for the valuable content that you release for free.
I am a Westerner but have been living in Japan for several years, so I am familiar with the importance of respect and hierarchy.
However, this concept is very difficult for me to follow personally, especially when it comes to my father. He is a very angry, verbally abusive person who does not treat people with respect. In the past, he has done many horrible things to hurt my other family members, which makes it difficult for me to feel close with him. When I visit him, I feel suffocated, I feel like I have to pretend to agree with the ill ways he speaks about others, his racist ways of thinking, etc.
I understand he is still my father, but it may be impossible for me to respect him.
Maybe working on forgiveness is the first step. It's a struggle.
Thank you for your open lesson and al the video's of practise. It made me more balance and forget the trouble of life.
Thank you Shifu. Happy Father's Day
I understand how horrible being stagnant can be. When life holds routine but no inspiration or purpose, it’s absolutely crippling. So, I understand your search. I’m new to this channel and have no idea what it means that you’ve received a new master and how that impacts what you do now, but I wish you peace and clarity on that journey. I just recently came out of a stagnant funk myself and am so full of joy at having a new motivation, even if it is something small.
I Liked the time very much you were taken with dog and cat to check out your portal to the outside world 😉 thank your for being funny, too…Humor makes it easy to connect
One more time, I've learned a lot with your words. In this Tea Talk, I could feel the Tao and its principles acting wtih you. Enjoy your journey; enjoy your moment; enjouy your life even when you don't know where this effort will lead you...the great treasure is the path and how we act in it. Thanks a lot again.
A huge THANK YOU for this update. Yes "RESPECT" everything is said in a "single word"
Respect cannot be demanded because it must be commanded.
Thank you, Master Shi. Different cultures with universal communication.
I am very much enjoying the Tea Talks. Please continue to do them!
Master Shi Heng Yi, to be humble and continue to learn from new masters is how we evolve into better beings. You are an amazing spirit.
Dear master; you have been the fusion of all the divided knowledge that I have been able to find on this side. Although the difference of practicing raw and online is incomparable, you don't get an idea of the great change you are making by sharing these teachings. There are many seekers in the west. I look forward to a deeper understanding to integrate these practices. I am extremely grateful to have met you. I hope one day to be your disciple there in Europe.
Love from Argentina shifu
I am glad to have another tea talk from you, Shi Zheng Yi. They are helpful. I’ve had many teachers in Qigong etc in my life. Something was missing. I enjoy that you explain where the breath goes and why. I looked up Jiang Huo Shan. His life has been dedicated to so many aspects of Chinese arts. I’ve been incapacitated for 3 weeks now but with a change in diet, some of the easier routines you post, and your motivation, I am helped greatly. I can only do about an hour a day presently but I walked 4 miles today, which is a kind of miracle. I worked through the pain, enjoying nature and the waterbody, forgetting what I thought I couldn’t do. When this illness began it was like being hit hard, knocked down. My life came to a halt. I lost 15 pounds because I could not eat. Luckily I had TCM style both that I could sip after 4 days. Slowly I built up strength forcing myself to make shiitake soup. Your posts encouraged me to be strong. While down, I thought about my family. Your talk today enlightened all that. I’ve been able to disregard issues that were problems with other people around me now. Shaolin Temple presents a comprehensive way of life. You are an important spokesperson and role model. Many thanks for all the videos.
Hope you feel better now, hugs 🤗❤
😊😊p😅😮😮😢😮😮
Thanks for sharing this.. I was also raised this way. ..my father..wisdom.. I thank my father for teaching me common sense....
Thank you for everything Shifu Yi 🙏🙏🙏🙏✨💖✨💖✨💖✨💖✨
Dear Master, I just watch your Tea Talk 2. Thanks for sharing and I fully understand and appreciate what you said. Thank you again for you teachings and wisdom. All the best for your new journey.
Shifu,
This was a great sharing of wisdom and reflections on the meaning of the Shifu concept. My deepest condolences on your father's passing (my father also passed away due to cancer in 2013).
Even though I am new to Grandmaster Jiang Yu Shan and am aware of his breadth of experience, as I keep listening to his teachings I keep feeling that sensation I get when I am impressed by the precise and specific wisdom I am witnessing someone share (especially as it blends in with other valuable lessons and concepts I have learned and found very useful through yoga and other spiritual disciplines). I have had that feeling of being impressed and filled with respect towards you and also towards Grandmaster Jiang Yu Shan. I am excited at this opportunity you have ahead of you and wish you the best of growth in all areas.
Sincere thanks and respect for all you do and share with us!
