🍵 Tea Talk 🍵 with Shi Heng Yi: What 師父 (Shifu) means | Il Padrino

[@ktkace]

The cat and dog and chips makes me smile .

[@A.a01.]

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

[@ReligionAndMaterialismDebunked]

: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.

[@andrewcairns-st9nr]

It doesn't happen by chance it is call Synchronicity. Keep believing and watching out for them!

[@Treasurerose11]

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.😊

[@legalconsultant861]

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.

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. ❤

[@sylviatat2383]

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 KZbins 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.

[@Solastar]

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.

[@chrisengelman8741]

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🤗

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.

[@amandafinn5209]

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 💥🙏

[@bluebird8457]

🙏🙏🙏 with gratitude for your selfless sharing of your wisdoms! ❤️

[@starlight1867]

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.

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. 🥰

[@cindygrayson1288]

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.

[@willowgreentree1874]

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.

[@madhavikrishnan1976]

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 🙏😌❤️💛💐

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. 😊🙏😊

[@bennyyastremski8207]

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.

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.

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... 🙏🏻☮️🙏🏻

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.

[@babinianna]

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.

[@michaelnguyen8753]

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!

Master Shi Heng Yi, thank you for the clarification of the term “Shifu". I would also say that the negative feedback on social media is why I removed myself from Facebook. So much hate and ignorance. Too much willingness to post things that you wouldn’t say to someone’s face. I didn’t need that negativity in my life anymore. This clarification of Shifu is not lost on me. 🙏

[@NewCreationConcepts]

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.

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.

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 🙏🏼

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.

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.

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. ✨🙏✨

You just answered my query... I need to be thankful for my parents Instead of being angry with them....and trying to forgive them Even if they have caused pain.... In someway I've found peace....and acceptance... Thankyou
