He's the master who you can never find but definitely arrives when you're ready for him.

[@CarolaPC80]

Absolutely!

[@heelandtoe]

i feel the same way

[@davidromero2704]

When the student is ready, the master will appear. It's an old saying. I first heard it in the mask of zorro but it's an actual quote

[@Artisancove]

I’m encouraged by your comment. This video was literally playing when I picked up my phone! I’m excited to commence my journey with him!

[@NovaMenteMedia]

This world isn’t going to remember you by your personal achievements but by your contributions.

His TED talk came up on my feed at start of 2020, and since then, each day I have practiced his teachings. It’s been life affirming and certainly changed my whole being for the greater positive.

Lastly: “This world is not going to remember you by your personal achievements. But, you will be remembered by the contributions that you have given to this world”. This last point of the summary is so true…. so profound. The world will surely remember you Master… & I surely will. Thank you so much, Master Shi Heng Yi. Bow down with respect: from Indonesia.

[@tehakunkun2665]

yes indeed the summary was powerfull message for mankind

[@TimiFairy369]

I wonder what kind of freedom emerges from releasing the need of "the world remember me" thing... is it not just a mind`s need for outsourced validation ?... Does it really matter? Looking at some amazing artist`s life like Marylin Monroe, Robin Williams, etc... they made millions happy with their art.. their contribution to the world , been loved by the crowd , yet, they died so miserably alone, unhappy... does it really matter if the world rememebers us or not?

[@WinstonVanCoon]

@@TimiFairy369 No, it doesn't matter.

[@seinemet7837]

but your personal achievement and your contribution to the world can be the same thing, right?

& also PHOTOS or PICTURES can't replace it either... The experience cannot be replaced with anything of that certainly. Pictures, devices, social media an so on limit us all as well, life cannot be truly live through them. Life is passing by... So while we do make photos or make some selfies the experience of the moment gets lost for good. Life can't be lived either from books, photographs, movies or any second hand knowledge.

One of the most spiritual moments in my life is sitting on top of a hill and watch mother nature give birth to a new day as the sun fills the sky with beauty beyond your imagination. Warming your heart and soul with her ever lasting love and joy. Telling you to smile because each new day brings new wonders.

[@dr.grahamc.addisonusnncisf4207]

Beautiful. Personal experience for many is key. It reminds me of Thomas in the new testament. He had to see the holes in Jesus' hands and feet to believe that he rose from the dead. I have witnessed many miracles in Our Father's creation. God bless us all. In Jesus' name. Amen.

[@jameslipke354]

The quote, "You were given this mountain to show others it can be moved." I came to the realization a year ago, the word mountain is simply a metaphor. Translation: You were given this mountain (yourself), to show others it can be moved (by learning and growing from your past while expanding your own consciousness through personal experience, interaction, connection, knowledge, leading by example and just being). The only mountain any one person has the power to move, is themself. I'm 56 years old, soon to be 57. This is something I wish I would had realized, understood, much sooner. Thank you for your lessons. I greatly appreciate them. ❤️ ~ APRIL LIPKE ~ APRIL LIPKE

A flower bloomed. I lived in temple for years. We are not body or mental states. Awareness IS Experience. Non-duality beyond time. Self in God. Flowers bloom and fade away. But we are formless in Formlessness, unconditioned. The experience of God dear friend. Excellence & sensitivity are transitory. But God is the Being of Excellence itself and never perishes. 🙏🙏 I bet you won't take me on a walk next time.

[@knowone1702]

People search for technology with the hope of rediscovering something new. There’s nothing new under the sun. We are the most complicated and technological quantum computer’s running on various systems that work independently but together at the same time. All so that we can function and have a life to call life. It takes the body doing nothing and the mind doing something. That something is a different process for each one of us. There are LIGHT bearers in every era and Sifu you are ONE. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom that I’m sure has taken a lot mentally and physically to understand and teach.

[@satnamo]

Love is not consolation because it is de light. De light of intellect is colored by passion and interest. Personality is de element of das greatest happiness. So powerful is de comfort from a vivid consciousness from this advantage.

This brought tears to my eyes too.. for me it's because I don't have parents nor mentors since I was 8 years old so every time I hear something similar it reminds me of the hardship I had to go through without an elderly.

Instead of the mindless, pointless, non-useful BS I had to endure at school, where bullies made life miserable and the sink-or-swim social survival trials take place amongst young people, I wish I had been taught this. I had to grow up not having a father and I believe I have missed out on the fundamental things that a father can teach his son. I will follow this path of awareness, understanding and routine and one day teach it to others myself.
