Wing Chun
What is Wing Chun ?
Wing Chun is unique in many ways. Perhaps it's greatest singularity
lies in the fact that it is the only
Shaolin system to have been
devised by a woman.
For this reason Wing Chun is especially suitable
for women.
The system depends on technique rather than power. The force
of Wing Chun is like that of a coiled spring when released, but without tension
It is an excellent means of developing your body and keeping fit; however
the execution of Wing Chun requires neither exceptional natural bodily
strength nor sheer brute force.
There is a proverb in Wing Chun... "think of yourself with a glass head,
with a bean curd body, protected by an iron hand."
This system is known for the lightning quality of hand and arm movements.

PRACTICE...
Discipline, self-study, and surrender to the Lord
work toward union,
for the purpose of bringing about meditation
and in order to remove obstacles.
Ignorance, egoism, attachment, aversion,
and clinging to life are the obstacles.
Ignorance is the field of the others
whether dormant, disappearing, overcome, or expanded.
Regarding the non-eternal, impure, painful non-soul
as the eternal, pure, pleasant soul awareness is ignorance.
The subject appears to be identified
with the power of seeing in egoism.
Dwelling upon pleasure is attachment.
Dwelling upon pain is aversion.
Flowing by itself even in the wise
is the established clinging to life.
These are overcome by
reversing propagation to the subtle.
Concentration overcomes their effects.
Obstacles result in action patterns
which cause suffering in this life and the next.
Existing roots ripen into species, life, and experience.
They bear fruit as pleasure or pain
caused by virtue or vice.
By reason of the pains of change
and the opposing effects of the qualities,
all are suffering to the discriminating.
Avoidable is the suffering which has not yet come.
The cause of the avoidable
is identifying the perceiver with the perceived.
The nature of light, movement, and preservation
consisting of the elements, senses, and experience
are for the sake of liberation from the perceived universe.
Specific, not specific, definite, indefinite
are the quality states.
The perceiver is only the perception,
pure even though seeing through mental images.
That is only for the sake of
the soul of the perceived universe.
Though destroyed for the enlightened,
it is not destroyed for the community of others.
The forces of both one's own owner
attaining one's own form cause identity.
The cause of this is ignorance.
In the absence of that, in the absence of identity removed,
that is freedom of the perceiver.
Discriminating undisturbed intelligence removes suffering.
This develops through seven stages of wisdom.
By practice of the steps of union
impurities are destroyed by the light of knowledge
up to discriminating intelligence.
Restraint, observances, posture, breath control,
sublimation, attention, concentration, and meditation
are the eight steps.
There are nonviolence, not lying,
not stealing, not lusting, not possessing.
These, not limited by class, country, time, circumstance,
are the universal great vows.
Cleanliness, contentment, discipline, self-study,
and surrender to the Lord are the observances.
Overcome destructive instincts
by cultivating the opposites.
Destructive instincts are harmful thoughts
whether done, caused, or approved,
whether motivated by greed, anger, or delusion,
whether mild, moderate, or intense;
they result in endless suffering and ignorance.
Therefore cultivate the opposites.
Nonviolence confirmed,
in that presence hostility is relinquished.
Not lying confirmed, work and its fruits submit.
Not stealing confirmed, all riches approach.
Not lusting confirmed, vigor is gained.
Not possessing established,
there occurs knowledge of the birth process.
Cleanliness brings protection of one's own body
and non-infection from contact with others.
Goodness purified becomes serenity, single-mindedness,
conquest of the senses, and readiness to perceive the soul.
From contentment the best happiness is gained.
Perfection of the body's senses comes from
the destruction of impurities by discipline.
From self-study comes communion with the divine ideal.
Meditation is successfully identifying with the Lord.
Stable and pleasant is the posture.
Tension released, thought transformation is infinite.
From that, dualities do not disturb.
After that is accomplished,
regulation of inhalation and exhalation is breath control.
External, internal, and motionless are the modifications
as regulated by space, time, and number,
becoming long and subtle.
External, internal spheres cast aside is the fourth.
From this is removed the covering of the Light,
and prepared is the mind for attention.
Withdrawn from its own objects
consciousness identifies with its own form
so that the senses are sublimated.
From that comes supreme mastery over the senses.
