Reflection On Being A Student
Of Lama Dondrup Dorje
“Before I met Sifu, I had spent the previous two years attending various self development courses, all of which seemed to make me worse - more tense, more frustrated with my life and my inability to put what I had learnt into practice. Since becoming a student of Classical Qigong Study my relationship with myself has changed dramatically. Over the years, there has been so much confusion in my mind that I have hurt many people including myself. Many times I have worked myself up into a state of paralysis through the egocentric approach I have used to try and gain control over my destiny at work and in my personal relationships. Sifu's teachings have shown me that if I let go of all the delusions and take things step by step, then things naturally fall into place and I can see where I really am in my life. For most of my life my approach to relationships was to move on when I felt that things were not going my way. My studying with Sifu has introduced me to many of the mechanisms behind the way relationships work. This has been invaluable. There have been several key moments in my current relationship when things have been very uncomfortable, but instead of turning away, having an understanding of what is going on has given me the energy to look at what I can do to improve the situation.”
