Fighting spirit

Bring compassion to the fight

Everyone says that my kung fu is strong, but they also say it looks a bit strange.

The whole reason it's so strong is that it looks a bit strange. It's an ancient tradition. That means it evolves, doesn't it?

My kung fu still has three signature moves from the old days. If you learn them too, they'll keep you safe. The first is compassion, the second is restraint, and the third is not trying to save the world. Compassion lets me be brave, restraint lets me be generous, and not trying to save the world lets me carry the torch.

Modern kung fu abandoned compassion and lost its nerve, abandoned restraint and shows no mercy, abandoned humility and commands no respect. It's a dead end.

When we bring compassion to the fight we prevail, and in defence we're safe. God is with us, and with compassion watches over us.
