Tao Fa 道法. You are wishing or you really want it?

This year, I have started to take in disciples that have affinity to learn Tao Fa 道法. As our temple foundation principle is based on non-money demands for Taoist process, most of the disciples have to go through strict selection process. Therefore not many pass the selection process.

In Feng Shui career to date, I have about 400 students globally. Also not many when base on officially started teaching about 6 years ago.

Learning Tao Fa is different from those that are learning Feng Shui, Ba Zi or Qi Men Dun Jia. Because in teaching Taoist Fa, disciples ultimately have to rise up to the Deities expectation. Of course as a teacher, I too have my expectations on them.

Thinking back to the days, when I started learning Tao Fa – all my friend informed me was that the temple in Ipoh (about 120km from Penang), will be having their deity celebration. My friend Eddie said “It will be a good opportunity for you to meet the Master, will you come to Ipoh?” Without any hesitation, in less than a day's notice, I drove all the way from Penang to Ipoh in the evening. When I arrived at the temple during Jin Ying Zu Shi 金英祖師 celebration， all the master did was look at me. He told me that he will not go into meditative stabilization to seek approval for my discipleship, because he already had some alcohol.

With that, I was already very glad that I had a chance to meet and at least enquire the possibility. And because of the late night, I have to stay in Ipoh for a night before driving back to Penang the next morning. After I was initiated, every Friday evening I would drive to Ipoh to meet with him and learn, and about 10:30pm at night – I would drive back to Penang again. This goes on for about 6 months or so. Never in my mind, did I view it as a chore or hassle because of the need to travel in the night to learn Tao Fa.

During the weekdays, I would need to do meditation on my own. Requirements on me was to meditate in the wee hours of the morning, 3am-4am every day. I just do it without any excuses whatsover. Bearing in mind, that when I was initiated, one of the prime directive in using Tao Fa is that I must not take any form of monetary reward for it. So all these work and effort that ultimately cannot bring any form of money or career into my life. Thinking back, most likely it is a past life imprint, for to have so much interest and passion for something you cannot earn money with.

Anyhow, my disciples now have it very much easier than what I went through. For one, they do not have to travel and secondly they touch base with me almost everyday either online or through the phone.

They also have a big place to gather in Kam Dong San Temple, plus we have so many activities going on each month. Possibility to learn is almost endless. Everything is provided for them, and as a Master, I am not holding anything back.

My only regret is that, after taking in disciples, I have finally understood and experienced that Tao Fa is not for everyone. I am also in  agreement with previous masters that why in the olden days, our lineage ancestors have so much restrictions and also extremely difficult selection process. As the person using real Tao Fa have to shoulder the responsibility of not only themselves but also of nature and the Tao.

If you do not have enough merits in your life, even if a master agree to teach you, undoubtely you will have many obstacles that appear such as event or people diverting you away from your learning. Some people will have their bad habits magnified in times that they need to have disciplines in their life.

It is in these times, the power of the will is one of the way for the person to overcome their learning obstacles. They will also need to do a lot of merit earning activities so that they will be able to advance their study.

You will be face with the true reality of whether you are just wishing you can learn Tao Fa? or you really want to learn Tao Fa? Your answer is not how nice you can answer BUT it is in your ACTION.

This posting is dedicated to all my current and future disciples of Tao Fa.
