The objective is to ensure the comprehension, respect and promotion of synergies between Western Culture and Eastern Ancient Daoist Tradition.<br \/>\nThey are essential to create a high standard and quality of the transmitted teachings as well as to maintain harmony and balance of daily life in the monastic community.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The capability of the disciple to live according to these Eight Virtues reflects to the master the disciple\u2019s current stage. These virtues give the disciple tools to deal with day-to-day challenges, either internal (as we will put down and overcome many physical, emotional and spiritual self-imposed obstacles during this time of cultivation) or external: in relationship with others and the environment contributing in a positive way to a high quality group dynamic.<br \/>\nRemember that the number of foreign disciples invited each year is very restricted, therefore take responsibility to make this experience as fruitful as possible for you and your new brothers and sisters. The inability to understand these precepts and the unwillingness to follow these regulations for whatever reason might result in the expulsion from the program and in the disciple being demanded to leave the program early.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">I. Xi\u00e0o \u5b5d :<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\"> Respect or Filial Piety:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">As martial artist you are obliged to step in if someone is inferior or the argument is wrong.<br \/>\nTo respect your teacher is another martial virtue.<br \/>\nThere are two distinct ways of interaction between people that work to achieve one goal. Competition between ten people, there is one winner and 9 losers. Cooperation turns all in the group into achievers.<br \/>\nAll people in the temple form a symbiotic relationship with each other to achieve the highest practice of energy cultivation possible. As teachings will be provided to a group. The higher the quality of the collective, the deeper the transmission that can happen. To help, respect and spur on each other during and outside martial and healing practices is a virtue. At that stage relationships between students start to disappear and true brotherhood emerges.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">II. T\u00ec\u608c\uff1a<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\"> To do one\u2019s duty as a younger martial brother<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Martial brotherhood is a focal point in the Chun Yang Sect. Help one another and love your brothers and sisters. Older ones are to take care of younger ones.<br \/>\nThe primal drive for knowledge to be shared, after acceptance from the teacher, is the student&#8217;s will and aspiration to learn. The student should recognize and trust the master as a vehicle of knowledge, doing his best to integrate into himself what is shown to him during practice. Humility and respect is a way of honouring the time of the master who, after long years of cultivation, decided to share and teach pearls of wisdom\u00a0from his lineage.<br \/>\nPaying a suggested monthly donation is a way to contribute to the temple\u2019s development and should not give you the impression that you are entitled to have a nice vacation or demand to be taught in any specific art inside or outside the program. It is up to the master to decide what will be taught during that period, although there is a very high sensitivity to individual needs and often, if possible, they are attended to.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">III. Zh\u014dng\u5fe0\uff1a<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\"> Loyality\/ Devotion\/ Honesty<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Love your family and country. Love every country on earth and every environment, including the air you breathe. It is the type of love you have for everything around you, as you are so small.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">IV. X\u00ecn\u4fe1:Belief , trust, faith<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Keep your contracts and promises, even when others doubt you. Trust others unconditionally. Trust ensures good relationships. This is a very rare kind of trust.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">V. L\u01d0 \u793c:<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">Manners and etiquette<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Pay respect towards one another, courtesies like the bow or salute. If you are invited to someone\u2019s house, people are very hospitable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">VI. Y\u00ec\u4e49:<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\"> Responsibility\/Righteousness\/Chivalry<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Take care of your mother and father as well as your elders. As a teacher he must ensure we understand teachings. It is about giving to others, not taking. This plays an important part during meditation class. The world revolving around you is a very selfish way of living. If you draw a big circle, you are the worst person from the perspective of daoist virtue. If you draw your circle smaller and smaller you have lots of love to give. The smaller you make yourself, the greater you can become. The common person wants to rise higher and higher, while sages become smaller and smaller. Wang Chong Yang, a taoist sage, burnt down his house. Your ego is your backpack, so you won\u2019t fit through the door same as Jesus who was very humble and therefore great. Pure Yang is this. God is like a bright light.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">VII.

Do not want more than life and accept hardhips. Do not want what is not yours. This lays the foundation for ch\u01d0\u803b.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">VIII. Ch\u01d0\u803b<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\"> Humiliation\/Sense of shame\/Not doing what you can foresee<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Daoists do not care about having a comfortable life or possessions. Over in the mountains, they have 1.5 litres of water, which is enough. They do not want a lot from nature as their internal heart is very peaceful. With very expensive pants you would not sit on the ground, so your thoughts and actions are ruled by your pants. If you own a lot of land, your thoughts are on trespassing thieves, robberies, which is destructive. If you accomplish this, your heart will feel very comfortable, peaceful. Meditation is your base.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"https:\/\/fiveimmortals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/daoist-8-virtue.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DOWNLOAD IN PDF<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1132\" style=\"width: 106px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fiveimmortals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/jj.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1132\" data-attachment-id=\"1132\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/fiveimmortals.com\/taoism-and-martial-arts-courses\/jj\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fiveimmortals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/jj.jpg?fit=96%2C96&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"96,96\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"yin yang\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fiveimmortals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/jj.jpg?fit=96%2C96&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1132 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fiveimmortals.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/jj.jpg?resize=96%2C96&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Chun Yang\" width=\"96\" height=\"96\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1132\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><em><strong>Chun Yang<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daoist Eight Virtues\u00a0 \u9053\u6559\u516b\u5fb7 of Wudang Chun Yang Leanage \u201c\u4e0a\u5fb7\u4e0d\u5fb7\uff0c\u662f\u4e3a\u6709\u5fb7\uff1b\u4e0b\u5fb7\u4e0d\u5931\u5fb7\uff0c\u662f\u4e3a\u65e0\u5fb7\u3002\u201c \u201cThe highest virtue is not virtuous; therefore it truly has virtue.
