Introduction
Being calm and peaceful, and being open and tolerant are essential to our physical and spiritually health. During this special retreat, Master Ou will focus on these topics to assist individuals realize the vision of becoming vibrantly healthy and achieving optimal physical, emotional, and spiritual well being.
Achieving the highest levels of calmness has many benefits – not just with our health, but with all aspects of our life. Being calm and tolerant can improve our work performance, our relationships with others, and facilitate our achieving deeper levels of inner peace. In his book Journey of Heart and Soul, Master Ou states, “If you want to be more capable and more intelligent, you must learn to be calm, real calm. Calmness has many levels. Only when you enter to a higher level of calmness, can you have a higher level wisdom. In this world, no one has had a straight smooth life with no challenges since the day they were born. However, if you learn to maintain a true inner peace, you will have less wrong turns and hit less walls and dead ends.“
Calmness facilitates one’s ability to clearly think in challenging situations to make the most appropriate decisions and actions. Many have the desire to be calm, some have made becoming calm a daily goal, and some may even believe they have achieved true calmness. However, unfortunately most do not understand the different levels of calmness that can be achieved, are unable to assess which level of calmness they have currently attained, and lack the knowledge and ability to achieve higher levels of calmness.
During this retreat Master Ou will discuss the function and positive results of calmness; and teach us how to develop the quality of being calm, peaceful, open, and tolerant. Specifically he will teach:
1. How to perform a self assessment to better understand our current level of calmness and tolerance,
2. How to manifest the state of calmness, and
3. How to move through the different levels and achieve the highest level of calmness and tolerance.
By focusing on the 5 virtues of Calmness, Tolerance, Humbleness, Diligence, and Persistence, individuals will dramatically improve the quality of Kindness and Love, and the quality of their Pangu Shengong practice. It is through the focusing on both the quality and quantity of Pangu Shengong practice that enables individuals to increase the amount of chi they cultivate through daily practice. The more chi cultivated, the more energy is available for the body to use to heal and evolve on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. By mastering one’s ability to achieve and sustain the highest levels of these virtues, true spiritual transformation will occur.
More than 20 years ago, Master Ou wrote in his essays collection The Kind and Beautiful Flowers, “To learn Pangu Shengong is like to plant a healthy seed in your body and soul. How to ensure this seed – roots, sprouts, blooms, and bears fruit? In other words, how to achieve a healthier and happier life? We need to perform two actions: 1) Do the Pangu Shengong practice every day, which is equal to “watering” a plant, and 2) Try one’s best to be calmer and kinder then yesterday, which is equal to “fertilizing” the plant, making sure the plants have rich fertilized soil to grow with. How to be calmer and kinder? We must have more love and less hate, have more tolerance and less bad temper. Better not to loss one’s temper at all!”
And – During this retreat Master Ou will also share his knowledge, skills, and abilities for transforming the foods that we consume on a daily basis into highly nourishing substances that provide nurturing chi to both ourselves and to others that we share meals. For those who have tasted dishes cooked by Master Ou they will agree that his cooking is delicious, healthy, and full of love. In the two cooking classes offered during this retreat, we will show you step by step how to cook “Ou Style” cuisine. You may watch and take notes, or you may cook along with us!
