One day Buddha was walking through a village. A very angry and rude young man came up and began insulting him. “You have no right teaching others,” he shouted. “You are as stupid as everyone else. You are nothing but a fake.”

Buddha was not upset by these insults. Instead he asked the young man “Tell me, if you buy a gift for someone, and that person does not take it, to whom does the gift belong?”

The man was surprised to be asked such a strange question and answered, “It would belong to me, because I bought the gift.”

The Buddha smiled and said, “That is correct. And it is exactly the same with your anger. If you become angry with me and I do not get insulted, then the anger falls back on you. You are then the only one who becomes unhappy, not me. All you have done is hurt yourself.”

“If you want to stop hurting yourself, you must get rid of your anger and become loving instead. When you hate others, you yourself become unhappy. But when you love others, everyone is happy.”

"Everyone exists in the shadow of the mission. . . No one is exempt from the resonant field of the calling, but so many follow the scattered pathways of mundane immediacy without the forethought of enlightened sleep or the nagging chill of inexorable destiny."

Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.

This was truly a special weekend of Tae Kwon Do events with students and teachers from around the country. Congratulations to all the black belts who took their test through 6th Dan!

Congratulations to all who were promoted this past weekend! Time to learn the new forms!

You can never be the best that you can be if you lose your humility.
