I remembered one Tai Chi student wanted wisdom from me. I told him I got no wisdom. I learned the wisdom from the books and articles written by great masters.
" I don't have time to read and I felt sleepy when I started to read a book. Fur
ther more I couldn't understand what all these great masters are talking about. It was so confusing. One moment they asked to look at the heart, the next moment at the mind." said my student.
Yes. I also got the same problem when I first started reading all these books. It took me a few months to finish reading a book. I still couldn't grasp the true understanding or meaning out of the book. So I went to see my master and asked him why.
My master told that I hadn't accumulate enough of merits yet. I hadn't practice my meditation to a stage of calmness and stillness yet. So as I read the book, my mind started to think of something else. Without the full focus and concentration, I missed the meaning of the teachings.
Do all of you have such problems too?
