ILC Winter Retreat - Thank you!

Thank you to everyone who made the 1st Annual ILC Winter Retreat an amazing success.

Thank you Sifu Sam Chin and Simo, Yen Lee and Yin Yin for choosing Tucson as the location for the ILC Winter Retreat and the first public 7 Days training intensive in the US.

It was wonderful seeing students from the US get a chance to meet and train with Alex Skalozub, Daria Sergeeva, as well as see, in the Russian visitors skill, where our training curriculum can take students dedicated practice.

As for my team, I especially want to bring attention to Gregory Hollick for his untiring behind the scenes efforts helping the event run smoothly. If something needed to done, he made it happen without drama or fuss.

Team members take a bow.

Dr. Gregory Hollick, Thumb and Film Acquisition
Maria Peters, Transportation
Bobby Bloom, Security and Lighting
Dale Turner, Flora and Fauna, Sustainability, Recycling and Sanitation

What Students Say About Training & Everyday Life

Kalama Sutta (Kalama Sutra)

Do not simply believe what you hear just because you have heard it for a long time.
Do not follow tradition blindly merely because it has been practiced that way for many generations.
Do not be quick to listen to rumors.
Do not confirm anything just because it agrees with your scriptures.
Do not foolishly make assumptions.
Do not abruptly draw conclusions by what you see and hear.
Do not be fooled by outward appearances.
Do not hold on tightly to any view or idea just because you are comfortable with it.
Do not accept as fact anything that you yourself find to be illogical.
Do not be convinced of anything out of respect and deference to your spiritual teachers.

You should go beyond opinion and belief. You can rightly reject anything which when accepted, practiced and perfected leads to more aversion, more craving and more delusion. They are not beneficial and are to be avoided. Conversely, you can rightly accept anything which when accepted and practiced leads to unconditional love, contentment and wisdom. These things allow you time and space to develop a happy and peaceful mind. This should be your criteria on what is and what is not the truth; on what should be and what should not be the spiritual practice.
