Right here and right now. Right here and right now. Right here and right now. This was the line that the young adept was repeating as he drew close to noon day prayers. Going through the trials and rights to become a master was not an easy job to do. The young student had to not only learn the history of the sacred knowledge but also embrace that knowledge and live it in his everyday life.
As time drew on and the young student became a young man, life’s pressures bore on him, turning him this way and that way, experiencing the many different emotions of a teenager coming into their own. Not only was there outside pressure from the world and his friends, but the pressure was even greater from home because his father was the old Grand Master who has ruled over the village for over 200 years.
Stumbling down the brick walkway sweating and panting because of the two mile run he just finished, the student fell at the front door to wash his face, hands and feet before he entered the holy temple where the rites and rituals were held by the Grand Master and the village people. Sitting in a cross legged position the student immediately dives into meditation with deep breathing techniques taught to him by his father, the Great Grand Master.
