The Dream:
"I want to make a place... a sanctuary for people to go to. A secluded
sanctuary in the middle of the forest. Imagine a building, not built over the
forest, but built IN the forest... made to be one with the forest. In
this temple are masters of the various martial arts of the world, and students
who are willing to devote not hours, but portions of their life to
training; whether it be months or years. These students are not
restricted to learning just one art... but to learn any martial art they can.
Unlike
in the ancient temples (and modern temples), spouses will be allowed in
the center. People will not have to chose between their families and
the arts. It will not, however, become a daycare fo children while
parents fufill their dreams.
Of course, there will be moral
and ethical standards to the students (and masters) of the center.
Peace is of course the meaning of all arts... there is a time and place
for competition. Profanity (including spousal relations) shall not be
allowed within the premises. People are being aloud to live with their
spuoses... but that doesnt mean they can do anything in the dorm rooms.
Through the gathering of these... disciples of the ancient traditions,
and learning in a supportive community environment, not
only is peace a probability... but the journey toward peace becomes
inevitable. "
