The Essence with MASTER SHI HENG YI - FULL INTERVIEW 🐲

so welcome Shu thank you so much for accepting this invitation it's uh I know how busy you are and it's really big honor for me to be again in your presence and to touch the essence which you embody after a lifelong Shing arts practice so it's a pleasure to to taste a little bit of this fruit of wisdom which you bring and I would like to first of all ask you what comes to your heart and to your mind when you connect with this word essence so even even if when I practice my Shaolin Arts let's say in the very beginning it has been very very physically demanding always so my focus was of course like training the body getting faster getting more stamina everything very very much physical related but after some time when I spent in this area of course then you also get the influences or the ideas that there must be something more than just like to the physical body than just to learning one form after another yeah there are many there are so many forms existing for example that we learn in this system and I just started asking myself the question okay what's the point of learning all the forms mhm if none of these forms has some type of deaths MH so and this deps this is for me very very similar like saying you can practice as many forms and movements as you like if none of them has the essence inside well then it's maybe nice to look at them but something is just missing so that means Essence for me is something in in many different layers um that also you can access in different let's say in different ways I think if you ask different people everybody has a different idea of what the essence for him is him or her is but they all have something in common because normally essence you cannot see it it's nothing that can be seen it's nothing that maybe is in the world of an um of a superficially based view Essence is something more deep Essence is something with more substance Essence is something related also to the source to the source of what is it that is allowing life for us humans that is allowing life for like all the plants over there this is all for me like a part of what is Essence yeah I mean it's it's such a huge area yes but it's this type of Direction so what is it that is fueling your daily life what is it that is like fueling and giving you motivation actually to go out in the world and meet people what is your main basic driver this can also be like a Essence MH yeah yeah thank you so I was wondering like you speak so much and so many really important things you talk about principles you talk about values you talk talk about qualities which we can Master within ourselves I was just wondering if you could like essentially explain what is your main message you are trying to give across to all of us in your teachings there are many guidelines values virtues in a way which are like have been written down and passed on from generation to generation okay so but somewhere along the line when I started like growing up when I also realize I'm also getting older mhm just looking at my own life let's start like this I started to do the training because I think if your body has some type of performance is useful because if I would like to go hiking on one of the the hills over here there's no way to hike them without some type of physical Vitality so health and the strong body anyway was my interest this is then where people ask me but how do you develop the strength of your legs how to develop the strength of the upper torso and I can only share what I have so the only thing that I was doing is I just said what I think was useful for Me Maybe it's useful for you on the physical level but at the same time also realize ing along the line that it's not everything only about physicality that it's also about sometimes I don't know you have discussions you have conflicts you see something in the world that is like that in the way you don't like regardless of you say yeah but we shouldn't judge but the fact is you look out in the world there are things you don't like yes so and so the realization okay also to figure out what does it actually do with myself and with my quality of life if I continuously wake up just see problems everywhere and in the evening go to bed then it just feels for me it feels like a waste the day so that means on the long run this couldn't have been the solution in terms of how which type of perspective to have in looking out in the world and now here comes the point where you can use different type of guidelines different type of Virtues for example practice to have a little bit more compassion train yourself that you have a little bit more patience train yourself to be a little bit more thankful for the things that you have you know and by trying these out on myself I just realize okay actually in a way it's working MH so I feel the benefit of my own teachings let's say the most and the only thing that I'm doing is if people are asking me I only share with them what I think was working for me okay so that means there is no message in a way let's say precisely what I would like to spread out it's just that for everything there's an solution and the question is only if you have like the key sometimes to to solve that problem okay and this is where I think it's very valuable to sometimes meet people in all different type of areas that can that sometimes have this key okay and that's why for example even if I'm like primarily coming from the area of martial arts at the end but meanwhile you know I have a lot of people know know a lot of friends that also are in the field of like healing energy massage all of these things it's nothing that I know too much about but I still think everybody has somehow his or her place okay so as long as somewhere I feel the essence which is fueling each one of them is like the proper Essence mhm and that proper Essence for me is that it comes from the same source and this is the ultimate place at the source where we are connected or where this connection for me is being established because right now it's very clearly okay you sit on this on that chair I sit on this chair that is in this type there is no connection the connection is on another level yes the question is only if people who are walking in this world if they have this type of mindset that type of seat inside uh inside thems to realize what is the essence so yeah and the deeper something like uh enters into the Mind into your being yeah I think the more closer or the more immersive this connection becomes yes and also your teachings I feel like they bring a lot of tools to increase the quality of existing the quality of experiencing this life and lifestyle so that that's also what I feel it's valuable uh in one of your interviews you've been saying that you perceive some kind of a split within you in your Monastery and in the world in general you talked about New World Order I would say that somebody called it that way do you mind trying to stretch a little bit about that what is that change you see and uh yeah and how do you experience that so sometimes the the titles of all the videos that are on YouTube M I have no influence on the title sometimes okay because um sometimes they fit quite well sometimes also me I'm thinking okay let's accept it like this okay so just just like as a side effect so but that particular video that you were mentioning I really think I was just speaking out what I feel going on inside of myself mhm so very very simply said yeah because you know change anyway we have the change happening all the time all the time all the time just sometimes in your lifetime you realize the change but it doesn't have a big impact on yourself MH because you are still like comfortable where you are you feel the change but it still doesn't shake too much about you okay but sometimes can also happen that you have different uh influences coming or different impacts or different situations different experiences or different memories where you also like like see in on the one side somehow everything is repeating mhm and for me I think when I when when this video was published um I just I just felt that things are repeating on the one side okay and I started to become tired of it mhm okay so that means already for myself I have decided um beautiful one that there is no way to just remain uh remain where I am so for me definitely inside of myself I would like to embrace the change that's why I just spoke it out M now that what I spoke out sometimes just resonates with the people who listen to it mhm it's also not because the world is somehow different it's because the right people with the right energy that also feel something must change that's why they feel it's resonating that's why we think it's really going on out there it's not going on out there it's going on here yeah because this has changed this is going to change yes okay and yeah that that is just uh in short now why we actually came to this type of of video what I mentioned M so what do you feel would be like first step for human being towards that change which needs to happen we all feel it intuitively the change which is happening and where is it going somehow I believe that's that's what we are touching here so what in your feeling would be the first step towards that for everyday life for human okay I think it is the it would be good to introduce that term of awareness mhm what it practically means if you live a life with awareness or you live a life without awareness now everybody lives with awareness just some are conscious about it some know about it and actively integrate it into the way of uh living and others the awareness is just like it's a b product but they don't take it too much into consideration but the awareness this is something which should be placed at the priority list very very high because it's like the first step would be yeah if people ask what does it mean awareness what do you mean let's say rethink before you talk is one type of awareness M they're still sinking okay but before you speak out just whatever be aware of what you're speaking out be aware of what you are doing physical wise be aware of where you are stepping that would be like another area there are many areas where you can use this awareness it only means the more this awareness is there the less life seems to be a coincidence okay because the more aware you are the more connection you see the more connection you see the more sense things start to make for you and out of seeing this connection out of that suddenly things start to make sense and out of all of this I think that naturally arises a a way of living which if you go it all the way can only lead to it's it's a harmonic way of living without telling anybody what to believe in and who to pray to not talking about any of this just by opening up the mind and just becoming a little bit more aware of what is connected to what and how is it interrelated and when you start to see more of these things then it's uh then it's pretty obvious that it's not a coincidence mhm yeah so what would be a secret of harmonious relationships between people not Only Lovers not only friends and family like in general do you can you touch that what would be that secret of it I don't know let's say what I don't I don't know what or if I would call it the secret mhm but let's say I can only speak from my community or let's say my brotherhoods for example inside the temple and there it's just like this we know that each one of us has different strength and different weaknesses MH nevertheless because we are regarding ourself as brothers if one fails then of course the other ones just make sure to cover him to lift him up so the other ones are there it doesn't matter everybody will fail somehow some people are strong enough they can uh carry themsel lift themselves up again and if you have a Brotherhood or a Sisterhood or a community even where everybody has this idea of okay like uh he just failed he just suffered he just have problem let's help him so and everybody has this type so everybody wants the other person to grow beautiful this is like doesn't matter what type of relationship it is yes if you have a relationship where you like the other person to stay small it's it's it's stemed for it's not going to work yeah so this is the general mindset wherever you are if you want people to grow I think this is to expand to go beyond them themselves to become larger than than thems at the moment in all areas of life no matter who your meeting I think if you try somehow what can I do to bring out the best of you what can I do to bring out the best of another person sometimes you can do nothing then you just know okay maybe it's not my job somebody else will be the proper key mhm but the general idea is like this that's why we have these workshops we have these um things to share out people who resonate they resonate and who doesn't they will find somebody else something else where they will resonate thank you wow beautiful answer I really resonate with that one I would like to ask you because um I don't know if I introduced that uh I a big lover of lucid dreaming therapy to stay conscious also within a dream realm so I would always ask my uh guests uh about the dream and the relationship with dreams if you have any and do you sometimes have lucid dreams do you practice okay um I heard about these areas existing M uh I I really think I don't know too much about it to be able to to to speak in that field the only thing I realize about myself is when I'm sometimes dreaming first of all some of the dreams I don't remember the next day this is one type that happens some dreams I remember yes when I know that dreams are repeating on a regular basis I try to look at the essence at the meaning that that would come up for me why why this type of constellation in the dream okay and then I just ask myself is there something in my life which is still like unprocessed as long as it is a dream which is like disturbing for me if it's a nice dream then I just keep it yes yes okay so that is like the the main thing yeah yeah amazing yeah that's what I do as well I feel like this um subconscious is speaking in so many different languages and one of them is our dreams and that way we can become more aware of what's Happening inside and outside of our ourselves what is your favorite quote of T tou Ching which you feel like it's guiding your life do you have any like that it's not necessarily from the daging but one of them that I also shared a lot in the past is there are two mistakes along the way the first of all not starting it and the second of all not going all the way yeah and I think not starting not starting relates to what I think open the awareness open the mind for what else is there existing what else is there to explore so the first step is explore and the second one is just don't stop to explore and it's it's a quite nice one so I have a last question for you if tomorrow would be your last day on this planet in this body what would you choose to do what would I what would you choose to do on the last day of your life here on this planet how it would look like if you're mind to share I mean look right now I'm in kopang garden just had a workshop with many participants feeling very exhausted after the training still looking forward for the food which is going to come afterwards then have the possibility also I mean to go later at the beach and nothing gives me the guarantee nothing I don't have a guarantee knowing if I wake up tomorrow yes so meaning even if somebody now the doctor would come and tell me tomorrow morning you will not wake up again um yeah okay but I would still do the same stuff that I'm doing at the moment MH let's say like this yeah so it's not like if somebody would say you only have like one more day to live so that I would now choose to go to another country or to other people I don't know I wouldn't probably I feel very fine where I am right now and this is always what I also remind myself again it's a good one yeah not the past not the future it's now so yeah but still like big topics big topics still but maybe it helps helps to maybe it really helps that from different areas of of different areas of people like I said I come from the field of martial arts but I think that the martial art is also like a really really helpful and beneficial way of of introducing this like this part of the awareness to other areas of people that that you in your community maybe cannot reach directly I can reach them and vice versa as long as the essence of the people who like do these things uh is a proper one so and therefore I think it's yeah it's very nice meeting people along the way great thank you there is this uh amazing m movie uh called samsara have you have you seen it yes it's about the monk who is going to have a family life because he believes that before he tastes the family life he cannot truly renounce it because we only can truly renounce something which we already been attached to and at the end of this movie there's this quote or this question about how to stop a drop of water from drying out do you know the answer do you remember that yeah bring him back to the ocean yes throw it into the sea and also I believe and feel that you're sharing your essence with us and your wisdom you may make make it survive within our hearts within our souls and hopefully in our daily practice so thank you so much for being that drop of water who came to us to share your essence that's really great I appreciate you're welcome and have a lovely day stay in Kanga thank you we got it high five
