Beginning

'This is the moment of embarking
All auspicious signs are in place'

In the beginning, all things are hopeful. We prepare outselves to start anew. Though we may be intent on the magnificent journey ahead, all things are contained in this first moment: our optimism, our faith, our resolution, our innocence.

We must make a strong connection to our inner selves.Alone and naked, we negotiate all of life's travails. Therefore, we alone must make something of ourselves, transforming ourselves into the instruments for experiencing the deepest spiritual essence of life.

Deng Ming-Dao
