     As I don't know where I come from originally I can start with what my father tells me. . .

      `,` After teaching his eager students, Master Glove came home
          to find my infant self on his step.  His radiant heart outreached
          to me and he took me into his home.  He treated me like I was
          his own, and taught me many things.  I knew no better than to
          call him Father.

       `,` While reaching further into my years, my father taught me much
          of the Shao Lin ways, but as I got older....so did my curiosity. He
          never withheld the fact that he wasn't my real father, but it still
          hurt me knowing that my parents gave me away.  In fact I can
          say that I was quite angered by it.

       `,` It was with this contempt in my heart that I chose to follow the
          the mighty Hyun moo, until I could know why I was abandoned at
          such a young age.  What could I have possibly done to deserve
          that kind of rejection?!  I picked up the Life lance, and in spite of
          my father's will, and smited many people who chose to oppose
          me.

       `,` Now, I know I need to seek the answers within myself and not
          in others.  It's time for me put down my Life lance and the 
          vengeance in my heart.  Instead, allow myself to only hold a
          walking stick.. if I am not aiding someone in healing.  I'm ready to
          finally find the peace within myself.

       `,` I love my father, and all the nuturing affection he's shown me.
          I don't need to know where I came from originally, he's the one
          who raised me.  Now that I realize where I come from, it's time
          to find who I am.

     I wish to be able to learn from everything around myself, to be able to fully understand everything inside of me. - Suffering exists, Suffering arises from attachment to desires, Suffering ceases when attachment to desire ceases, Freedom from suffering is possible by practicing the Eightfold Path. -  These four noble truths have started to shape me as I begin to let go of my desires.  Panna, sila, and samadhi will keep me to the Eightfold Path.
     Through mindfulness, investigation, energy, rapture, tranquility, concentration, and equanimity I will be lead to enlightment.  My foes such as sensuous lust, aversion, ill will, sloth, torpor, restlessness, worry, and sceptical doubt will do their best to plague my journey.  On this path, paramis, is achievable.

~`Forever learning'~
