What Students Say About UCB Program & Everyday Life

Kalama Sutta (Kalama Sutra)

Do not simply believe what you hear just because you have heard it for a long time.
Do no follow tradition blindly merely because it has been practiced that way for many generations.
Do not be quick to listen to rumors.
Do not confirm anything just because it agrees with your scriptures.
Do not foolishly make assumptions.
Do not abruptly draw conclusions by what you see and hear.
Do not be fooled by outward appearances.
Do not hold on tightly to any view or idea just because you are comfortable with it.
Do not accept as fact anything that you yourself find to be illogical.
Do not be convinced of anything out of respect and deference to your spiritual teachers.

You should go beyond opinion and belief. You can rightly reject anything which when accepted, practiced and perfected leads to more aversion, more craving and more delusion. They are not beneficial and are to be avoided. Conversely, you can rightly accept anything which when accepted and practiced leads to unconditional love, contentment and wisdom. These things allow you time and space to develop a happy and peaceful mind. This should be your criteria on what is and what is not the truth; on what should be and what should not be the spiritual practice.

“ The "Sit and Spin" workshop in Tucson was awesome. Kelley led a powerful retreat. Following a morning of tai chi walking, spinning and standing stake from (8-12), we settled in for an afternoon (1-5) of sitting meditation and spinning. Focusing on breathing, the periods of quietness with the tranquil sounds of water flowing over rocks, created the condition for a heightened experience of spinning. Add the qualities of reverence, the partaking of tea, the guidence of a master teacher, and the mindfulness of the partners in spinning, and you have one of the best workshop I've ever attended. Thx, Kelley, for giving so much of yourself, and providing an excellent workshop. P.S. If you haven't added this experience to your I Liq Chuan training, don't miss the next meditation workshop! ”
