I have been hearing our Teacher's talk about "surpassing" for many years. Until only recent few months, I have come to realize that my experience about "surpassing" or "transcending" was rather limited.
- I initially understood this term at its face value - surpassing my habits.
- Then I realized that I should surpass my thoughts.
- Then I realized that I should surpass my favorite quotations.
- Then I realized that I should surpass whatever I hold on to as right, correct or absolute.
- Then I realized that I should surpass whatever I felt comfortable.
- Then I realized that I should surpass whatever state, accomplishment or phenomenon I reach.
- Then I realized that I should surpass everything continuously until enlightenment.
This was my journey from a single word from my Teacher.
I am so grateful.

Head Teacher - Yet there is nothing that I could say that you don't already know. Put them into your practice is also your job and not mine. What is there to teach?
