Princess said: "How did your master train the stillness skill?"
When I was studying the Dao with my master, King Qi had my master train the most combat-capable chicken for him.
King Qi loved cockfighting, and every time there was a cockfight he wanted to win. King Qi ordered people to select from all over the fiercest, most aggressive chicken. He hoped Zhuangzi would train this chicken to become the number one expert under heaven.
My master received the assignment and did not rush. He simply let that aggressive chicken stay still, according to its aggressive nature.
Ten days later, King Qi sent someone to inquire: "How is the chicken's training going?"
Master said: "Not trained yet. This chicken is inwardly empty, arrogant in demeanor, relies on its abilities, can only hear praise, cannot tolerate criticism; it bullies others, bad habits hard to change! It still needs further training!"
After King Qi's envoy left, the master increased the training intensity: he forced the chicken to sit quietly, and starved its belly, giving it only some clear water and a few grass seeds.
Another ten days passed, and King Qi's envoy came again to ask: "Has the chicken been trained?"
"Not yet! This chicken's arrogance has slightly diminished, but it still has aggressiveness. Upon hearing others' slander, it still feels dissatisfaction and harbors resentment. It still needs further admonishment and training!" The master explained to King Qi's envoy.
Thus, another ten days passed, and King Qi's envoy came again to inquire about the chicken's training situation.
The master said, "Almost there. Its arrogance is basically gone, but when it looks at things, its gaze remains as sharp and fierce as before, and there is still hatred in its eyes. I still need to further smooth its edges, completely eliminating the hatred in its heart."
Ten days later, King Qi's envoy came again. My master told the envoy: "It's trained. Look, many chickens surround it, those chickens are insulting it, slandering it, mocking it, pressuring it, provoking it..."
Facing insults, slander, mockery, pressure, provocation... it shows not the slightest reaction, remaining unmoved by everything around it, like a wooden chicken. Dumb as a wooden chicken..................................
But it has inner excellence, settled and focused, with confidence in its chest, able to respond calmly in battle. Great wisdom appears foolish, great skill appears clumsy.........
Only in this way can one be invincible in the battle of fate, unstoppable in attack. This is the meaning of the stillness and purity that my master taught me.
Now I will use the ultimate technique of stillness and purity taught by my master, and recite the secret of my master's master.
Little sister, please recite earnestly with me..................................
