07 - T-STANCE: Fighting and winning by Courage and Strength The T-Stance reflects the
balance between courage and strength. This stance offers a strong, stable
position with the potential to launch powerful attacks. It signifies that
victory is achieved through a combination of confidence (courage) and
physical prowess (strength). Be
courageous and face challenges head-on. No
08 - TOWER Stance: People can trust you but you do not have to trust everyone The Tower Stance represents
the idea of stability and trustworthiness, but it also teaches discernment.
Just as a tower stands tall and unshakable, you must develop a reliable
character that others can trust. However, it’s important to exercise
caution—trust must be earned, not given freely. Learn to discern who deserves your trust.

POST 713 … Thu-Lan started her story: "In 1407, the
Chinese Ming army began to invade Vietnam and in 1414 the country was
occupied. Resistance to this occupation was organized, so, in 1418, Le-Loi, a
rich farmer in the village of Lam-Son, in the Thanh-Hoa Province, raised an
army. According to the legend, a fisherman found a sword in his net.
Believing it to be of celestial origin and sacred, he offered it to Le-Loi
for use in the war against the invaders. During the same period, Le Loi had
found a Seal fallen from the sky in his garden. Those facts had been
understood as the will of Heaven, thus, without questioning, Le-Loi had been
recognized as the chief chosen from the Gods. After ten years of fighting, on
29 December 1427, the Chinese Ming capitulated and withdrew. Le-Loi became
king and ruled over Vietnam under the name Le Thai-To. This is the legend,
but according to the interpretations of historians, the Seal and the sword
had been handed over to Le-Loi by the Thuan Thien Secret Society that had
supported him. Clara: "All this confirms the information
about the Society for national protection, which is in the document given to
me by my Master with some explanations when we met in Tokyo.» Thu-Lan continued: "Then shortly after
this, while Le-Loi was in a small boat on this lake, known in those days as
Thuy-Luc, the Green Water Lake, a giant turtle appeared on the surface of the
water. The king drew his sword and pointed it toward the turtle. The turtle
took the sword into its mouth and disappeared under the water, into the
depths of the lake. According to popular belief, the sacred turtle reclaimed
the sword because the king had fulfilled his mission of liberating Vietnam
and didn't need to possess it anymore. Since then the lake is called 'Lake of
the Restored Sword'. It is believed that the sword is still there in the
custody of the sacred turtle which keeps it safe for the next time Vietnam
might have to defend its freedom. For a long time there was a doubt about the
existence of giant turtles in the lake, but as you can see around 1968 a
giant turtle died in the lake and is now exposed on the temple site. Also,
recently, a giant turtle has been seen several times in the lake. This gives
credence to the legend and you can really believe that the sacred sword is
still at the bottom of the lake. Clara: "So until that day, after the death
of Quy-Su, nobody has managed to fulfill his sinister project of collecting
one hundred swords, earned by winning combats, and place them in the lake.
Quy-Su believed that the turtle would come to the surface bringing the sacred
sword and then it would transform itself into a fighter. This fighter would
have been ready to fight against Quy-Su for the liberation of the one hundred
souls of the brave Trang-Si who perished by Quy-Su’s sword. Quy-Su was ready
to win this last combat using as usual some subterfuges to possess the sacred
sword. However, he did not know that members of the Thuan-Thien Secret
Society had established a discreet surveillance close to the lake to prevent
anyone from taking the sacred sword. Bao-Dan saved the country by killing
Quy-Su during his combat at Nui-Hu. We have to continue to search for
documents which could give us information about Bao-Dan and the Sacred
Seal." After visiting this magnificent temple, built on
an island in the middle of the lake, they came back across the red wooden
bridge The-Huc, to return to the city and end the evening in the famous
Cha-Ca-La-Vong restaurant. The night had fallen. While walking in Hang-Ngang
Street and preparing to go to Cha-Ca Street, a van stopped abruptly next to
them. Before the two young women could be aware of any danger, the side door
opened and a muscular man who was standing on the sidewalk, grabbed Clara
from behind and jumped with her into the van, which quickly disappeared into
a small side street. The man who had followed them, began to attack Thu-Lan
to prevent her from intervening. Surprisingly, the man collapsed on the
sidewalk, inert, with no obvious signs of injury. Quick as lightning, Thu-Lan
“borrowed” a young man’s motorcycle arriving on the scene, jumped on it and
chased after the van. (to be continued) |
