The Native American Taoist: Eva Wong, Lieh-Tzu

ABOUT THUNDERHANDS

About Me: "Wakiya" (Thunder)
I am a Tribal, Musician, Writer, Artist. I try to walk the path and have studied the tradition of the "Wisdom keepers" like Lame Deer, Fools Crow, Black Elk, and Rolling Thunder from the tribes of this region, and Lao Tzu, Buddha, Bodhidharma, Yeshua, and other enlightened ones from the many various tribes of the earth. I understand the worlds religions and belief systems, and realize the division this can cause by the lack of understanding the "real message" from the Masters. My intention, and life's prayer is to try to live in harmony with Grandmother Earth, Grandfather sky, (Nature) and "the spirit that moves in all things," and help in any way I can to build a bridge between all men and tribes so they can walk their path in a manner that will benefit themselves, the Earth and others. I open up, and ask Great Spirit, The creator, The Tao, The Universe, to work and direct healing and positive energy through me by different means, like the Flute, drums, Words, Prayer, and Touch. I try to be loving and accept others from the heart, and practice forgiveness. I honor all people, the winged one's, and four legged ones considering us all equal, not one being above another. I honor the bountiful Harvest from Mother earth in the form of plant life, water, air and herbs which sustain our oneness with her. I pray all tribes should re-unite as one, so we may protect the planet and live in harmony. Within you, without you.

Eva Wong, Lieh-Tzu

"Someone who knows how to withdraw when his work is finished [Wen-tzu said] is one who understands the way of heaven. He has no quarrels with the world and whatever he does follows the natural order of things. There are things that go against the natural way, but the natural way does not go against the order of things. Therefore, the enlightened person does not need eyes to see the Way. This is because the Way cannot be grasped with your senses and thoughts. Look for it in front and it will sneak behind you. Seek it with good intentions and it is everywhere. If you are insincere, it will never reveal itself. It is something that you cannot use your intellect to attain, but if you are not serious, it will escape you. Only in naturalness can it be kept. Knowing the truth of things and yet not clutching to the truth, knowing how to act and not using effort to do it, is the mark of a sage. If you pretend to know or not to know, pretend to do or not to do, you are just like a pile of dirt. It sits there doing nothing, but it is also worth nothing."
