When the student is Ready, the Teacher appears
Recently, I watched the film Kung Fu Panda 2 with my family. At the beginning of the movie there is a scene where the Panda’s sensei catches a rain drop on his hand while doing Tai Chi. He wields it, moves with it, flows with it, and brings the rain drop gently, with fluidity, down to a blade of grass, letting it roll off the tip of his finger. Finally, the blade of grass ever-so-lightly bends, and the rain drop rolls off and is absorbed into the water of a pond.
