Okay, that is where I got it from, and I'm happy to cite Master Li as the source.

But in case you didn't know, Master Li was actually quoting a traditional Buddhist phrase, which I would imagine is common throughout all of Chinese Buddhism, and that's why it is relatable to the audience he's speaking to.

Hi Derek,
I think you might want to mention who this particular quote is from,"When the wish to cultivate is in your heart, it shakes the world of ten directions."

since you used it…I read it in Zhuan Falun, a book on true cultivation not anime and Shifu Li asked that we reference his name or the book if we use a direct quote

thanks

Haha. Okay, then. Every word spoken and every deed done, has both internal and external characteristics, just as each human has both Buddha Nature and Demon Nature. There is wisdom to be found in both.

Just to mention it while I am at this; I also took what you said here literally Derek. That is all for now. Cheers.

That's true, although there are two phrases that come to mind from Chinese culture.

"When the student is ready, the master will appear."

"When the wish to cultivate is in your heart, it shakes the world of ten directions."

They both imply that it starts with us.
