Bando Philosophy
"No system is completely unique. No system is completely independent from external and internal influences. Every system evolves over time by integration, modification and restructuring, resulting in what we then call "uniqueness." Overtime, this unique system will also change." [His Holiness the Venerable Amarapura Sayadaw, 1910]
"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles" By Sun Tzu.
"Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend." Quote from Bruce Lee's
