Spreading Service
By: Justin Stone
Sister Antonia phoned to say “hello” recently and I was glad to hear from her. She has been traveling a lot this past year and her trips have been very effective for T’ai Chi Chih. Mainly, she has staged retreats in various cities, introducing TCC to new students, planning teacher’s training classes for experienced students, and spreading the feeling of service in many directions. I respect her highly for these efforts.
Sister has greatly improved her own performance since being appointed “Guide” and her vocal efforts are very effective. She has a great ability to resist fatigue as she moves from place to place. No doubt she is physically and mentally very strong. It’s very evident she is not doing this for profit as she is living under a vow of poverty. She has traveled as far as Italy to encourage new teachers there.
I write this to spread the word that I am delighted with my appointment of Sister and her efforts. Naturally, New Jersey has become a hotbed of T’ai Chi Chih and its service.
LETTERS TO JUSTIN
Justin will be 93 years old in a few months. Since scores of letters lie unanswered on the floor, and reach far beyond his ability to answer them in detail, he asks that his students, teachers, and friends not to write to him in the future. Only bills and such will be answered while he conserves his energy. Thanks.
