I did not know Justin Stone but I do feel his presence when I practice. I thank him for T’ai Chi Chih and Seijaku and everything he put out there for us to read. For he knows what he’s talkin’ about. Thanks again, Justin, and I wish you well on your journey.

Justin prepared us so well for his death, for our own deaths, for the death of everything and everyone we hold dear. In doing so, he really encouraged us to live. “Suffer the leaves to fall …” This was the heart of his teaching. I am so grateful for all he taught me while he was alive, and all that he continues to teach me through his death.

In a world of “Saints and Ain’ts,” Justin was not an Ain’t. My first solo encounter with Justin was at the Albuquerque conference in 2005. The elevator door opened; he was riding alone. I got in. Ten years, finally meet him, and I got nuthin’. I think I said, “Fancy meeting you here.” As the elevator started down again, he smiled and assured me, “Don’t worry, the elevator doesn’t go down any faster for me than anybody else.” I remember the twinkle in his eye like it was yesterday.

Justin’s presence in my life has been, and shall continue to be, through his Essence … It is tangible, yet of the Formless … True alignment with Universal Chi, flowing unimpeded … Opening me to Truth … the One … His gift to me is that through T’ai Chi Chih practice we transform the quality of our Chi, and negative tendencies and patterns “cannot grow in the new balanced soil.” I value deeply that over the years I had several clear moments of conversation with Justin … We spoke of keeping T’ai Chi Chih pure … and I feel honored that he knew my sincerity, my Teh. We also connected through music, since I, too, am a pianist. His life taught me simplicity … Crystal precise alignment … Being. Thank you Justin. Peace.

I am forever grateful for all that Justin Stone has given me through T’ai Chi Chih, his books, and his vision. I meditated for 16 years before finding TCC, and the profound peace I experienced in only a mater of weeks was incomparable. TCC sent me on a journey of self-discovery that I will always treasure. I never knew Justin personally, but my life was forever changed by his prodigious vision for human kind. Thank you, Justin. Thank you to all who helped communicate the practice and its principles to me. You have allowed me to change others’ lives as well.

My favorite memory of Justin was at the August 2001 teacher’s conference in Morago, CA. One morning, all of us (about 175 teachers) were seated in the conference room. We were asked to break out into smaller groups to discuss specific T’ai Chi Chih-related topics. After finishing the discussions, we gathered again as one big group. One volunteer from each small group then spoke to all the teachers about their group’s topic. Afterwards, I walked over to Justin. I mentioned something to him, but his response had nothing to do with what I had said. He was annoyed, and I thought it was with me! He then said (in response to listening to the teachers speak), “Do you realize how many “umm’s were said?” I quickly said, “Justin, we weren’t saying umm, we were saying OM …” He laughed, patted me on the shoulder, and said, “That’s pretty good.”

Of course this is a time to reflect. I am grateful that I found Justin and Carmen on the PBS TV series, where I first learned how to do T’ai Chi Chih, which brought me much joy and which changed my life.

The five days at Green Gulch changed my life. I am forever grateful. Thank you Justin Stone.

Dear Uncle Justin: It is so beautiful the way you have touched the lives of so many. I know that your teachings will continue to bring health and healing for generations to come. My hope was to finally meet you this spring. My life has been in difficult transition for the past several years. I look forward to building a practice of your T’ai Chi Chih and connecting with you in that way. It is clear to me that you will live on in the hearts of your students and friends. I’m happy to know that you are so well loved. I’m so glad to have named my son Justin after you. With respect and gratitude.

Justin … what can I say except “Batavia Downs!” … “My mind understands (your passing) but my heart cannot speak…” Go into the Light, my friend and teacher.
