Some thoughts about the teacher-disciple religion

From the days I spent in Poland with my brothers and sisters practicing at Dai Nghia VXNG dojo until now, I have always had a belief in the sincere feelings and enthusiasm for Noi Gia Vinh Xuan and for VXNG dojo.

That was further confirmed by the return trip to Vietnam of Mr. Truong Anh Tuan - Head of Dai Nghia Dojo's Executive Board and Mr. Do Manh Dong - a disciple of Dai Nghia Dojo.

Even though they had been back in Vietnam for a few days, they expressed to my master a noble wish to visit the grave of Vietnamese Wing Chun Master Nguyen Te Cong.

It was very touching and I was very happy to fly with Mr. Bui Ta Hieu - Head of the VXNG Dojo Executive Board on behalf of the Dojo Executive Board to Ho Chi Minh City to visit the grave of Master Nguyen Te Cong along with his master and two brothers.

My teacher and I took an early flight on April 11 from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City and around 9:00 a.m., we were at the house of Mr. Nguyen Chi Thanh - the son of the Master.

In the suspenseful atmosphere, meeting at Mr. Thanh's house, Mr. Tuan and Mr. Dong always expressed their feelings and respect for the Master and both confided the same thing: The fact that they had an audience with Mr. Thanh, his son

Mr. Thanh was very touched by the feelings of our teachers and students, of the brothers who traveled thousands of miles from Poland to Vietnam to come to him and visit his father's grave.

There was an old student of my master from 1981 - 1983 named Pham Hong Son.

This time, when he heard that our teacher and students had returned from visiting the tomb of Master Nguyen Te Cong and his brothers from Poland, Mr. Son also put aside everything to come and meet him immediately (see photo).In front of everyone, discussing his training issues, Mr. Son confided his feelings: "Even though I

Since December of the Year of the Dog until now, this is the third lunar year and also the third time I have visited the Master's grave.

Due to work, my teacher and I flew to Hanoi at 8:10 p.m. the same day.

Joy and happiness welled up inside me.

The more I think about it, the more I understand that my master's actions and feelings towards the sect's Patriarchs, Master Nguyen Te Cong and the other Masters over the years have truly been an example and become an example.

At this moment, I seemed to understand what my father often taught: "Martial arts is not only about teaching moves, but also about how to be a human being."

In recent years, in addition to the trips arranged by my master, a number of VXNG disciples have also taken the opportunity to come and burn incense at Master Nguyen Te Cong's grave, expressing their sincere gratitude.

I think Master Nguyen Te Cong, along with the other monks of the sect, must also be very pleased with the deep, respectful feelings of our teachers and students.

Images of the noble gestures and sincere words of my fellow students in both Vietnam and Poland lingered in my mind, making me feel calm and forget the darkness that had surrounded me.
