None scheduled at this time.
In your training, do not be in a hurry,
for it takes a minimum of ten years to
master the basics and advance to the
first rung. Never think of yourself as
an all-knowing, perfected master; you
must continue to train daily with your
friends and students and progress
together in the Art of Peace.
