克利 Patrick A Kelly

Patrick A Kelly

began Taiji with an experienced student of Master Huang Xingxian in 1973. In 1977 he moved to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia where he studied full time in Master Huang's school. In 1979, following tradition, Master Huang accepted Patrick as his personal disciple - the only non-Chinese to ever enter Huang's inner-school. From that time Patrick Kelly travelled and taught beween Asia, Australasia and Europe while continuing to learn personally with Master Huang untill his death late 1992. Simultaneously Patrick worked closely both with the Naqshibandi Gnostic Sage Abdullah Dougan for 14 years until Abdullah's death in 1987 and for 30 years with the Raja Yogi Mounimaharaj of Rajasthan who died in 2007 at more than 105 years old.

1973年，派瑞克利开始向黄性贤大师的一位资深学生学习太极。1977年，他来到马来西亚吉隆坡，在黄性贤大师的学校全日制学习太极。1979年，遵循传统惯例，黄性贤大师收派瑞克利为徒，他成为了黄性贤大师唯一的非华人入室弟子。自那时起，派瑞克利往来于亚洲、澳洲及欧洲教拳，同时继续私下向黄性贤大师学习，直至大师于1992年末去世。同一时期，派瑞克利还跟随纳什般迪派和诺斯替派哲人阿卜杜拉多安学习十四年，直到1987年阿卜杜拉去世，跟随拉贾斯坦的胜王瑜伽大师穆尼玛哈拉吉学习三十余年，直至穆尼大师在2007年以105岁高龄去世。

At the express wish of his teachers,

with the aim of making available the esoteric principles of internal development through the practice of True Taiji, Patrick established a Europe wide teaching network. This is a loose association of mature intelligent practitioners - with no committees, no fees, no rules, no obligations, no school to join and none to leave - people simply practice what is taught with more or less energy and intelligence according to their choice. Within it 50 senior practitioners (20+ years Taiji and 14+ years with Patrick) along with 150 close practitioners (average 14 to 20 years Taiji) teach some thousands of students through their fully independent schools.

在老师的明确表示下，旨在公开太极训练的内功修炼秘诀，派瑞克利在欧洲建立了广泛的太极训练网络。这是一个由成熟的练习者组成的松散组织，无委员会，无会费，无章程，无责任，也没有正式的学校，人们只是根据自己的精力和智慧按照老师教的去训练。其中有50位资深练习者，（练习太极超过20年并跟随派瑞克利超过14年），以及150位关系密切的练习者，（练习太极14至20年），他们在各自完全独立的太极学校中训练数千位太极学生。

From mid 2013 on,

after 42 years of inner work with the last 21 years teaching Taiji openly in Europe, Patrick will withdraw from public teaching. Those who have trained with him sincerely in the past will still have opportunities for contact. Those schools of his senior students, who most purely teach the art of Master Huang Xingxian as formulated and passed on by Patrick, will be supported. Most of his energy and purpose will be concentrated within. As a result of this he will also begin a further 21 year endeavour to clarify in detail the purely spiritual art of "reaching for the beyond" - for those few who sincerely wish to know.

自2013年中，在练习了四十二年内功并在欧洲公开教拳二十一年以后，派瑞克利逐渐退出公开教学工作。他仍和衷心随他训练的学生保持联络，并支持资深学生开办的学校，这些学校大多依照派瑞克利的规划，专注教授黄性贤大师的功法。至此，他将开始下一个二十一年的尝试，为少数衷心希望了解的人，细致阐述"达到超越"的纯精神之术。

The 'euroseminars past'

were, by agreement, a chance for me to concentrate my teaching on those people who chose to concentrate their learning on the taiji as I taught it. In the second 7 years I directed the training more towards the mind. For the final 7 years I increased the spiritual content and gently eased out those with a more external interest. I brought precious things from some very great teachers, and gave them out very freely but not all who have learned from me understood what was taught or were able to accept it. Some were blocked by past teachings (cup too full), some by lack of practice, some by arrogance (ego), some by jealousy. Most of those people have already been pressured out by their own inner conflict and my helping hand. It was necessary for them to leave or they would have interfered with the future evolution of this teaching.

"曾经的欧洲研讨会"，作为承诺，让我有机会集中精力教那些集中选择我的教法学习太极的人。在第二个七年里，我将训练转向了内心。在最后的七年里，我增加了心灵的内容，并渐渐减少那些更注重表面的学生。 我带着来自伟大老师的珍贵宝藏，将它们无偿传授于众，但不是我所有学生都能理解或能够接受所学。人停滞不前，有些是困在之前的训练中（如茶杯已满），有些是困在缺乏训练，有些是因为傲慢（自负），有些是由于嫉妒。大部分这样的学生，已经在自己的内心矛盾和我的援手下被迫退出了。他们的离开是必要的，否则他们必将干预未来的教学发展。

I explained during the first 10 years

in Europe, "There are only two ways not to make progress. Of people who begin Taiji, 90% accumulate some knowledge and skill, but their practice is not intense enough to really change them. Of the 10% who do achieve some inner growth, 90% don't handle their success well. The ego becomes inflated with attachment to accumulated knowledge and skill, blocking further internal change. This becomes obvious to others but people seldom see it themselves." And further, "If they hoped to be better than they are, they may blame you and leave for another teacher. If they believe they are better than they actually are, they may get upset when corrected, leave, and often start teaching as independent teachers, passing on their misunderstanding of my teaching to others. Not many escape these traps, but if the student's wish to learn and go deeper is true, they will easily pass through them. Pushed by a well-trained teacher and pulled by the Deep Mind, success is inevitable if people keep going."

在欧洲最初的十年里，我的解释是"只有两种方法让人无法进步。练太极的人中，有90%的人积累了许多知识和技能，但他们的训练强度无法引起真正的改变。10%的人能够取得内功的发展，而其中90%的人没能正确对待他们的成就。伴随知识与技巧的积累，膨胀的自我阻断了他们进一步的内功发展。这对于别人来说显而易见，但他们自己很难察觉。"进一步来说"如果他们期望超过实际，他们或许会归咎于老师，并另寻名师。如果他们坚信自己比实际更优异，他们会对指正感到不自在，离开，开始独立教学，将他们误解的我所教的内容传授给别人。不是每个人都能逃出这个陷阱，但是如果学生真心希望深入学习，他们很容易就越过这些。在训练有素的老师的拉动下，和自己内心的推动下，人们坚持就必然会成功。"

Patrick's true contact, both external and internal,

with the 3 great streams of esoteric teachings - the East Asian, the Indian and the Middle Eastern/European - supports this teaching, which aims to lead people deeply inside themselves towards the one formless Source which has no name. Patrick's experiences within these 3 streams enliven his teaching. This worldwideway might condense to a few words:
派瑞克利由内至外真实接触到来自东亚、印度和中东欧洲的三大神秘流派，这些支持着他的教学，即引领人们深入自己寻找那无名无形的本源。派瑞克利在这三大流派的个人经历使他的教学更富活力。

"Seek a broad balance of experience in life":
harm no one,
understand others - change yourself,
feel gratitude for the positive in whatever life brings.

"Deepen consciousness":
using any helpful exercises or meditations,
inward through the 3 levels of human existence,
etheric, astral and celestial
(jing, qi and shen).

"Reach out for the Beyond":
realising, as the Beyond grows within,
that your outer human existence is next to nothing...more
