The Untouchable Bruce Lee


Master Wong and students at Bruce Lee's grave in Seattle

How can a hero loved by millions be killed by one single evil mind? Bruce Lee died suddenly, without real explanation. Doctors failed to give conclusive evidence as to how someone as fit and aware as Bruce was could pass away in such manner. His death had an atmosphere of mystery surrounding it, and to someone who understands, the scent of foul play. At the time of his death, Bruce's physical appearance changed. This is highlighted in the movie 'Enter The Dragon'. Statements made at the time suggest that Bruce was at the peak of his physical health, but to a trained eye, something was wrong.

Finding a new level of Kung-Fu: (Jeet-Kune-Do)

Bruce's character from childhood was of a natural shining star, someone who always stood out, who flourished in attention. Although Bruce studied philosophy, he sometimes lacked real experience of a spiritual nature due to his strong influence from the new and exciting western society. In his early life, Bruce didn't have the chance to learn from a spiritual master, which is understandable, given how rare a chance it is to find the kind of teacher willing and able to reveal the ultimate way of life. This meant Bruce would have to find and travel upon his own path. Whilst experiencing many systems, he found many problems and limits, especially with more traditional styles. No one could offer him a way of achieving his ultimate goal. Many traditional as well as modern teachers lacked the basic understanding of cultivation of the heart to bring emotional content in to their martial art. These masters reach a certain level but are still only floating on the surface of truth, never having the understanding to see the ocean bed. Some even use the name of Buddhism and other spiritual paths to satisfy their own egos and bank accounts. 

Just Before Bruce Lee Enters The Door
(The Ultimate Truth 'Emptiness')


Bruce Lee was highly intelligent, far before his time. He understood his body and knew the way to develop his abilities, reaching an extremely unequaled level of achievement in martial arts in this material world. 'A new style of martial arts without limitations, the ultimate.' Bruce trained his emotions and became their master. He used his joy, anger and fear mixed with experiences to improve himself, rising to new heights in his field. There was only one thing at that time he was still unable to explore, not forgetting he was still young. This missing key was the understanding and practice of greater wisdom, 'the real indestructible truth.' Maybe if Bruce had lived longer, he would indeed have developed this deeper understanding. Compared to normal martial artists, Bruce was far superior, he drew his power from his life, maybe he thought he had the ultimate in his hands. It is his misunderstanding and lack of guidance which stopped him leaning, making himself vulnerable to outside forces (spiritual radiation), creating his tragic and premature death. He lacked the fate to travel further.

Brandon Lee, Son Of The Little Dragon

Brandon was just eight years old when his beloved father died. He had worshiped the man who had cared and loved him so much. Tragedy had separated them and who was to know that tragedy would also reunite them. Brandon suffered emotionally trying to live in the shadow of his legendary father, eventually facing it and learning to understand how to deal with his past experiences. Brandon built an acting career with his own merits helped by his fathers memory, reaching the edge of world wide recognition only to have the chance snatched away from him by disaster.
