on why we study skiingI think I understand why you ski. Most of you are seeking something. You don't know whom to trust or what teaching to believe, so you come here looking for something. I cannot give you what you are seeking, because I myself don't believe in any particular thing. I don' t say that skiing is skiing, or that skiing is technique, or enlightenment, or happiness. Skiing is more than that. You are seeking for something, whether it is technique or an image, or something else. When you realize it is not always so, you cannot believe in those things anymore. And your way of seeking will change. You are carried along by your skis, but you also have to handle them, direct them. Even though you understand how to ski, that does not mean you are able to do it. It is very difficult. That is why we practice. Most people are not only fooled by something, they are also fooled by themselves, by their ability, their beauty, their confidence, or their outlook. We should know whether or not we are fooling ourselves. When you are fooled by something else, the damage will not be so big, but when you are fooled by yourself, it is fatal. So we make rules just to make skiing easier. But it is not always necessary to stick to the rules. What is important is to extend your way of life deeper and wider. To make a perfect turn is not necessary when you are ready to appreciate things. Your skiing should explain your life in your own way.
