Selon un vieux conte japonais, un jour un samouraï belliqueux somma un maître zen de lui expliquer ce qu’étaient le paradis et l’enfer.
Le moine lui répondit avec mépris:
– Tu n’es qu’un rustre, je n’ai pas de temps à perdre avec des gens de ton espèce.
Se sentant insulté, le samouraï devint furieux et, tirant son épée, cria:
– Je pourrais te tuer pour ton impertinence.
– Voilà ce qu’est l’enfer, répliqua le moine calmement.
Surpris par la vérité de ces paroles, le samouraï se calma, rengaina son épée, salua le maître et le remercia de l’avoir éclairé.
– Et voilà le paradis, ajouta celui-ci.

What you are about to observe did not happen overnight but was the result of months of preparation. Here he goes! »
A figure appears on the screen. David looks relaxed and confident, about to begin a complex series of movements and balances. He stands momentarily poised on the brink, hesitates a moment; then, with eyes focused ahead, not looking down, his mind focuses completely on the task at hand, he begins to move. His body remains relaxed as he engages the first move.
Suddenly, with a tremor, he starts to fall!! Find out more about David Seale
