In our Taiji the Beloved Student is a student who gives to the practice in excess to what they receive from the teacher/teaching. (It was coined by Dr Chi to describe our own beloved teacher.) It is a far cry from the obsession nowadays with special offers and bargains. Nothing seems to delight the average person more than knowing they have received more than they have given. So what makes a student 'beloved' rather than simply 'good'? The fact that they work out of love.
