While "Kun Li Long" is styled in traditional chinese, please consider this Tibetan definition of "kun long" as descriptive of the basis of our gong fu
Ethics
Kun Long
In Tibetan, the term for what is considered to be of the greatest significance in determining the ethical value of a given action is the individual's kun long.
Translated literally, the participle kun means "thoroughly" or "from the depths," and long (wa) denotes the act of causing something to stand up, to arise, or to awaken.
But in the sense in which it's used here, kun long is understood as that which drives or inspires our actions--both those we intend directly and those which are in a sense involuntary.
It therefore denotes the individual's overall state of heart and mind. When this is wholesome, it follows that our actions themselves will be (ethically) wholesome.
"The perfect way to do is to be" ~ Lao Tzu
