Shaolin Gongfu Disciple

Kung Fu is a "way of life" to the Chinese. Not just because of the physical and time requirements of being a martial artist, rather, because of the moral and social expectations of a Kung Fu Master. In China, the Kung Fu Master is a pillar of the community.

This is not easily understood by Americans who hide from their neighbors and don't talk to strangers. "It's none of my business," is the theme of America.

Hopefully, this book, Shaolin Gongfu Disciple, will inspire more people to become active in their communities. Protecting the weak, inspiring the meek, and being role models for youth is expected of each Bodhisattva of Shaolin.

Shaolin Gongfu Shifu

Starting a Kung Fu school or Tai Chi Program is very difficult. Despite the fact that many Karate Black Belts and Yoga Teachers have taken a few months of Tai Chi classes and started selling themselves as Tai Chi Masters, being a Shifu requires a mastery of economics, psychology, and well-planned curriculums.

Buddha Zhen hopes this book will aid his own Disciples in being successful in their launching of Shaolin Chi Mantis Traditional Buddhist Gongfu schools around the world.

Zen Spirit Book      chapter 8

Goals are important and useful. However, we are always guessing at this finish line. No matter what that goal may appear to look like now, it will have changed by the time you arrive there. The student will also discover that they have changed also, and the goal may require modifying or rescripting to suit the new you, a creative and productive Buddha.
