4. -- ZEN BUDDHIST PODCAST of SHAOLIN ZEN --
Hosted by Buddha Zhen
www.zenbuddhistpodcast.com
Podcast 8
of the Zen Buddhist Podcast
hosted by Master Zhen
of the shaolinZEN.org Cybertemple.
Master Zhen Shen-Lang,
founder of the shaolinZEN.org CyberTemple
leads Buddhist Zen lessons to be aired and brodcast over the internet discussing Chinese Chan Buddhism from the Shaolin Zen CyberTemple Sangha.
"Thanksgiving Podcast of ShaolinZen.org"
Master Zhen reads from the Shaolin Zen CyberTemple website, the "DONATIONS" webpage.
Master Zhen explains how Buddhism has always been a religion of donations and how Zen Buddhism was created by Bodhidharma after meeting the Chinese Emperor. His stories include the formation of Shaolin Zen, the creation of the nonprofit education organization, Tai Chi Youth, his grandmaster, Chiu Chuk Kai, who was the bodyguard of the Vietnamese President during the sixties and seventies, how his son was hunted by a Puma, his Shaolin monk spade, being bitten by a black widow spider and how he lost 55 pounds by attending his own Tai Chi classes at the YMCA.
Japanese Zen Buddhists will hopefully, not be offended by Master Zhen pointing out that "without exercise, Zen Buddhism has no Zen."
Master Zhen refers to himself as, "romantically foolish," then details how he has dedicated his life to helping others at the expense of losing his wife and children. "Whatever your life is, you realize there are ways you can think and things you can do to make your life better and to enjoy your life better."
Tai Chi Kids programs are currently supported entirely by Master Zhen, but he wants to expand into multimedia with his students producing videos and music.
Master Zhen tells how after being bitten by a black widow spider he gained 55 pounds which he reduced by adding Tai Chi classes at the YMCA and how his kids have not benefited by his wife removing them from the programs when she divorced him. More examples include how he enjoys helping people for free but his collections of jade and Chinese instruments are in storage, previously supported by the NEA National Endowment for the Arts. Master Zhen's elementary school programs are remembered with a visit to www.BuddhaKungFu.com
Master Zhen gives special thanks to the Utah Chinese associations who supported and donated to him in the 1990s. "I just enjoy what I'm doing and realize I'm helping people. Whether I'm getting paid for it or not -- I still enjoy it, I especially enjoy the feeling I get from changing and improving people's lives..."
"I want to provide a traditional atmosphere..." begs Master Zhen who desires a school location to teach more students and keep youths out of trouble. He includes the story of one of his prison inmate students who credits Master Zhen with changing his life into a productive husband. Senior programs may also prolong and improve lives by reducing falling injuries, he explains. "By improving the balance and leg strength...less injuries, less bone breaks..."
Podcast Host: Master Zhen "Spirit Wolf of Truth"
Dharma Online: Shaolin Zen CyberTemple
BUDDHISM DHARMA FOR TODAY:
"My romantically foolish lifestyle of helping people."
Master Zhen laughs as he explains the many reasons, despite all his family hardships and not having a car the past 10 years, that he couldn't stop his teaching lifestyle without guilt and regrets.
