APRIL Email Newsletter
from the Patriarch of Shaolin Zen
to all Students, Disciples, Friends, and Donors of Shaolin Chi Mantis, Shaolin Zen and Tai Chi Youth
Launched in January 2008, Buddha Kung Fu operates on the same 4-month semester system as Shaolin Chi Mantis and Tai Chi Youth schools.
So January, February, March, and April comprise the first semester of Buddha Kung Fu's existence and the first semester of classes.
Thank you to all the Buddha Kung Fu and Tai Chi Youth students of the YMCA classes and CV Park classes. You have been very helpful in launching this new Kung Fu school.
Special thanks to Disciple Paul Dunham, Erin Garrovillas, and Barry Neilan, for their extra work helping me to edit the Buddha Kung Fu Student Manual.

4. -- ZEN BUDDHIST PODCAST of SHAOLIN ZEN --
Hosted by Buddha Zhen
www.zenbuddhistpodcast.com
Podcast 11
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.
"Zen Body"
Starting at his new Kung Fu school, www.BuddhaKungFu.com, Master Zhen bounces back to the shaolinZEN.org CyberTemple from a link on the Buddha Kung Fu homepage, "Zen Body."
Zen Buddhism was created by Bodhidharma from India. When Bodhidharma retired at the Shaolin Temple, he passed on his Indian Kung Fu, Kalaripayattu, to his Disciple, Hui Ke. This Kung Fu Buddhism was known as "Chan Buddhism" in China. When the Japanese monks came to the Shaolin Temple, they renamed it "Zen Buddhism" after returning to Japan. Although some Japanese temples tried to maintain the martial arts with their Buddhism, eventually this was stripped away in laziness, just as the Chinese practice Chan Buddhism without exercising also.
The origins of each religion appear to be the best version of each religion as humans add their greed and laziness to every religion they create.
"Can you handle the truth?" taunts Master Zhen. Join us next week and see if you are a Zen Buddhist.
Podcast Host: Master Zhen "Spirit Wolf of Truth"
Dharma Online: Shaolin Zen CyberTemple
BUDDHISM DHARMA FOR TODAY:
"Zen Body is Zen Mind is Zen..."
Master Zhen explains how all religions require you to care for your body--for various reasons. Then Master Zhen implores all listeners to appreciate their bodies more as these bodies are their Zen vehicles.
