DECEMBER 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

Fortunately, or unfortunately, I don't believe in omens.

Sometimes if several circumstances line up together, I like to think, "I'm lucky," but mostly I'm willing to believe in statistics.

Of course, not all statistics are within the bounds or close to the other statistics...

Especially when you are not an average person...you don't have average statistics...

There it is, my belief in everything and nothing at the same time.

Merry Christmas.

Just do your best.

Here's a Zen of Zhen: Zen of Zhen #12

Zen #12

Whether you say, "Yes," or "No," does not matter
since the truth still exists whether you were 'right' or 'wrong.'

All things exist, whether they are said to exist or not.

About Buddha Zhen:
Named Shen-Lang Zhen in 1993 by the Chen family from Mt. Wudang (Wutang), but referred to by Chinese persons as, "Zhen Shen-Lang," his name translates to, "Spirit Wolf of Truth,". Buddha Zhen has been teaching Shaolin Kung Fu and Yang Style Tai Chi since 1992. An ardent disciple of Shaolin Kung Fu from 1980 to 1991, Buddha Zhen was not intending to be a Shaolin Zen Buddhist Kung Fu teacher, but became a "Buddhist Scientist." School brothers and Shifu would attend Shaolin Kung Fu classes at Buddha Zhen's North Hollywood condo from 1986 to 1991. These Kung Fu and Tai Chi classes were offered to the interns of Shaolin Records for free, on a daily basis. Although Buddha Zhen, then known as Sifu Richard O'Connor, sometimes passed out basic literature about Shaolin Kung Fu to these students, he did not plan to write books about Kung Fu. Buddha Zhen was pursuing physics, Zen Buddhism, and launching Shaolin Film & Records. He was planning to have a Kung Fu studio, staffed with Shaolin Shifu, available all days and nights at his Record Company/Movie Company studios he planned to build in the 1990s.
