4. -- ZEN BUDDHIST PODCAST of SHAOLIN ZEN --
Hosted by Buddha Zhen
www.zenbuddhistpodcast.com
Podcast 20
of the Zen Buddhist Podcast
hosted by Buddha Zhen
of the shaolinZEN.org Cybertemple.
Buddha Zhen Shen-Lang,
founder of the shaolinZEN.org CyberTemple
leads Zen Buddhist lessons to be aired and
broadcast over the internet discussing
Chinese Chan Buddhism from the
Shaolin Zen Cyber Temple Sangha.
Buddhism Basics: "Page 1"
Podcast Host: Buddha Zhen "Spirit Wolf of Truth"
Dharma Online: shaolinZEN.org Buddhism Basics
BUDDHISM DHARMA FOR TODAY:
"The more you know, the more you GLOW."
FEATURED DHARMA:
"The Original Buddha"
Author: Buddha Zhen Shen-Lang

Buddha Zhen and the Methodist Pastor have a long lunch discussing marriage. BZ states he will share much of this information if enough people request it at Buddha1@Buddha...
"Page 1" of the Buddhism Basics lists different translations and viewpoints of the word, "buddha." Shakyamuni Buddha means, "First Enlightened One of the Shakya Clan."
Starting with the birth of Siddhartha Gautarma, Buddha Zhen begins our adventure in the Shaolin Zen Buddhism Basics.
"In order to see that tree, we need to be in as many positions as we can, which means that we have to appreciate, or at least understand the way other people think, and see things, in order really see all the perspectives of that tree."
Buddha Zhen explains what "Buddha Nature" means and how you need it to be a Buddhist.
"Buddhism teaches that more important than knowing the right answer, is the desire and path to obtaining right answers. Buddhism teaches each of us to become a Buddha within our own lifetime."
Buddha Zhen explains how his Kung Fu school, Buddha Kung Fu, is designed to create Buddhas. "Buddhism is a spiritual university where each student picks their courses, tests their self, and decide what grade they deserve."

NEW RELEASES
77 Zens of Zhen are being rereleased on their upgraded webpages using CSS.
Here's a Zen of Zhen: Zen of Zhen #16
Zen #16
A Japanese
Zen Master, Kyogen, stated that,
"Zen is a man hanging from a tree branch over a cliff.
He can't use his arms to hold a branch or legs to stand on anything
and hangs on to a tree branch with his teeth.
Someone below asks the dangling man,
"Why did Bodhidharma come to China from India?""
So, if the
dangling man answers, he falls and dies.
If he does not answer he loses his standing as a Zen Master?
Well, I don't
agree with many of the Japanese Zen Masters
and I don't agree with the concept of dares and challenges
to produce winners and losers.
Zen is not
winning or losing.
Zen is being
you where you are.

"Tai Chi Magic" Song Written for Practicing Tai Chi
The first song of the album, Tai Chi Magic 1, was composed by Buddha Zhen for performing the Yang Style Tai Chi Short Form in public and tournaments.
It has been very useful to keep students synchronized together during stage performances.
A graceful song.
