"Zen Body"

Starting at his new Kung Fu school, www.BuddhaKungFu.com, Buddha 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 -- before humans add their greed and laziness to whatever they create.

"Can you handle the truth?" taunts Master Zhen. Join us next week and see if you are a Zen Buddhist.

BUDDHISM DHARMA FOR TODAY:

"Zen Body is Zen Mind is Zen..."

Buddha Zhen explains how all religions require you to care for your body--for various reasons. Then Buddha Zhen implores all listeners to appreciate their bodies more as these bodies are their Zen vehicles.

About Buddha Zhen
Zhen Shen-Lang "Truth Spirit-Wolf" or Spirit Wolf of Truth (The Chinese always put last name first.)
Buddha Zhen was recognized for his teaching skills while an Advanced Student of Tai Mantis Federation in early 1980s. However, Buddha Zhen, then known as Richard O'Connor, even passed up opportunities to perform with David Carradine, only considering his Shaolin Kung Fu to be a hobby. After moving to Utah in 1991, unable to find work in the record business or movie business, Kung Fu and Tai Chi became the only way for Buddha Zhen to support himself in Utah while being a Mr. Mom to two kids. Shaolin Chi Mantis was founded in 1992 and in 1996 Master Zhen created the Tai Chi Youth nonprofit 501(c)(3) charity organization for troubled youth. Buddha Zhen founded the Buddha Kung Fu school in 2008 which includes the Buddha Tai Chi, Shaolin Kids , and 12 Step 12 Week Kung Fu Bootcamp programs.
