  • Shaolin Collection - 1
    : Shaolin Collection - 1 The History of the Shaolin Temple By: Uwe Schwenk (Ying Zi Long) Shaolin Collection - 1: The History of the Shaolin Temple 1 Introduction This is the first in a series of documents, which are in my opinion considered essential for studying Shaolin Gong Fu. About this Library Most of these documents are translations of historical texts which are just now (2003) beginning to emerge. For this library, only the texts considered as core by the author to the study of Shaolin were selected. While some of the readers might question some of the texts in this collection, please bear in mind, that Shaolin has a different meaning for every person studying the art. Shaolin Collection - 1 One of the most important aspects is history. In the opinion of the author, history defines the future. Therefore, the first document contains the Shaolin History as conveyed to the author by the Da Mo Yuan, and confirmed by Grandmaster Shi Weng Heng and Grand Master Chi Chuan Tsai from Taiwan. Note: The images included are from my private collection and some are courtesy of the Shaolin Perspective website under http://www.russbo.com. Introduction: About this Library 2 The Shaolin Temple History Northern Wei Dynasty 386- 534 The construction of the temple was in honor of the Indian Deravada monk Batuo (Buddhabhadra), he was in 464 one of the first Indian monks that came to China. Buddhabhadra means 'Man with a conscience'. In China he is also known under the name 'Fotuo'. In India he traveled together with 5 others.

  • The Pensive Bodhisattva and Local Meditation Culture in Sixth-Century Hebei
    sixth-century pensive bodhisattva Asia Major (2019) 3d ser. Vol. 32.2: 57-112 li-kuei chien Icons of Contemplation: The Pensive Bodhisattva and Local Meditation Culture in Sixth-Century Hebei abstract: The image of the pensive bodhisattva was widely reproduced in East Asian Buddhist art between the fifth and the eighth centuries, but the majority of surviving examples were carved at a small number of sites in central and southern Hebei over a period spanning just four decades (ca. 540–580). During this period, Hebei artisans el- evated the pensive bodhisattva image to a new level of prominence by making it a central figure in their iconographic schemes. I argue on the basis of iconographic, epigraphic, and literary evidence that these innovative pensive bodhisattva images functioned as icons expressing patrons’ reverence for an ideal of meditative contem- plation. Considered together with hagiographic accounts, this interpretation of the Hebei pensive bodhisattva images sheds new light on the history of Buddhist medi- tation by revealing the existence of a distinctive local culture of meditation practices and associated beliefs in sixth-century Hebei. keywords: Siwei, Buddhist statue, Maitreya, Siddhƒrtha, Northern Qi dynasty etween the fifth and the eighth centuries, Buddhist patrons across B East Asia sponsored the carving of numerous images of the pen- sive bodhisattva.

  • The Hong Kong Action Hero in Shaolin Soccer and the Hollywood Kung Fu Champion in the Matrix
    1 The Hero Myth in Popular Culture: The Hong Kong Action Hero in Shaolin Soccer and the Hollywood Kung Fu Champion in The Matrix Dhruba Karki* Abstract Cinema basically blends art and economics, and the film industry presents the hero figure in a fascinating image and action. The film visualizes a brave man or woman’s physical actions in the service to mankind. The action hero in his or her physical actions with rigor and passion to serve his or her nation and community exemplifies what a man or woman should be doing irrespective of personal interests. In the Wachowski brothers –directed The Matrix (1999), Neo Anderson, featuring Keanu Reeves, uses kung fu techniques and a rigorously trained body to save humans from the invasion of machines. Similarly, Steel Leg Sing in Stephen Chow’s Shaolin Soccer (2001), projecting Chow himself as an athletic champion, leads the Shaolin brothers team to a sweeping victory. The computer-generated graphic effects of the soccer hero’s exceptional performance in Shaolin Soccer and that of Neo’s virtual kung fu actions in The Matrix replicate a simulated body through electronically created computer graphics. Mighty Steel Leg Sing’s soccer game, enhanced by his acrobatics, embodies a perfect blend of the body, mind, and spirit. During a prestigious tournament, Sing sports soccer in such a spectacular feats that blends the athletic body and the twentieth-century popular sport. Like the digitized Neo in The Matrix, the soccer hero in Shaolin Soccer exposes magnificent feats of swirling movements and swift physical actions in the soccer field.

  • L'utilisation D'un Bâton Dans La Pratique Du Yoga 1
    L’utilisation d’un bâton dans la pratique du Yoga Jacques Perrin Septembre 2005 Institut International de Yoga Fondé et dirigé par Yogi Khane 1 Introduction J’ai découvert la possibilité d’utiliser un bâton dans les exercices de Yoga avec Yvon Achard, professeur de Yoga, avec qui je pratique le Yoga depuis trente ans. C’est lors de séances en pleine nature et notamment durant les stages d’été dans le Vercors, qu’Yvon Achard nous propose de temps en temps de faire une séance de « Yoga iranien » avec utilisation d’un bâton. Nous ayant dit qu’il avait pratiqué ce type de Yoga lors de balades en ski de fond (en utilisant les bâtons de ski), j’ai eu plusieurs fois l’occasion de découvrir par moi-même l’intérêt respiratoire et énergétique de ce type de séance sur la neige et en pleine nature. Faisant ma formation d’enseignant de Yoga avec Babacar Khane, j’ai expérimenté les bienfaits des exercices du travail de la colonne vertébrale en position debout et avec des positionnements des bras très variés, qui font succéder les flexions avant, les extensions en arrière, les flexions latérales, les torsions ( en dynamique, statique et contraction-décontraction ). J’ai ainsi découvert que certains de ces exercices de travail de la colonne vertébrale et plus précisément certains positionnements des bras pouvaient être pris avec un bâton. C’est en reprenant les apports de Yvon Achard et de Babacar Khane que j’ai peu à peu développé des séances de Yoga avec bâton que j’ai insérées dans ma propre pratique de Yoga.

  • Bei Shaolin Si (Northern Shaolin Monastery)
    BEI SHAOL IN SI (NORTHERN SHAOLIN M ONASTERY) “The martial arts under heaven arose out of Shaolin” - a popular Chinese aphorism. Chinese Martial Arts, or Wushu, as it is known in the Chinese language, is more than just a fighting art - it is a way of life. “One 'is' or one 'becomes' Gong Fu; it is not something one 'does'” - Long Ching Gang. Chinese Wushu encompasses a philosophy in the art of living, much of which is based upon the ancient philosophies of Buddhism, Daoism, and Confucianism. H I S T O R Y Buddhism travelled to China from India during the Eastern Han Ming emperor period (58-76 A.D.). Several hundred years after this, as several emperors became sincere Buddhists, Buddhism became very respected and popular in China. Shaolin Wushu originated at the Song Shan Shaolin Temple, located in Denfeng County of Henan Province, China during the Northern Wei Dynasty (495 AD). According to one of the oldest books Deng Feng County Recording (Deng Feng Xian Zhi), a Buddhist monk name Batuo, came to China for Buddhist preaching in 464 A.D. Deng Feng was the county where the Shaolin Temple was eventually located. Thirty-one years later, the Shaolin Temple was built in 495 A.D., by the order of Wei Xiao Wen emperor (471-500A.D.), during the 19th year of his reign, for Batuo's preaching. Therefore, Batuo can be considered the first chief monk of the Shaolin Temple; this occurred 30 years before the arrival of Da Mo. However, there is no record regarding how and what Batuo passed down by way of religious Qigong practice.
