007-Zen Podcast of Buddha Zhen: Shaolin is Being Zen
<p>Buddha Zhen slams the current Shaolin Temple and the monks he knows that graduated from there. He says that of the three that he knows how started actual schools in Los Angeles, none of them teach Zen Buddhism.</p> <p>Buddha Zhen says the American view of Shaolin Kung Fu is like children who love McDonalds for dinner. “They just don’t know better. Americans don’t know what Shaolin Kung Fu is. They see all these Shaolin fighters beating people up and fighting in tournaments… but that is not what Zen Buddhism is. And Shaolin Kung Fu is part of Zen Buddhism.”</p> <p>He also says people think Bruce Lee is a Kung Fu master, but Bruce Lee never graduated the intermediate level of any Kung Fu or Wing Chun school. “He never even learned sword or spear. That’s why he used nunchucks, a Japanese farming tool. He never learned Kung Fu.”</p> <p>Buddha Zhen explains that Zen is “… a universal perspective.” He uses the example of looking at a tree. If four people look at a tree from for different sides, they will each see a very different tree. Buddha Zhen explains that Zen awareness is seeing the tree from the front, the back and both sides, even standing under it and looking up at it. “Good luck seeing it from above.”</p> <p>Buddha Zhen also explains how Japanese Zen Buddhism is not Zen Buddhism. “Instead of doing Kung Fu, they do nothing.”</p> <p>For enlightenment Buddha Zhen recommends that people create a business plan for every goal and have a role model for every goal. He elaborates on how role models can help people attain success.</p> <p>Buddha Zhen’s BOOK AD for the Tai Chi Beginner book is:<br> “Learn to understand what Zen REALLY is.”</p> <p>Buddha Zhen talks about using the Tai Chi Beginner book to improve people’s lives since 1992.</p> <p>His Shaolin Chi Mantis SCHOOL AD is:<br> “Be Shaolin. Zen is Shaolin. Shaolin is Zen.”</p> <p>Then he laughs and says, “But you don’t know what Zen is. And you don’t know what Shaolin is…”<br> (You’re either both or neither).</p> <p>The Buddha Zhen talks a little about the Tai Chi Magic 1 album by Buddha Zhen and how it is available from Shaolin Records or the website he built for it: <br> <a href="http://www.taichimagic.com/">www.TaiChiMagic.com</a></p> <p>The song "Inner Will" is from the <a href="https://www.taichimagic.com/">Tai Chi Magic 1</a> album by Buddha Zhen, available at iTunes, Amazon.com...<br> <a href="https://zenbuddhistpodcast.com/product-category/music/">https://zenbuddhistpodcast.com/product-category/music/</a></p> <p>Buddha Zhen Official Website:<br> <a href="https://www.buddhazhen.com/">https://www.BuddhaZhen.com</a></p> <p>Buddha Zhen FACEBOOK page:<br> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/spiritwolfoftruth">https://www.Facebook.com/spiritwolfoftruth</a></p> <p>Produced by Richard Del Connor for Shaolin Records.<br> <a href="https://www.shaolinrecords.com/">https://www.ShaolinRecords.com</a></p> <p>Copyright 1984-2021 Shaolin Communications<br> <a href="https://www.shaolincommunications.com/">https://www.ShaolinCommunications.com</a><br> <a href="https://www.shaolincom.com/">https://www.ShaolinCOM.com</a></p> <p>Music used by permission of Shaolin Records and licensed by Shaolin Music.

This is the most difficult martial art in the world."</p>

006-Zen Podcast of Buddha Zhen: What is Evil?
<p>Buddha Zhen has been teaching <a href="https://www.ShaolinZen.org">Shaolin Zen Buddhism</a> since 1984. This became a business in 1992 when he was hired by the Governor of Utah to teach in a maximum security prison. During this time he wrote the book, <a href="https://www.buddhakungfu.com/books/index.html"><strong>Tai Chi Beginner</strong></a><strong>,</strong> which he uses as the first semester book in all three of his Kung Fu schools:</p> <ol> <li><a href="https://www.ShaolinChiMantis.com">Shaolin Chi Mantis Traditional Buddhist Kung Fu & Taoist Tai Chi Chuan</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.BuddhaKungFu.com">Buddha Kung Fu</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.TaiChiYouth.org">Tai Chi Youth</a> nonprofit</li> </ol> <p><strong>Tai Chi Beginner</strong> is a 16-chapter book used to teach the 16-sections of the Yang Tai Chi Chuan Short Form of Shaolin Chi Mantis. Buddha Zhen tried teaching a couple years in a YMCA without using this book and realized that students learned several times faster and better when he was given permission to make it a book to be read in every YMCA class. Without students reading this <strong>Tai Chi Beginner</strong> book students did not progress in either Shaolin Kung Fu or Tai Chi Chuan even half as much. The class readings of this book made noticeable improvements in the youth classes also, just as the students in his prison programs improved more than any other prison rehabilitation program.</p> <p><a href="https://www.BuddhaZhen.com">Buddha Zhen</a> was teaching as an unpaid volunteer for months in that first maximum security prison. After the students began improving faster than any other inmates in their class grades and aptitude tests, the staff of the prison petitioned the governor to start paying Buddha Zhen. Over the next seven years we were given updates on those inmate students who never returned except a couple which = 20% recidivism instead of 80% returning inmates who did not take the Tai Chi Chuan Beginner Program course of Shaolin Chi Mantis.</p> <p>The song <strong>"Inner Will"</strong> is from the <a href="https://www.TaiChiMagic.com"><strong>Tai Chi Magic 1</strong></a> album by Buddha Zhen, available at iTunes, Amazon.com...<br> <a href="https://zenbuddhistpodcast.com/product-category/music/">https://zenbuddhistpodcast.com/product-category/music/</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>Buddha Zhen Official Website:<br> <a href="https://www.buddhazhen.com/">https://www.BuddhaZhen.com</a></p> <p>Buddha Zhen FACEBOOK page:<br> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/spiritwolfoftruth">https://www.Facebook.com/spiritwolfoftruth</a></p> <p>Produced by Richard Del Connor for Shaolin Records.<br> <a href="https://www.shaolinrecords.com/">https://www.ShaolinRecords.com</a></p> <p>Copyright 1984-2021 Shaolin Communications<br> <a href="https://www.shaolincommunications.com/">https://www.ShaolinCommunications.com</a><br> <a href="https://www.shaolincom.com/">https://www.ShaolinCOM.com</a></p> <p>Music used by permission of Shaolin Records and licensed by Shaolin Music.
