Eating the Shaolin Temple Diet

"It is a common misconception among many people that eating meat is necessary for providing the energy needed in vigorous kungfu. In fact the reverse is more probably true. Traditional Shaolin monks were strict vegetarians, and there was no doubt that they were tremendously powerful. Why? Where did they get their tremendous energy? About 80% was from “heaven chi”, i.e. from the cosmos, and 20% from “grain chi”, i.e. their vegetarian diet.

A meat eater might get more energy from his “grain chi”, but as toxic waste from meat is more than that from vegetables, and as toxic waste clogs meridians along which “heaven chi” flows, his net energy gain will be less than that of a vegetarian, if both practise genuine kungfu, which includes chi kung, i.e. the art of energy management."

"I began to realize how important it was to be an enthusiast in life. He taught me that if you are interested in something, no matter what it is, go at it at full speed ahead. Embrace it with both arms, hug it, love it and above all become passionate about it. Lukewarm is no good. Hot is no good either. White hot and passionate is the only thing to be." -Roald Dahl

my friend M sent this video, it made me smile and cry awwwh my homeland Philippines!

If this video doesn't make you want to visit the Philippines, then I quit. 

"Almost every video I saw about the Philippines was about the islands. That's too shallow and easy. So I wanted to visit this country to make the best video on this country, and I think this is it.You won't see pretty girls on beaches in this video. You will see the real Philippines that I so fell in love with.
To show you how generous people are, I lived on $0.00 for a day.
To show you how cheap the place can be, we threw a party for an entire village.
To shed more light on poverty, we bought a 1,000 burgers to feed people.
This is my best video to date made in my favorite country to date. I hope you enjoy watching like I enjoyed making.

dvsn - Do It Well

Way of Tea: celebrating the art of craft focusing on "now"

It's often translated as "tea ceremony", but Chado, Chanoyu or the "Way of Tea", is neither a ceremony nor a ritual, but more a celebration of arts (craft, culinary, etc) and philosophy (particular Zen Buddhism).

It originated in China in the 8th century, spread to Japan in the 9th and became an art sometime around the 12th century, but it wasn't until this past century that the way of tea has become accessible (in Japan it can be studied like home ec or in a college club).

The lure may be partly in the brew- tea has always been used for health-, but Christy Bartlett of the San Francisco Urasenke Foundation explains that following the form (she compares it to the practice of music) helps one to find intense focus in the moment.

How To Master Shaolin Monk - World Documentary Films

Shaolin Kung Fu (Chinese: 少林功夫; pinyin: shao lin gong fu) also called Shaolin Wushu (少林武术; shao lin wu shu) is among the oldest institutionalized style of Chinese martial arts. Shaolin kung fu originated and was developed in the Buddhist Shaolin temple in Henan province, China. During the 1500 years of its development, Shaolin kung fu, with its rich content, became one of the largest schools of kung fu. The name Shaolin is also used as a brand for the so-called external styles of kung fu. Many styles in southern and northern China use the name Shaolin. -Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaolin_...

Amongst White Clouds

"American director Edward A. Burger takes us on his unforgettable journey into the hidden lives of China's forgotten Zen Buddhist hermit tradition.
Amongst White Clouds is a look at the lives of zealot students, gaunt ascetics and wise masters living in isolated hermitages dotting the peaks and valleys of China's Zhongnan Mountain range. The Zhongnan Mountains have been home to recluses since the time of the Yellow Emperor, some five thousand years ago.
Many of China's most realized Buddhist masters attained enlightenment in this very range! And now? It is widely thought that this tradition was all but wiped out by the twists and turns of history. Amongst White Clouds shows us this is not the case.
One of only a few foreigners to have lived and studied with these hidden sages, Burger reveals to us their tradition, their wisdom, and the hardship and joy of their everyday lives.
With both humor and compassion, these inspiring and warm-hearted characters challenge us to join them in an exploration of our own suffering and enlightenment in this modern world." - (Excerpt from amongstclouds.com)

#awesomeFIND Forest Bathing

Shinrin-yoku is a term that means "taking in the forest atmosphere" or "forest bathing." It was developed in Japan during the 1980s and has become a cornerstone of preventive health care and healing in Japanese medicine. Researchers primarily in Japan and South Korea have established a robust body of scientific literature on the health benefits of spending time under the canopy of a living forest. Now their research is helping to establish shinrin-yoku and forest therapy throughout the world.
The idea is simple: if a person simply visits a natural area and walks in a relaxed way there are calming, rejuvenating and restorative benefits to be achieved....  more at http://www.shinrin-yoku.org/

Go to a Forest. Walk slowly. Breathe. Open all your senses.

This is the healing way of Shinrin-yoku Forest Therapy, 

the medicine of simply being in the forest.

Opening our senses to nature also develops our intuition. We learn to contact in new ways the world around us.

"You didn't come into this world.

You came out of it, like a wave from the ocean.

You are not a stranger here." 

Alan Watts

Shinrin Yoku is Japanese for "Forest Bathing" - A gentle path to wellness accessible to almost everybody. 

Brief introduction to the science of Forest Therapy: a curated collection of journalism and research.

Gentle, guided walks that support well-being through sensory immersion 

in forests and other naturally healing environments.
