Crystallization of the Past Masters -- Part 4
EXPERIENCING THE WONDERFUL BENEFITS OF SHAOLIN TRAINING
Joy is a salient feature in our raining, which is evident from the frequent laughter heard in our class.
While we are very pleased that we can apply kungfu patterns for sparring, we are more pleased that we are able to spar for a few hours without feeling fatigued or panting for breath. Translated into daily living, it means we have mental clarity and abundant energy to enjoy our work and play.
But we are most happy that our kungfu training is a process of spiritual cultivation. At the basic level, we are relaxed and peaceful, even when sparring. We help our sparring partners and enjoy our practice. At higher levels, we have a glimpse of Cosmic Reality. In this course, as shown in some of the video clips here, participants had a touch of Zen.
This series is presented in four parts. This is the second part, and is divided into the following sections which follow the order the course was taught.
Besides being a review for the course participants, this course provides excellent reference material for those who wish to prepare themselves for more advanced Shaolin Kungfu courses at the UK Summer Camp in July 2008 and the Intensive Taijiquan Course in September 2008.
