Podcast 7
of the Zen Buddhist Podcast
hosted by Master Zhen
of the shaolinZEN.org Cybertemple.
Master Zhen Shen-Lang,
founder of the shaolinZEN.org CyberTemple
leads Sangha Buddhist Zen lessons to be aired and brodcast over the internet discussing Chinese Chan Buddhism from the Shaolin Zen CyberTemple.
Master Zhen reads from the Shaolin Zen CyberTemple website, the "SEMINARS" webpage. During his explanations of the various seminars he teaches each year, Master Zhen criticizes other martial arts styles and claims that Karate is perpetuating many mistakes that don't exist in Kung Fu and Tai Chi.
Master Zhen also explains why he is no longer a master spearmaker and swordsmith. Since the 911 tragedy, postal rates have skyrocketed to the point that the postage to send a spear in the mail is more than the cost of the spear. He apologizes to his many loyal customers who have relied on him to create custom swords, spears, and Chinese classical weapons. The online weapon weapon catalog of Shaolin Chi Mantis at shaolinCOM.com is primarily for his students, whom he can deliver his custom made weapons to at his classes and seminars.
Master Zhen discusses his various seminars with comments about this years' events and where to find the super discount prices he offers his students at shaolinCOM.com/events.html
- Push Hands Seminars
- Push Hands Tournaments
- Tai Chi Staff Seminars
- Tai Chi Qigong Seminars
- Tai Chi Tournament Seminars
- Combat Taiji Seminars
are all briefly exlained with a plea to his online audience to help him create "...interactive seminars..." that will be live with questions and comments being provided by his internet audience. Master Zhen teases the audience with a few hints of his "3D Buddhist CyberTemple" that is being developed.
The podcast ends with an 8-track demo recording by American Zen, "Kung Fu Cowboy," featuring Coyote making the "clip-clops" of horses with his tongue.
