Podcast 11
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 Buddhist Zen lessons to be aired and brodcast over the internet discussing Chinese Chan Buddhism from the Shaolin Zen CyberTemple Sangha.
"Zen Body"
Starting at his new Kung Fu school, www.BuddhaKungFu.com, Master Zhen bounces back to the shaolinZEN.org CyberTemple from a link on the Buddha Kung Fu homepage, "Zen Body."
Zen Buddhism was created by Bodhidharma from India. When Bodhidharma retired at the Shaolin Temple, he passed on his Indian Kung Fu, Kalaripayattu, to his Disciple, Hui Ke. This Kung Fu Buddhism was known as "Chan Buddhism" in China. When the Japanese monks came to the Shaolin Temple, they renamed it "Zen Buddhism" after returning to Japan. Although some Japanese temples tried to maintain the martial arts with their Buddhism, eventually this was stripped away in laziness, just as the Chinese practice Chan Buddhism without exercising also.
The origins of each religion appear to be the best version of each religion as humans add their greed and laziness to every religion they create.
"Can you handle the truth?" taunts Master Zhen." Join us next week and see if you are a Zen Buddhist.
