you are going to learn that your body is important just as your mind is important [Music] and based on this very basic idea now it starts now somebody maybe ask okay now yes I
00:18
want to develop the mind how should I do it and then in the Shaolin Temple traditionally we are teaching Buddhist teachings confusionist teachings and Taoist teachings so three let's say teachings
00:33
aiming in the development of the mind so you are reading series you are reading essays you are reading different texts
00:48
maybe some of them describing the life of one of these persons meaning Buddha or maybe louder or maybe Confucius bye putting yourself into the skin of those
01:05
personalities maybe maybe or maybe not get a glimpse of ah okay so this is how they were living this is the virtues that they inhabited in themselves why they are behaving in
01:22
this this and that way these were some type of Virtues that they were abiding to that they kept as a guideline in their daily life that is like where the Siri part in a way tries to already
01:39
offer you something offer you something because at the end of the day it's still up to you to decide whether you take what you have observed there as something that you think is useful for you or if you just say I cannot relate to it
01:56
I don't know what they mean what it means so it's not relevant for me this is like in terms of theoretical aspects [Music] and then at the same time we have the physical practice which means it is the
02:13
Kung Fu training it is the Tai Chi training and it's the Qigong training and practical means because by doing some type of practice get answers sometimes it's answers you
02:29
didn't ask but nevertheless the important part is that through the practice there is some type of information and some type of knowledge being transmitted to you along the way of practice
02:45
that will never ever come in this lifetime if you would only read books the knowledge from the practical
03:01
the knowledge from the theoretical this afterwards you take [Music] what it means is you have field of knowledge you have an area that now at any time wherever you are going
03:18
in this lifetime you are able to access it and when when are these times to access it it is times when you are being placed in a situation where you need to take a decision for example
03:34
no matter from which country you're coming from no matter from which culture somebody is coming from this whole life is based on the decisions you are taking some people take that type of decision
03:50
which leads to a consequence other people maybe take better decisions which leads to another consequence ultimately it's about the decisions but how comes sometimes
04:06
people are confronted with the same situation but they take completely different approaches they take completely different um decisions it is because one of them has more or
04:22
the other one has less access to knowledge to experience than the other one so what all of these theoretical learning practical learning what all of this is supposed to offer to you
04:41
just a whole bandwidth of solutions which we think is very good to have walking through this lifetime not only as a martial artist it doesn't matter
04:58
from where you come from the more possibilities you can access the better the better for you today's video is sponsored by Mulligan brothers.com where you can now get the all-new momentumori poster that is
05:13
behind me with 10 off using Code stoic at checkout and please join the waiting list for the new Journal it is dropping very soon but before that here are my personal favorite rules from Master shahangi From The Shaolin Temple Europe let's dive into the video
05:30
[Music] sometimes in order for you to develop something some type of experience some type of situations
05:46
are necessary so that means this idea of sometimes it needs something really really emotional triggers you inside then a change comes
06:02
sometimes it's exactly what makes you cry exactly what makes you confront yourself and what is super uncomfortable exactly these moments sometimes are the ones you should be thankful for because
06:20
they carry the potential to unlock something very very fundamental inside of you let's say like this yeah
06:37
it is impossible for a human being to walk through this lifetime without making things that the first time they do it directly go right what I mean is
06:53
everybody will do something which will go wrong no matter in which type of field but after it went wrong the first time the question is how are you going to continue
07:09
[Music] if you are starting to be wise intelligent you are observing the situation why did you make it wrong what was the mistake
07:25
what went wrong in it if you are confronted the second time with the same situation and you make it wrong again so apparently you didn't learn something and in the way how Confucius expresses
07:41
this is making something wrong the first time is not a mistake it is your chance to correct it but making the same situation over and over wrong again and wrong again because
07:57
you're of the unwillingness to learn something from it that is the mistake that something goes wrong the first time this is not the mistake if you don't learn from it
08:13
if you don't observe the situation take the knowledge out in order to make a better outcome for the future if this is not your trial if this is not what you're aiming for then it's a mistake
08:30
so in a way it is the same that nowadays we are already expressing with the term of that's why you need challenges you will fail definitely a few times the question is what will you take out all of these failures
08:48
and in the way of people for example yes it can happen that you made in the past took some decisions took some actions that have shaped your your present life right now and
09:06
also will have an impact on the future but we cannot undo the past therefore the question is what will you take out of this lesson that you have
09:22
you did one thing wrong in the past now it's follow me following you your whole life long first conclusion is I need to better take care about what I am involving in
09:40
message number one now some things you cannot undo yet there is still the possibility to to rebalance things [Music]
09:55
and there are different ways how you can approach it for example by doing a lot of charity work you did wrong to many people in the past now do something good for many people
10:11
where you are excluded let's say charity work invest some of your time take care of people that they can benefit from your work energy let's say
10:29
these are very practical ways is that in our tradition we also sometimes make use of charity work donating this is where all of this comes from
10:44
because it takes or it it takes something it takes something from you in order to live this way of life everybody talks about letting go of the
10:59
self letting go of the illusion of the ego yeah how for example like this do something that is not for the benefit of yourself invest your lifetime a few hours a few days every week every
11:17
month and do something where other people are benefiting from your work this is what I think is a practical way how that may be guilt that some people still feel nowadays
11:34
can be reduced before you were taking now it's time to give when things are rebalanced then you can continue on another pass again but before anyone continues
11:52
you need to rebalance you want to know what is spiritual you don't approach spirituality
12:08
you want to know what is spiritual figure out what is the physical then you will get to there you want to know what is like left don't approach left figure out what is
12:25
right yeah and in such way this is also like something counter-intuitive but some but that is one of the methods
12:43
this is why you want freedom we want freedom yes but how do we live structured rules walls all of this that doesn't look like this would be free yes you want freedom
13:00
face the structure face the heart discipline because if inside this hot structured form you are able to have the freedom you feel free inside this hard form that is
13:16
the freedom but to always directly approach what you want is the wrong way why because it is one-sided
13:33
because it is only one-sided you want success you directly try to to approach success yeah but it's impossible to have this success if you do not know what that failure is before so now the
13:49
question is how do you make this pose how can you have this white view of incorporating everything that is involved in it you need to find a way how to always embrace
14:06
everything that is involved into it and that's why we say relaxation and tension they both Belong Together that's why there's no way I need to I need to know both of them this is not about if you want or not you
14:22
need both of them of course we want to have Spiritual Development but how do we get there by figuring out what is the moment really accessible to me my body because there this is nothing about
14:38
imagining this is nothing but fantasizing your your body is something that is available to you 24 hours every day so therefore because it is so close to me
14:54
I can learn from it so we go from the physical to the spiritual [Music] and yes this is where I would say the
15:13
it's one part of what is existing in this type of teachings here what I know is
15:31
when people receive some type of knowledge that knowledge can be very very powerful
15:50
there is knowledge out there that just gives you the ability suddenly to see for yourself what you are capable of [Music] now the question for me is [Music]
16:06
if I would like to run any type of system if I would like to establish some type of structure I don't want that everybody inside the structure does what he sings he wants to
16:22
do it just would not work so now the problem is in the moment where you are receiving some type of knowledge and you for yourself can understand your potential I think it's not wanted
16:43
So based on that it was unwanted after some time that the real knowledge that the real methods are being shared
17:00
to too many people not just in China but worldwide I think it's still nowadays like this there is some type of knowledge people don't want that it's getting out there why because after you have this type of
17:16
knowledge after you practice and develop yourself you cannot be controlled anymore you cannot be influenced so easy anymore why because you see for yourself what you can do and what you can't do you don't need to listen for anybody to tell
17:32
you what you are able of and what you are not capable of this is what it means to bring out the potential of someone which potential the potential to express yourself if you don't realize that potential
17:49
inside of yourself what you can and what you can't other people will tell you other people will put you in that category where they think you would be useful for yeah but this is not what I think is the
18:05
intention and the purpose of you living this life I think for all of us living this life means you have the right in a way to self-express yourself as long as you don't harm other people along this way
18:22
so this complete knowledge and at the same time the methods that were strengthening hardening and making your body become a weapon this combination is deadly for any
18:39
system you're a good fighter and you're intelligent and wise you know what you are mentally and physically capable of and your body is at the same time strong it's the worst combination
18:55
nobody can tell you something so and this is why it's a big jump right now but there is the time where the Practical or where the practice of the martial arts was
19:12
forbidden and now based on that I don't want to go too deep into it because sometimes these are legends sometimes they are fairy tales I don't know but some movements of the traditional
19:28
martial arts styles for example sometimes you see that it looks like a farmer's job because it is said that this type of fighting techniques were hidden inside the farmer's job because they couldn't
19:44
publicly practice their Kung Fu they needed to hide their training in let's say daily activities where nobody could witness this I cannot tell you if it's a legend or not it's out of question that there are
20:00
practices still existing nowadays that definitely have some similarities and yes but the main idea is that there was a time where all of this practical approach
20:17
was forbidden and the yes and that was at the same time also the point where I think it happened that the majority of knowledge that once
20:35
was hidden inside those walls started to spread into the world and this is why you don't find it anymore where you think it is it may be slowly is coming back again
20:52
but it's still out there right now and like I initially also said what is another mission of this monastery it's the same like it is a thousand five hundred years ago collecting knowledge this time it just
21:09
means we have to recollect it because it's lost and number two educating the youth but educating the youth now it's our novices the master students and the disciples and everybody who in a way is now in
21:26
contact with this Temple with what goal give the power back give the power back that people have [Music]
21:41
is that humans have the same issues in every country regardless of nation and culture there are some things that are just connected to Being Human
21:59
at the same time I realize that some Nations some cultures are very much embedded also in the way of how they were brought up meaning with a very specific type of
22:14
looking at the world another part of the of of this world has other ways of looking at the same problem everybody is looking for the solution of their issues
22:33
and sometimes there is not only one answer sometimes the answer from them is correct and the answer from them is correct because sometimes the answer and the solution is based on
22:50
the person itself I make it maybe a little bit more clear in Buddhism exists for example this idea of reincarnation in other Traditions you don't have
23:05
reincarnation either you have Paradise or you have hell so now somebody might be asking so who who who is talking the truth now the Christians or the Buddhists so what what of them either reincarnation or
23:23
hell and heaven what if both of that would be possible what if the person who has whole life long believed and grew up in this belief system There Will Be Heaven and Hell
23:40
okay you go to heaven and hell and if somebody died with it with the less thought of reading the Incarnation as possible why he can't get to that state of being reincarnated
23:56
who says there can only be one of those two things because potential for me means if a human can sink it it's there
24:11
and if somebody creates something in the mind Between Heaven and Hell it's there if somebody creates in his mind to reincarnation it's already existing in the mind as well and so from this example I can just see
24:29
that what nowadays is happening is that a lot of Eastern insights Eastern methods for example on the one side being more and more exposed in the western world
24:44
and then it seems like the Western World now is trying to counter with some insights that the Western signs and the Western culture maybe has developed and I just think both of them
25:02
are right it would be good to see the connection between [Music] the connection how both of these insights can be brought together because
25:18
it just gives you the bigger View and eventually we're talking about the same stuff they're not against each other
25:34
so and in that sense um very very glad and very thankful if there are people that are maybe famous out there if they also sometimes share the methods even so they are coming maybe from
25:49
another area it only tells me okay maybe he got it maybe he understood that it's the same it's just a nut I just speak another language with the way of how I speak I can reach
26:05
a certain group of people with the way of how another person explains it for example Joe Rogan the way how he talks he reaches another group of people but what is it that is reaching them
26:20
a message and this is the important part I don't care how the method is reaching them I want the message to get out
26:36
[Music] in the recent times for example when I looked at different interviews there's one word which like starts to maybe it seems like it but it pops up more often
26:52
which is the warrior yeah it pops up a little bit you know quite often and of course you can be a mental Warrior meaning you're always strict you're always strong in the mind to keep going yes of course this is
27:08
something that you need but at the same time taking it a little bit more literal a little bit more muscle it also means a warrior that you at the same time have the physical abilities
27:23
to to interfere a warrior is sent a warrior has or feels the obligation if something is out of balance out there
27:38
I'm gonna fix it or you try and if you try and you fail you try harder next time but you don't give up on that statement that you're giving to yourself so and in that sense and especially that
27:54
the Shaolin Warriors are embedded in the field of martial arts full pictures you need to have a capable body but if I would express it like this too often
28:10
maybe there will be a group of people that say yeah but I can't anymore because of this this and this issue so how can I still participate in the Shaolin teachings you can of course that's why I'm telling this the whole
28:26
time that it's not about this martial aspect but if you want to have a glimpse into how in the past Shaolin Warriors were living why they were caught like this it's
28:42
possible to find it out and that means you are using methods to bring something out of the body that the average person does not have
28:59
it's not it's not only that you're physically able it is something very strange it is something that inside of you you access something different
29:14
than you there is a famous saying which is called uh uh glacial Fortune Demon's hand Buddha heart
29:32
it's an old Shaolin saying develop the demon hunt while at the same time maintain the Buddha's heart demon and Buddha you might say they are both very two
29:47
different sides yeah you need both you need both demon hand demon heart no good then you are going to become a threat for this world
30:04
demon hand Buddha heart well to be able to access something and then decide upon your heart whether to use it or not I think
30:20
this is what we're looking for [Music] the physical abilities is important of course but there's more to it
