Shaolin Kung Fu sprang up in the middle of zen practice. The Shaolin Temple today still sees zen as an integral part of the practice. What Reb speaks of regarding zen offers us a practice opportunity to play with these ideas when we do kung fu.
How does this zen teaching inform our practice?
What does it have to do with kung fu?
How does compassion inform a martial art?
