SHAOLIN - TONG ZI GONG

Sat, 31 Oct 2009 07:16:51 -0400

SHAOLIN TONG-ZI-GONG – BUDDHIST YOGA of WARRIOR MONKS: Art of flexibility. The Tong-Zi-gong is the essence of the best exercises of Indian Yoga, Kung-Fu and Qi-gong, so it is considered the most mystical Shaolin Kung-Fu. It is, along with the Qi-gong, the inner discipline preferred by the Shaolin Masters. Flexibility is crucial, because it is more flexible, more resistant to pain and can best withstand the pain, the quicker you learn Kung-fu. Last millennium, the Shaolin Order has always imposed the Tong Zi-gong-like basic training for every child who wanted to become a Shaolin Monk. This is not wrong: the Tong-Zi-gong, in fact, is able to transform a poor student in a particularly gifted student who stands out among its peers, strong in body and spirit, qualities that keep it for all life. If you start the practice of Shaolin Kung-Fu without first practicing Tong-Zi-gong, the quality of the technique will decline at the age of 50 or 60 years maximum, but those who practice the Tong-Zi-gong had lost none of own agility and skill in Kung-Fu. The Shaolin Quan-Mi adds: “The Monk will look young and agile as a boy, although his hair is white like the feathers of a crane. His body will be soft like brocade, light as a swallow and tough as steel”. Shaolin Tong-Zi-gong includes external and internal exercises; exercises to improve flexibility; exercises to improve strength and exercises to improve posture. Till today, outside of China are very few schools that teach Shaolin systematically this ancient and valuable discipline. In Italy this task is entrusted to the Academy SHAOLIN MONKS ITALY / E-MAA by M ° Sri Rohininandana Das and M ° Radha Priya Dasi (first woman Master in the world to have officially presented Tong-Zi-Gong), in Milan. In this video M ° Radha Priya Dasi presents a Tao-Lu (shape) of Tong-Zi-Gong advanced level that exemplifies the capacity of this Shaolin discipline to make the body of a martial athlete strong and flexibl...

VERSES OF PRAYER recited by AYANG RINPOCHE

Mon, 18 Feb 2008 01:41:28 -0500

VISUAL DHARMA 90 (2008) is published to benefit all beings and to plant the seeds of Enlightenment. THE VERSES OF PRAYER TO THE EIGHT NOBLE AUSPICIOUS ONES by MIPHAM RINPOCHE, recited by venerable AYANG RINPOCHE is well known Buddhist Prayer (tib. Phag-pa ta-shi gye-pä tsig-su che-pa shug-so). It is recited by Vajrayana Buddhists around the world. The author, venerable Mipham Rinpoche-Jampal Gyepai Dorje (1846-1912) was one of the great Nyingma Vajrayana Buddhist Masters. From his early years Mipham Jamyang Namgyal Gyamtso Rinpoche had excellent spiritual connections with Buddha Manjushri in the form of Vadisimha. He understood sutras, mantras and sciences and is often portrayed with symbols of the Sword of Manjushri and sacred text Prajnaparamita. His root guru (i.e. Lord of his enlightened family) was Khyentse Wangpo. Mipham Rinpoche wrote XXXII. Volumes of Dharma, including the Cycle of Mind in its natural state (tib. gnyug-sems skor). In his spiritual Testament he wrote : „Nowdays, if one speaks the truth, there is no one to listen. If one speaks falsely everyone holds it to be true. Therefore, I have not disclosed this to anyone before : I am no ordinary person. I am a bodhisattva who has taken birth by the power of his aspiration." (Dudjom Rinpoche: Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism -- History: Close lineages of the Treasures, pg. 878). Mipham Rinpoche had many visions of all surpassing realisation- rainbows, light rays and points and the manifestations of the bodies and realms of the buddhas. At his cremation on 29th day of 4th lunar month (1912) there were many rainbows and other wonderful signs. His wish was to be reborn in the Shambhala pure land in the north. Among Mipham Rinpoche´s disciples were : Lerab Lingpa (previous incarnation of Sogyal Rinpoche and of the late Khenpo Jigme Phuntsog Rinpoche), Dzogchen Tulku V, Adzom Drukpa (previous incarnation of Chögyal Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche) and others.
