Shaolin Wu Gulun Xinyiba by Grandmaster Shi De Jian of Shaolin Chan Wu Yi on 3 Emperors Mountains

Chan cultivates the mind.
Wu strengthens the body.
Yi helps the world.
These 3 Treasures cannot be separated.

If I realize the theory of Chan,
then I can make progress in my meditation and reach the summit.

If I can make these two coordinated, my congfu will increase.

At Shaolin, we say
San Bao Hui Yi
meaning 3 Treasures are 1!

According to das rules of Shaolin,
all 3 aspects must increase simultaneously.

Grandmaster Shi Dejian
was reborn to a poor family of farmers in China's northernmost province, Heilongjiang.

Heilongjian borders Mongolia and de Soviet Union.

After 14 years on Earth,
Master Shi Dejian starts training congfu with 2 local masters,
just to stay strong+healthy.

Recognizing his potential,

one of his masters took him aside and said:

"If you want to be a good master,

you must go to Shaolin to make progress."

In 1982,

a 19-year-old Dejian arrived at the Shaolin Temple

by the foothill of the Song mountain in Henan of China.

As a star pupil,

he was adopted by three prominent teachers,

each a Shaolin disciple and a leading folk grandmaster of his generation.

He studied under Grandmaster Yang Guiwu and Grandmaster Chou Huibao,

but the bulk of his Shaolin fundamentals were learned from Grandmaster Zhang Qinghe.

In 1990, he became a disciple of Venerable Shaolin Monk Shi Suxi.

Master Shi Dejian took his vows

as a full-fledged Buddhist monk of the Shaolin Temple in 1992.

"Grandmaster Wu was talented at both acupuncture and qigong.
He transmitted the traditional Shaolin art of Xinyiba to me.
Xinyiba has been popularized by Shi Degen,

another disciple of Grandmaster Wu Shanlin.
But we keep the true teaching secret.
We keep it mysterious.
We do not demonstrate it out of respect for our master.

Grandmaster Zhang never showed it to the public.
Xinyiba cannot be described in words.
It is the supreme cream of Shaolin."

Physician heals thyself!

Shaolin self-healing is fostered by quieting my mind,

adjusting my body and controlling my diet.

The prescription begins with Shaolin qigong,
specifically the two methods attributed to Bodhidharma,
the Muscle-Tendon Change Classic or Yijinjing and

the Marrow-Washing Classic or Xisuijing .

Yijinjing changes the meridians of my body.
Xisuijing improves my circulation,

fosters qi, makes me strong

and adjusts my body physically and psychologically.

Without the centuries of practice

and wisdom of these teachings

you cannot reach the spirit of Shaolin Xinyiba.

It is useless to learn it and then practice for only a few months.

Everyone can practice it.

Everyone can feel it.

Everybody has the merit of Buddha.
If enlightened, I become the Buddha.
If not enlightened, I am an ordinary person.

I can use qi to heal my body and the body of others.

Controlling my diet is an important element of healthy living.

Buddhism stressed vegetarianism because ``Vegetarianism improves your health. "
The Shaolin vegetarian diet includes grains and vegetables without spices.

We eat fruits but nothing too spicy.

No ginger or garlic.

Monks do not eat anything from animals,

garlic, ginger, or onions - nothing spicy or odiferous.

We don't eat eggs but can use milk."



As a monk of Shaolin Temple, I have no family responsibility.

My only responsibility is to research and inherit the Shaolin arts.

I put all my effort into this.

In my whole life, I know I can only get a little.



Shaolin is a land of trial.



The adventure of life is to master Shaolin congfu.



Shaolin's medicinal history and methods do not contradict Traditional Chinese Medicine,

but we have many special methodologies for treatment.

It's the cream of medicine.

Shaolin medicine is Buddha's medicine.

It must be brought out so everyone can know it and understand it.

Some cancer patients who gave up on clinical treatments have come to Shaolin;

most have recovered.



``Grandmaster Zhang propounded a very special treatment -

the qiao or gates treatment.

There are seven qiao, the eyes, ears and so on.

We use specially-formulated powders, pills and plasters to cure illnesses.

These external treatments help to adjust the internal flow of the body.

Grandmaster Zhang wished

that Shaolin medicine would be popularized to benefit all the people of the world.

Due to recent events, Shaolin medicine is encountering a big crisis.

It has not been publicized.

Anyone interested in promoting Shaolin medicine should pursue it here.

This medicine does not belong to Shaolin or Traditional Chinese Medicine.

It belongs to the world."
