"The Original Boxing Tree of Traditional Shaolin Kung Fu" series By: Shi De Yang The Eighteen Arhat Skills (Luohan Shi Ba Shou) is one of the first elementary boxing series in Shaolin Kung Fu. According to the Shaolin boxing manual, the kung fu monks had selected and edited a simple series of boxing that didn't have too much exercise. It was for the Buddhist monks who sit in meditation facing the wall for a long time. At first, they selected one movement respectively from the eighteen Buddhist Arhats bronze statues, and it was called The Eighteen Arhat Skills. Later, it was developed into a complete Wushu routine, and it was also called The Eighteen Arhat Skills. It mostly consisted of postures of retreating, turning, dodging, shrinking and so on to avoid the attacking of the opponent. The postures can be used skillfully to attack the enemy's upper part and defend his own lower part, attack the enemy's left part and defend his right part. You can also use both attacking and defending postures, false and true postures. You can achieve such aims: When you are attacking, you won't expose your shortcomings; when you are defending, you can find a chance to attack; when you face a stronger enemy, you won't be beaten; when you face a weaker enemy, you are sure to win. At the same time, pay attention to the coordination of the leg, elbow and the body. Pay special attention to the eyesight.

Money (lots of it) and spirituality (questionable amount of it) continue to mix at Radha Soami Satsang Beas, the Indian religious organization I used to be a part of. Someone just emailed me a link to this news story, "Religare Health Trust names Gurpreet Dhillon as CEO." Religare Health Trust (RHT), a wholly owned subsidiary of Delhi-based Religare Enterprise Ltd (REL), has named Gurpreet Dhillon as CEO of the company. Earlier, Dhillon was working as the executive director and COO of RHT. ...Gurpreet Dhillon is also a second cousin of the billionaire brothers Malvinder and Shivinder Singh who are the promoters of Religare and Fortis Group. Moreover, Gurpreet is one of the two sons of Gurinder Singh Dhillon, leader of the spiritual group Radha Soami Satsang Beas. The Singh brothers are followers of the spiritual group and their maternal grandfather had previously served as one of the gurus of the group. It's a tangled web -- the connections between Guru Gurinder...
l like hearing deconversion stories. Deconversion, as I've noted, is as natural as conversion. Here's a tale that came to me in an email message. Jesse was pleased to let me share it with others. Thanks, Jesse. I've added a few explanations of unfamiliar terms [in brackets]. Hi Brian, Since your blog is the go-to place for anti-Radha Soami Satsang Beas stuff I thought I'd share this with you, you fuckadilly pigfuck. (I'm kidding. That's an insulting and hilarious line directed at you from a hater who left a comment on your I Hate Church of the Churchless site.) Anyway, I'm not sure how to articulate this but I'll try. Earlier today a friend and I went to the local Radha Soami Satsang Beas (RSSB) meeting in Minnesota. I'd decided to donate two boxes of RSSB books which I had already read. I never thought anything about donating the books since I'd been collecting free books and magazines for years. Though I hadn't attended satsan...
Infinite Loving-Kindness is an Exalted State! The Blessed Buddha once explained Loving-Kindness (Mettā) like this: This is what should be done by a clever one to arouse the advantageous: Having attained a peaceful state: He should be capable, straight, and very upright, easy to speak to, gentle, and not proud, content, and easy to support, with few duties, living simple, with calmed senses, devoted, and neither angry, nor greedy. He should not do any mean thing, which wise men would criticize. He always should wish: Let all beings be happy, joyous, glad, safe, and secure. Whatever living creatures there exist, still or moving, small or large, seen or unseen, far or near, already existing or coming into being, let all these living beings without any even single exception be completely and perfectly happy! One should never despise anyone anywhere, nor humiliate anyone anywhere, nor ever wish for any beings misery or harm, because of anger or irritation. Just as a mot...
