Ancient Tips to a Long Life

Last week my cousin Bari sent me this:
“Ten Tips From A Shaolin Monk On How To Stay
Young”. Most of us have heard of the Shaolin
Monastery. It was founded in the 5th century and
has been the main association with the martial
arts. I was fascinated with Shaolin and Kung Fu
for years. I read every book I could get my hands
on and when the Kung Fu TV series started. I never
missed one adventure of Kwai Chang Caine played by
David Carradine. I remember the sayings: Master
Kan in the show.

“To hit a target… is to exercise the inner
strength. Indeed there are two kinds of strengths.
The outer strength is obvious: it fades with age
and succumbs to sickness. Then there is the ch’i,
the inner strength. Everyone possesses it, too.
But it is indeed much more difficult to develop.
The inner strength lasts through every heat and
every cold. Through old age and beyond. –
Wow was I excited and inspired, I knew I had to
develop Chi and the inner power and to this day I
still work on cultivating my Chi.

My life has followed three stages. When I was
young I developed the skills as a warrior learning
the martial art skills and as I matured I became a
healer and a priest. Today that may sound like a
video game or something from an old Druidism
religion of the Celtic people. Life is an
interesting journey, staying alive is challenging.

These ancient tips to a long life from the
Shaolin monetary still apply today.

1) Don’t think too much. Thinking takes energy.
Thinking can make you look old.
2) Don’t talk too much. Most people either talk or
do. Better to do.
3) When you work, work for 40 minutes then stop
for 10 minutes. When you look at something all the
time, it can damage your eyes and also your
internal organs and peace.
4) When you are happy, you need to control your
happiness; if you lose control then you damage
your lung energy.

5) Don’t worry too much or get angry because this
damages your liv er and your intestines.
6) When you eat food don’t eat too much, always
make sure you are not quite full as this can
damage your spleen. When you feel a bit hungry
then eat a little.
7) When you do things take your time, don’t hurry
too much. Remember the saying “Hasten slowly you
will soon arrive.”
8) If you only do physical exercise all the time
and you never do Qi gong this makes you lose your
balance and you will become impatient. You lose
the Yin of your body. Exercise balances the Yin
and the Yang.
9) If you never exercise, just peace, meditation,
soft training, Qi Gong, then this doesn’t give you
Yang energy so you use up your Yang energy.
