Maybe some of you don't know what is the purpose of meditating for the temple and the origins of Chan, let me explain it a little:
-It's to show our respect to the temple and buddhism
-It helps to remember the origins of what we are practicing which is a very long history
-It's to thank our Chan/martial arts ancestrors. To name some: Bodhidharma (Da Mo), Sidharta Gautama (Buddha), every shaolin monks, your sifu, your community, ...
-If we all can do it at the same time, it's showing the high level of respect for the temple/Chan
-Every meditation will calm the mind and let you a great feeling of inner peaceful
-It will let you the feeling that you are not alone in your meditation, we are a big community, it's not only people from a little forum on their computer, only users, but true martial arts/buddhists from the entire world paying respect to the Shaolin Si.
Thanks to all of you who can join us!
