- When posing
in
"double knot seating position", eyes viewing the tip of one's nose, one
does not look around.
- With
“eyes
cast down, nose pointing to the mouth, and the mouth
viewing one's heart”, one can control body and mind.
- Your waist must
be
straight, it should be a positive position, therefore one cannot bend
down, neither Should the body be turned crooked towards the left, nor
slanting towards the right.
- This vision is
comparable to a bell, well stabilized, motionless, without swinging,
not like a clock pendulum and shaking and swinging towards west and
east.
- In double
crosslegged seating position the posture only then conforms with
meditation practices.
One begins the
studies of imperial sacrifices - which the human mind is not familiar
with.
- Whilst one's
legs
will hurt in such position, with the waist sore; achieving the inner
peace makes the physical discomfort unimportant.
- One clenches his
teeth in order to endure patiently for a while, as our nature never
experienced this kind of phenomenon; “being seated for a long
time in this manner is called the imperial sacrifice”.
- Only after one
can
achieve the blissful peace naturally induced by meditation.AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

News
: Illegal
buildings
around the Shaolin
Temple have attracted public
attention after local
media reported that some temporary facilities were set up outside the
temple and a construction site was established just 200 meters from the
temple.
Shi said the Shaolin Temple did not construct those buildings. "If new
buildings around Shaolin Temple were really needed, they must be
approved by the authorities and built according to law so as to ensure
that they are harmonious with Shaolin culture and Shaolin architectural
style."
The
building being built near Shaolin Temple was a canteen of the
Shaolin Temple Scenic Spot Administration Bureau. The construction had
been suspended pending government approval, said a spokesman for the
bureau.
Other illegal facilities would be torn down, he added.
"No unapproved buildings shall be allowed in the vicinity of Shaolin
Temple," said Guo Lei, head of the heritage preservation bureau of
Zhengzhou City in central China's Henan Province, which administers the
Shaolin Temple scenic spot.
Shaolin Temple, famous for Buddhist teaching and Chinese martial arts,
was enlisted as world cultural heritage by UNESCO in 2010.
