Buddhism culture

Today I want to introduce Buddhism. It is one of the main religions in the world.The origin place of Buddhism is ancient India.According the Buddhist sutras  ,Shakyamuni is the originator, so he has the highest statue in thearchy. The ancient India distinguished people in four grades.Brahman is the top grade, composed by Religion flamen. Kshatriya is the second grade,includes the king and nobleman. Vaisya is composed by farmer, handicraftsman and businessman. Sudra has lowest statue ,they are slaves and untouchable. Shakyamuni thought the society is not equal so he created a new religion. The main religious doctrine of Buddhism is to be goodness, otherwise heart will be punished.Everyone has past life and future life.

Around the Christian era,Buddhism spread to China and became the main belief of Chinese. Buddhism influenced people from different social bracket,no matter they are rich or poor, they all have sense of fear.They cannot became lawlessness because they afraid their future life will be punished.

My families are all buddhists .My mother always go to temple. However, I don't believe Buddhism at all.I believe science, everything is made of material. If people dies, the soul cannot be existed.

Chinese Kung fu is widespread in the world, not only include a large quantity of movies with Kung fu genre, but also attract people learn Shaolin, tai chi and wing chun Kung fu around the world. 

I become interested in Kung fu since I watched Jackie Chen’s action movie with my father. Jackie Chen is not as strong as foreign hatchet man, but he can beat several of them by flexible movement and powerful fist position. I was shocked at that time and thought if I can master the skill ,it can be very useful. My father told me some functions of Chinese Kung fu. First is to make body stronger to defense others’ attack. Secondly, it’s related to medical science because there are many acupoints in our body. We can understand how our body works and that’s the essential part of Chinese medicine. More importantly, it’s a kind of national spirit which we cannot lose. Then he told me the story of Bruce Lee. He is a famous man to spread true essence of Chinese Kung fu to the world. He did best to utilize the potential power of the body. He believe that Kung fu can make us find true self.

I hope more film and Television works that we can better understand the world of Chinese Kung fu in future.
