of three realms:Kungfu
In the primary realm, the practitioner practices their form and appearance.
In the intermediate realm, there is the integration of mind and fist, changing the tangible into the intangible, turning the law into the lawless; obeying no rules, having no movement to follow, controlling the enemy in the intangible. An ancient boxing manual reads, `defeat a person in the intangible or fail being seen`.
Kung Fu
The profound cultural connotation expressed in Shaolin Kung Fu is
fundamentally endowed by the wisdom of Chan Buddhism (Zen). Shaolin
Gongfu is in the first place, the expression of a deeper spiritual goal
and secondarily in the pursuit for superhuman strength. The desire for
transcendental strength and wisdom are at the core of Shaolin Chan
Buddhism. This is the reason behind Shaolin Kungfu appearing as a
miraculous martial art and it's difference to other martial arts.
