There's a lot you probably don't know about the Buddha. For one, the real Buddha was thin. And before he became the "Enlightened One", he was a pampered prince named Siddhartha. He tried starving himself in his quest for inner peace, but found that extremes brought him no closer to enlightenment. Instead, he sought a "middle way" between unhealthy overindulgence and unrealistic abstinence. The instructions he gave his monks about eating, more than 2,500 years ago, were surprisingly simple.

Shaolin Zen features the Original Zen Buddhism (Chan Buddhism) of the Original Shaolin Temple in Northern China.

Otherwise, you have sleepy monks or athletes without a purpose.
