Saffron-robed monks, limbs a blur of movement, making quick work of imagined enemies. The boing of a giant bronze bell calling the faithful to prayer.

But in recent days, another sound has been wafting across its hallowed grounds: the snickering of tourists trading the latest news about the abbot of Shaolin and his reportedly less than virtuous ways. 知识点：incense n. /ˈɪnsens/ a substance that is burned for its sweet smell, often in religious ceremonies. 香（用于宗教仪式） e.g. The priest lit incense before starting the prayer. 祭司在祈祷前点燃了香。 获取外刊的完整原文以及精讲笔记，请关注微信公众号「早安英文」，回复“外刊”即可。更多有意思的英语干货等着你！ 【节目介绍】 《早安英文-每日外刊精读》，带你精读最新外刊，了解国际最热事件：分析语法结构，拆解长难句，最接地气的翻译，还有重点词汇讲解。 所有选题均来自于《经济学人》《纽约时报》《华尔街日报》《华盛顿邮报》《大西洋月刊》《科学杂志》《国家地理》等国际一线外刊。 【适合谁听】 1、关注时事热点新闻，想要学习最新最潮流英文表达的英文学习者 2、任何想通过地道英文提高听、说、读、写能力的英文学习者 3、想快速掌握表达，有出国学习和旅游计划的英语爱好者 4、参加各类英语考试的应试者（如大学英语四六级、托福雅思、考研等） 【你将获得】 1、超过1000篇外刊精读课程，拓展丰富语言表达和文化背景 2、逐词、逐句精确讲解，系统掌握英语词汇、听力、阅读和语法 3、每期内附学习笔记，包含全文注释、长难句解析、疑难语法点等，帮助扫除阅读障碍。

The Buddhist Association of China announced on Monday that it has stripped the ordination certificate of Shi Yongxin, the abbot of the world-renowned Shaolin Temple, after investigations were initiated by multiple authorities against him for alleged embezzlement, "improper relationships with multiple women" and "fathering at least one illegitimate child".中国佛教协会周一宣布，已撤销世界著名少林寺方丈释永信的戒牒。此前，多个部门已对其涉嫌贪污、“与多名女性存在不正当关系” 及 “至少育有一名私生子” 展开调查。The ordination certificate is proof of someone's acceptance into the monastic community.戒牒是个人被接纳进入僧团的证明。In a statement, the association said, "Shi's actions are extremely bad, seriously damaging the reputation of the Buddhist community and the image of monks."该协会在一份声明中表示：“释永信的行为极其恶劣，严重损害了佛教界的声誉和僧人的形象。”On Sunday evening, the Shaolin Temple released a statement on its official website saying Shi, who is also the deputy head of the Association, is suspected of criminal offenses, including embezzling and misappropriating project funds and temple assets, as well as maintaining improper relationships with multiple women over a long period and fathering at least one child.上周日晚间，少林寺在其官方网站发布声明称，同时担任中国佛教协会副会长的释永信涉嫌多项刑事犯罪，包括贪污、挪用项目资金和寺院资产，长期与多名女性保持不正当关系并育有至少一名子女。Born in 1965, Shi became a monk in 1981 and has served as the 30th abbot of the 1,500-year-old temple located in a mountain range in Central China's Henan province since 1999. Being a world-famous Buddhist sanctuary and the birthplace of kung fu, the temple attracts thousands of disciples every year from across the world.释永信生于 1965 年，1981 年出家，自 1999 年起担任这座有着 1500 年历史寺庙的第 30 任方丈。少林寺位于中国中部河南省的山区，作为世界著名的佛教圣地和功夫发源地，每年吸引着来自全球各地的数千名弟子。misappropriate /ˌmɪsəˈprəʊprieɪt/ 挪用；盗用sanctuary /ˈsæŋktʃuəri/ 圣地；庇护所disciple /dɪˈsaɪpl/ 信徒；弟子criminal /ˈkrɪmɪnl/ 犯罪的；刑事的；罪犯编辑分享释永信涉嫌违法犯罪的行为对少林寺产生了哪些影响？如何看待宗教界出现的违法违纪现象？少林寺后续将如何处理释永信的相关事务？

President Trump said there is 'real starvation' in Gaza that cannot be ‘faked', contradicting claims by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that reports starvation in the territory was exaggerated. We hear from the Doctors Without Borders on the ground in Gaza city, and one of the first Israeli rights groups to label Israel's campaign in Gaza 'genocide'.Also in the program: Thailand and Cambodia announce an immediate ceasefire after days of border clashes, and the Shaolin Temple's chief monk is stripped of his position after accusations of embezzlement and breaking his vows of celibacy.Picture: A Palestinian child suffering from malnutrition receives treatment at a healthcare center, amid widespread hunger, as the conflict between Israel and Hamas continues, in Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip March 4, 2024.

"What you get is what you life for" - ShaolinInfluencer. Isra Garcia interviews Coach Shen (known as ShaolinInfluencer) about living the Shaolin experience, street dancing, fighting, teaching Shaolin combat, the influence of dancing, building your character, mastering oneself, looking for the Shaolin Way, and more. Sometimes, life brings us to places where tradition and modernity collide, and in that intersection, we meet people who transform how we see the world. This is one of those stories. Years ago, Isra Garcia found himself stepping through the gates of the Shaolin Temple Europe, a place steeped in ancient wisdom and timeless discipline. It was here, surrounded by the serenity of the monastery and the powerful rhythm of martial arts, that Isra first encountered Coach Shen (Xiao Shen), known as ShaolinInfluencer—a change agent and disruptor who redefines what it means to live the Shaolin way. "The more unconscious about my body, the more I feed my consciousness" - ShaolinInfluencer. His paths crossed amidst the temple's unique atmosphere, where silence and movement create a language of their own. Coach Shen stood out—not just as a teacher of Shaolin arts, but as someone who seamlessly blends combat techniques, mindful living, and the boundless energy of breakdance and free form movement. His presence, his energy, and his philosophy captivated Isra, sparking a connection that has stayed with us ever since. Today, in this very special episode, Isra sits down with Coach Shen (ShaolinInfluencer) for an intimate and dynamic conversation. Together, we explore his journey, his evolution as a Shaolin instructor, and how he balances the ancient and the modern to craft a teaching style that is as innovative as it is rooted in tradition. "If every day you combine one movement, at the end of the year you have 365 moves" - Shaolin Influencer. In the heart of Europe, at the Shaolin Temple Europe, emerges a figure who perfectly embodies the fusion of ancient tradition and modernity: Coach Shen. As an instructor at this Buddhist monastery located in Otterberg, Germany, Coach Shen not only imparts the ancient teachings of Shaolin but also enriches them with contemporary elements, creating a truly unique experience for his students. Coach Shen's life is a testament to the harmonious integration of seemingly contrasting disciplines and lifestyles. His training in Shaolin martial arts has granted him a deep understanding of Kung Fu, traditional combat and other traditional practices. Yet, his passion for movement led him to explore breakdance and freestyle dance, disciplines that demand exceptional agility, strength, and creativity. "I influence the modern side and the Shaolin side" - ShaolinInfluencer. His disruptive approach has resonated within the Shaolin Temple Europe community, attracting students eager for a learning experience that transcends traditional teachings. Through his instruction, Coach Shen proves that martial arts and dance are not opposing disciplines but complementary paths to self-discovery and personal mastery. In this episode, we'll delve into Coach Shen's journey, his teaching philosophy, and how he has seamlessly woven the ancient art of Shaolin with the vibrant expressions of modern movement. Join us on this journey to discover how tradition and innovation can coexist and enrich each other in the pursuit of balance and inner harmony. "When dancing, whenever you want to do it, you do it...

In this rerun episode, I share my incredible journey of living and training with Shaolin monks in Kunming, China, for a few months. As a huge Bruce Lee fan, I was inspired to learn Kung Fu from the legendary warrior monks and step out of my comfort zone for personal growth. Despite the initial challenges of an unfamiliar environment, I fully immersed myself in the Shaolin Temple lifestyle. The monks' dedication to their craft through repetition for hours each day was an inspiring life lesson. I also got to observe that: Repetition is the mother of skill - mastery comes through consistent practice Stepping out of your comfort zone leads to profound personal growth Saying yes to your divine purpose, marked in your heart, is the key to living with passion Self-love is the highest vibration you can operate from My time in China taught me to embrace being a beginner, let go of what no longer serves me, and prioritize self-love. I share these life-changing lessons and more from my unforgettable experience living and training with Shaolin monks in Kunming.

We sit down for a one on one chat with Master Shi Heng Yi who is at his temple in Otterberg Germany. Shifu, as we call him, is the founder and headmaster of Europe's only 24x7 Shaolin Temple for martial arts. He is a martial arts master practising the way of Chan Buddhism. Born and bred in Germany, he is the son of Vietnamese immigrants who left to make a better path for their children. As a young boy he took up martial arts – and the training, discipline and world view it afforded him became a foundation for how he was to live his life as an adult. We dive immediately into a discussion about the attention to thoughts, thoughts being separation and the truth in the non-rational and the non-intellectual. And there's more: replacing coincidence, not being unaligned, thoughts coming for you and becoming the paradise that you want to achieve. We learn about different types of elevation and the bottom line of what the true type of elevation ultimately creates. So much goodness here.

About Ruth Fearnow: Ruth Fearnow is a therapist, author and speaker. Her first book, Therapeutic Mindfulness, is a synthesis of her decades-long meditation practice and her work healing trauma and mental distress. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) practitioner, she has identified and embedded the factors necessary for healing into therapeutic mindfulness, a skill to facilitate one's healing journey. Ruth's private journey began as a young woman when she found herself studying kung fu and qi gong in Dengfeng City, China, the home of the famous Shaolin Temple. It was there she began a serious meditation practice. While this skill takes years to develop, this was her first big step to understanding mindfulness practices. Ruth's evolution into a trauma therapist has enabled her to integrate age-old wisdom with trauma-informed insight. As a result, she has developed healing philosophies and the process of therapeutic mindfulness which she practices personally, and teaches to her clientele, many of whom use it on their own. Therapeutic mindfulness has now been adopted for professional use by colleagues in the mental health field.   What We Discuss In This Episode: Dealing with feelings directly is transformational and Therapeutic Mindfulness shows us how to do so. How Therapeutic Mindfulness is different from other forms of mindfulness. Ruth shares with us about coping skills versus healing skills. What factors help the mind to heal? What role does self-compassion play in this or other healing processes? Ruth shares how we can know we I should try this process for ourselves.   Free Resource from Ruth Fearnow: Free Guide to Therapeutic Mindfulness: https://www.ruthfearnow.com/downloads   Resources from Ruth Fearnow: Therapeutic Mindfulness Book: https://www.amazon.com/Therapeutic-Mindfulness-Healing-Skill-Coping/dp/B0C2SG3YZS/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1E9RZ7OIJEJQL&keywords=therapeutic+mindfulness&qid=1685640898&sprefix=therapeutic+mindfulnes%2Caps%2C223&sr=8-2   Connect With Ruth Fearnow: Website: https://www.ruthfearnow.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/calmtohappy   Connect with Lynne: If you're looking for a community of like-minded women on a journey - just like you are - to improved health and wellness, overall balance, and increased confidence, check out Lynne's private community in The Energized Healthy Women's Club.
