Sometimes you'll see 18 warrior angels surrounding Buddha on the ancient tapestries. These are his guardians, the Luohan.

These Buddhist angels are role models for us Shaolin Disciples. They are the protectors of Buddha in Heaven. So first, let's learn how to protect ourselves.

January 25, 2008 = Buddha Kung Fu birthday. The first Shifu sash of Buddha Kung Fu was worn at the YMCA Tai Chi class.

Is this the birthday of Buddha Kung Fu?

2008 is the beginning of BUDDHA KUNG FU.

The Buddha Kung Fu and Buddha Tai Chi programs at Crescenta Valley Park are the first Buddha Kung Fu classes using the NEW Buddha Kung Fu curriculums.

Buddha Zhen hand printed the entire Buddha Kung Fu curriculum on a large piece of foam-core, from his Hollywood cinematography years.

On the reverse side of the foam-coare, Buddha Zhen printed out the BUDDHA TAI CHI curriculum.

All students were very pleased with the curriculums with only a few alterations to the CAT WALKS.

In 1996 Master Zhen founded the Tai Chi Youth nonprofit organization.

In 2001, the I.R.S. granted Tai Chi Youth nonprofit charity status after completing the five years of initial filings and operations.

Buddha Zhen created Shaolin Chi Mantis Traditional Buddhist Gongfu in 1992.

Hired by the Decker Lake Maximum Security Prison, Buddha Zhen created the first Shaolin Chi Mantis curriculums and wrote the TAI CHI BEGINNER book which was first printed using the prison press.
