A STONE IN SHAOLIN
IS REPUTED TO BE HUMAN
IT LOOKS LIKE A PERSON
YET, IT IS CLEARLY A STONE
WHAT KIND OF STONE ?
A MEDITATION STONE
WHAT KIND OF PERSON ?
A MEDITATING BUDDHA
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
ONCE A PRINCE MEDITATED WITH THIS STONE FOR NINE YEARS
ATTAINING THE ENLIGHTENMENT OF A BUDDHA
ON BECOMING A BUDA
HE CLEANSED HIS BODY OF THE WORLD’S IMPURITIES,
ALLOWING HIS SPIRIT TO ENTER THE STONE.
THE STONE TOOK ON THE BUDDHA’S FORM
AND SHAOLIN BECAME ONE OF THE PROMINENT MARTIAL STYLES |
