Win without
Fight

A few
days ago, a group of kungfu masters from Shaolin
Monastery reportedly travelled northwestwards
to let the courageous Russian officers strike
their chest, punch their throat, kick their,
well, see the pic for yourself. It doesn't
require a lot of imagination to figure out
who actually got hurt - not the ones in the
receiving end of the onslaught, clearly, as
they look totally unfazed, but the ones
utilized their fists, arms and legs to
initiate the attacks.
The Shaolin style Iron
Shirt (铁布衫),
Iron Thorat (铁喉功) and
Iron Crotch (铁裆功),
the supreme kungfus, which the masters
acquired through years of diligent training,
help their mind become
expandable, their heart
inclusive, and their body unassailable.
Great
Chinese philosopher Laotze says in the Way
of Virtue (道德经):
"What is the supreme way of Heaven:
Never fight for triumph yet never fail to
prevail; forever remain silent yet always be
heard (天之道，不争而善胜，不言而善应)."
And
that - not assault, not insult - makes one
truly invincible.
