taichichuan

Sifu Wong publishes The Complete Book of Tai Chi Chuan. The book covers history, combat application, sparring, set practice, pushing hands, qigong and meditation.

It is worth remembering that Tai Chi Chuan is not a gentle dance, not even a set of health exercises; it is basically a martial art. And it is not an ordinary martial art. Unlike most others, it is graceful and elegant even when it is used in fighting, and it abhors aggression which is a prominent feature of many fighting systems.

artofshaolinSifu Wong publishes The Art of Shaolin Kung Fu. It is 240 pages long and is billed as the ultimate guide to kung fu. It includes chapters on sample training programs, history, philosophy, and setting objectives.

One of the best martial arts books I’ve ever read. I train in Shobayashi Ryu, which is closely related to Shaolin kung fu. This was a great bit of supplemental information.

Sukhavati-198x300

Sifu Wong publishes Sukhavati: The Western Paradise. This book is entirely about Buddhism, Amitabha Buddha and the sutras concerning Amitabha’s Western Paradise. It includes many mantras, sutras and other practices for the express purpose of going to Western Paradise after death.

Although this method is simple, one must not be mistaken that it is necessarily easy — although it is actually easier than most other methods of spiritual cultivation.
