Racism Needs to be Stopped
This is me Kang again. This video could be considered a response to what Shi Zu Lee is going through with racism against his race. I have some experiences with racism too but I do not believe it is as bad as Shi Zu's. However, I still want to share my experiences with it too. I also mentioned the music video released by the band Day Above Ground. The song is called Asian Girlz. The title itself already indicate racism. The lyrics are garbage. I am even more disappointed of her to put herself out there like that. Again, that is not what Bruce Lee fought for. He did not fight for the Asian community to be put down at such a low level. I do not believe that.

FMK's Future
This has been on my mind for a very long time. I know the reality is in the present moment; in other words, it is in the now. However, I keep having these visions and I cannot help but expressing it. Do not worry, I am not going to get angry or anything. Although I am not writing for anybody, I personally want to let you know that I am not going to use profanity that much...or maybe not. Hey, if you do not like profanity though, I am probably not going to be your favorite writer.
Let us get to the vision shall we? Recently, I have visions about each Todai in FMK. I see a great future for them. I see them getting at a very high level in every aspect of their lives. I see female Todais of FMK getting really fit. Trust me: so far, I notice how hard they are working! I barely see ladies working that hard in my life. Last lady I trained only last about two days and she never trained with me anymore. The men I am watching so far seem to be very disciplined. They are following Shi Zu pretty well and I like that. Congratulations guys. I hope become Sifus someday.
However, I begin to ask myself what if it does not happen? What if I am wrong all along? What if all of them did not survive 2013? What if I do not survive tonight? That is the reason why we all should appreciate the present. I believe every of you guys are trying your hardest now. I am very content with that. If what I envisioned can happen, it will happen. If it did not, then it did not. No big deal. However, I still would encourage everybody in FMK to keep working hard and do the best you can every day.
The Beach is a Workout
Today, I went to the beach with my female cousins. Before we got to the beach, we ate a couple of empanadas. By the time we got there, we tried to go into the water. The water was so cold that I could not even dare to put my fingernails on it. But once the water hit you once, it will be easy to overcome the cold. All you had to do is to just dive in it. We swim for a while. I also discover a way to get your fitness into a higher level. It is very difficult to throw a fast kick while on the water. The kick will be slow if you do not kick often but I believe if you kick with the water more, it will make your kicks more powerful. Another way to step up your cardio is to run on the sand. It will slow your step down. That is what makes it so intense! Working should not always be at the gym.
A workout should be everywhere. We need to start coming out more and enjoy the beauty of nature.

Truly Eastern/Western
Jet
Li and Jackie Chan don’t give a fuck about America. They are fully Chinese, they ate not
Chinese/American like Bruce and I. Bruce
had a deep connection with America, he was born in California and lived about
half his life being educated in America.
Bruce was truly a Chinese/American that was caught in between two
different cultures.
Jet
Li doesn’t give a fuck about America, he knows that they are racist and they
don’t don’t give a fuck about him. He
can barely speak English himself. He
knows that America will use him to make money if they can and if they can’t
they don’t give a damn about him. The
president of the U.S. asked him to be his bodyguard at one time and Jet Li
responded that he would not be bodyguard for one person when he should be
protecting and representing the entire population of people in China. Jet Li’s home is China, not America. Jet Li would not fight for equality and peace
for America, Jet Li would fight for equality and peace for China.
Jackie
Chan is considered one of the most famous in all of China, he is known by
everyone there and is loved. His home is
China, his home is not America. Like Jet
Li, he would not fight for equality and peace for America because that is not
his home. He could care less what
happens here in America.
Bruce
Lee was completely different, he was truly multi-cultural, Bruce Lee did not
have a home. He was homeless, his home
was the world. He could not choose
sides, he saw the beauty of both sides.
The traditional Chinese Wing Chun community tried to make him turn
against America but he refused, he actually fought for his right to teach
American’s Gung Fu. Bruce was truly not
racist because he did not choose sides, he was both sides. But Jet and Jackie are not both sides, Jet
and Jackie are fully Chinese, they will pick the Chinese over the American any
day. Jet and Jackie would never fight for
the right to teach Americans, they would care less about the Americans.
For
me I care about the Americans because I am an American myself, this is where I
live. Racism in America affects me
directly because I live here. It is
extremely important for me to put forth effort to create a better America. As far as what is going on in China, how can
I even put forth effort to make a better China when there are already so many
problems here in America?
I
cannot completely turn against the Chinese because China is in my blood. So like Bruce I am caught in between. I see the beauty of both whereas most will
only see the beauty of one side. It is
the gift of circumstances that allow me to see the beauty of both sides. Because I see the beauty of both sides, it
allows me to have a much deeper understanding of myself and society. One of my major goals is to educate people on
this other side, this is what I call Philosia.
Proper Fucking English
Those
who are racist will poke fun of the minority who does not speak “proper
English.” It gives them a feeling of
superiority over the minority. The
minority may be gifted genetically, the minority may be a hard worker, the
minority may be a gifted athlete, the minority may be a great scholar, the
minority may be great in cooking, the minority may have many great
talents. But the racist gives no
attention to any of these talents; the racist is primarily focused on
criticizing the minority’s expression of the English language.
Because
the racist has no other talents that outshine the minority, he needs to hold
onto something in order to give himself reason to feel superior. He knows that if he uses his skin color as
reason to feel superior, it will not be allowed by society, so he will latch
onto using the English language. Now he considers
himself superior over the minority because he speaks proper English and the
minority does not.
In
hardcore hip-hop music, there is a lot of profanity that is not allowed in the
society and is considered bad and improper.
The use of profanity and slang is a way of rebelling against the
racists. Minorities are indicating
through the use of profanity and slang that there is no such thing as improper
English, there is only communication, the racist is not better than anyone just
because he speaks more “properly” than the minority. The Americans are not better than the Chinese
because they speak English and the Chinese speak Cantonese. No one language is better than another; there
are only different ways of expressing the nature of reality.
Racist Jokes - EXPLICIT
Just
like masturbation is supposed to occur privately, I see racist jokes is
supposed to occur privately, not publicly.
If you are going to humiliate another race of people, you should keep
that joke private with your own trusted friend or friends that accept your
racist remarks. The more people that
hear your racist “joke” the more likelihood somebody will take offense. Hollywood is not supposed to produce any
movies that supports views of racism because of how much power they have over
the population. Just like how Hollywood
does not support or produce hardcore pornography.
When
you laugh at a racist joke that involves another race other than your own, it
indicates the inner racism within you and that is not something you should be
proud about or broadcast. It is
something you should laugh about in private.
Just like if you have a friend that looks very silly dancing but does
not realize it, if you just start balling out laughing at him, you will probably
hurt his feelings. You have to be
sensitive to his emotions and learn how to communicate to him that he needs
more practice with his dancing. Laughing
at another persons expense can many times cause misery upon the person whom you
are laughing at, unless he is a goofball that accepts himself to be someone that
is constantly laughed at.
But
these goofballs are born on an individual level; an entire race of people
cannot be born to be goofballs. If you
talk shit about blacks in front of Dave Chappelle, he may laugh with you
because he is a comedian but if you talk shit about blacks in front of 2pac, he
will probably beat the fuck out of you.
If you talk shit about the Chinese in front of Jackie Chan, he will
probably laugh along with you because he is a goofball but if you talk shit
about the Chinese in front of Bruce Lee, he would probably beat the fuck out of
you just like he did in his movies when the Japanese were putting down his
race, he fucked them all up!
In
Rush Hour, Chris Tucker was talking a bunch of shit about the Chinese right in
front of Jackie Chan and Jackie Chan did nothing. If it was the same exact scenario with Bruce
Lee, Bruce Lee would have fucked Christ Tucker up drastically and he would have
learned not to talk shit again especially if he wanted to keep his teeth! This would have taught the public that the
Chinese should be respected, not fucking laughed at. But because Jackie Chan did not stand up for
himself in Rush Hour and allowed all those racially charged jokes to slide, the
entire population believed that it is ok to make fun of the Chinese, they ain’t
going to do shit!
So
then you come across a bunch of racist motherfuckers who go around saying to
all Asian people, “do you understand the words that are coming out of my
mouth?” You see a lot of people are
afraid to publicly talk shit about black people because they know that blacks
will fight back & fuck them up.
There’s a certain level of respect and fear.
And
that’s typically how it goes, the only reason you respect the Police Officer
over the Security Guard is because the Police Officer has a gun. You fuck around with a Police Officer too
much you’ll get shot. If you fuck around
with a Real Martial Artist like Bruce Lee too much, you’ll get fucked up. You fuck around with a real motherfucka like 2pac
too much, you’ll get fucked up.
If
you fuck around with a goofball like Jackie Chan or Dave Chappelle, you will
live to breathe another day because they are like security guards, they don’t
have many tools to work with to get you under their full control. They can’t fight, they can’t do shit, their
weak as hell, they can’t hurt you if you’re stronger than them, so they allow
themselves to be bullied.

Niita'pitapiik! Be Fully Human!
When a young psychologist named Abraham Maslow visited the
Siksika Reserve here in Southern Alberta in 1938, he noticed that White
businessmen in the neighboring town of Glechien behaved extremely racist toward
Indians who visited their stores. Maslow asked some of the elders about this,
and what they told him was, “Ah, Maatomaitapitapiiyaa” (yes, they have yet to
become fully human). This was the harshest statement that Maslow was able to
record from residents of Siksika, speaking of other people either inside their
community or out. And their refusal to put others down in order to boost their
own egos would become one of the most defining traits among those Maslow would
later call ‘self-actualized’ people. In fact, the normative personality in the
community of Siksika became his primary model for self-actualization. He
estimated that as much as 85-90% of the residents had this quality of
psychological health that might only occur in 5% of mainstream Western society.
Maslow would spend the rest of his career trying to figure out what kind of
social environment is needed to produce full humans.
I have thoroughly researched the influence that the Siksika
community had on Abraham Maslow, because I think it’s a very important story,
since the ideas that were generated from this experience eventually changed the
face of American psychology, education, childrearing, and business management.
In the final analysis though, I think Maslow missed some important things that
were staring him in the face the whole while. One really key factor that never
figured into his models for developmental needs is connection to place. Because
he himself was an immigrant, a mover, it never dawned on him that maybe the
reason people at Siksika were so ego-secure, yet unwilling to put others down,
was that they were conscious of the fact that all of their ancestors had lived
right there, that they were all closely related themselves, like a big extended
family, that their children’s children would still live there, and that though
individuals might spend a few years here and there, almost all would eventually
return to the community, so that the people you know today will be those you
will live with for the rest of your life.
This connection to place/ big-family is extremely important,
and much overlooked. Western
society has precisely the opposite training, a conditioning for disconnection.
At a very young age, in the mainstream, you already know that the kids you’re
‘best friends’ with at school will have different life paths than you. What are
you going to be when you grow up? The answer is not supposed to be, “A more
complete human being.” Even year-to-year, the system ensures that you are
moving between places and people, that you’ll have different teachers, go to
different schools, be in classrooms with different age-mates. You are
discouraged from making tight bonds. Close friends in a class together will be
separated, because their alliance and their visiting is considered to be a
disruption. By the time you’re in high-school, you can’t wait for it to be
done, and then you’ll never have to see these people again. After that, you go to work, and there
make relationships with all new groups of strangers. But it’s very well
understood that these relationships are likely to be temporary. As soon as you
don’t like the work, or your boss doesn’t like your contributions, then the
relationship is broken, and you don’t deal with those people again. Children
are separated from parents and family, and from those of other ages. The
working-age people are separated from children and senior citizens. And all of
the relationships are disposable, even marriages. Yes, relationships do develop
and change, just like anything else, but it is not a universal experience that
you can just part ways. In an indigenous community, in a tribe, the people you
are here with today will always be here in your life, in whatever changed
capacity. The school kids in my community have teachers who are their aunts and
uncles. And nobody identifies by profession, “I am a this or that.” You say who
your relatives are when you’re introducing yourself. In this scenario, doesn’t
it make good sense not to talk shit about each other, be competitive, and build
identity and ego in negative opposition to each other?
Being completely immersed in the mainstream, Maslow couldn’t
see this, even though I think it’s crucial for completing any model of what it
takes to become fully human, enlightened, self-actualized, etc. I also think
this is the necessary key for hosting true diversity. Mainstream America
believes that it is currently diverse simply because it is a melting-pot of
people from cultures from all around the world. But in my opinion, all of these
factions have become simply micro-cultures to the homogenous mainstream that is
now fairly global in scope, thanks to the empire’s ongoing colonization/
conversion efforts. Every indigenous society ever encountered identified
themselves to the colonizers originally as The Humans. Who are you? We’re The
Human Beings. And then they had the shit terrorized out of them until they were
willing to claim some other identity. Really consider this though. If we can
work on identifying ourselves as Human Beings again, that’s an identity that is
defined in opposition not to other people, but to other species. And we don’t
have to look down on those other species. In fact, most real Human Beings hold
the other species in highest respect.
If we can identify as a Human Being – instead of a race, or color, or
occupation, or class, or whatever – and we develop a strong kinship-based
connection to place, then we’ll have the recipe for true diversity, because
other Human Beings in other places will naturally have their own ways, relative
to the ecology of the places they live. And we won’t feel we need to compete
with them, calling them down, in order to feel good about ourselves.
Of course, we have been compelled so far off this path, and rendered
so confused as a result, that I don’t know if we’ll ever witness many full
humans in our midst again.
Do You Promote Racism?
The
best way to promote racism and oppression is to hire minorities to do the dirty
work. Bruce Lee would not allow whites
to make fun of his race on screen, so let’s assassinate him and have Jackie
Chan make hundreds of movies poking fun at and humiliating his own race of
people. Having white officers beating
down the black man for no reason just looks too obvious, so let’s hire a bunch
of black sell out officers to beat down on the black man for us.
Having
Dave Chappelle orchestrate an assassination of his own race through comedy
sketches is made much more possible than having a white comedian doing the
same. Having Barak Obama set up laws
that turn against minorities creates much less conflict than having George Bush
do the same.
Just
like Malcolm X used to say, there are the field Negros and then there are the
house Negros. The house Negros are the
ones that get to live in the mansion and eat good food as long as they keep the
field negro’s in order. 2pac, Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr., and Malcolm X where field Negros fighting towards equality. Sell out black folks that oppress their own
race of people are house Negros, you see them all over the Police
Departments.
No
Asian will ever play the dominant respected role in Hollywood, they will just
not allow it. Almost any minority will
have their price. Pay a minority enough
money and he will oppress his own race.
The
black and white struggle is too obvious, it is not so simple. There are whites that will fight for
minorities to receive respect and there are minorities that will turn on their
own race. John Lennon was a white man
who fought for equality and peace just as how Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. did,
but as you see, they both got assassinated.
Bruce
Lee fought hard to get equal treatment in Hollywood for the Chinese, but he
mysteriously dies. Jackie Chan allows
for his race to be poked fun at and suppressed and he lives on to enjoy his
money and fame.
Eminem
is a white man who understands the minority struggle and fights hard with the
blacks to rise above oppression. But how
many white men are willing to do this?
How many white men are willing to give up their mansions and high paying
jobs to live on the poor streets with the minorities? How many minorities are willing to turn
against their own race in order to fit in with the majority? How many minorities are willing to become
white washed and ashamed of their own race and culture?
The
struggle continues, which side are you on?
Are you the oppressor, the bully, or are you the one fighting against
oppression? It is not about your skin
color, it is about what is in your heart.
You can have a black man that hates blacks with as much passion as the most
hateful Nazi or you can have a white man that fights against racism against
minorities as hard as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Dave Chappelle and Jackie Chan
Dave
Chappelle and Jackie Chan
The
way I view Jackie Chan may be similar to how many educated Blacks feel about
Dave Chappelle. Jackie Chan fucked up
the reputation of the Chinese and encourages the mass of society to continue on
with their racist behavior against the Chinese.
Many blacks have worked very hard towards equality and respect in
America but then Dave Chappelle comes along and makes all sorts of comedy sketches
poking fun at blacks to have the world laugh out loud about the stereotypical
black man. The educated blacks may then
be wondering, what the fuck are you doing Dave?
All
the other races are sitting back and laughing and wanting the entire thing to
continue on for their own entertainment.
But for the blacks, it is not something so simple, if you allow the mass
of society to sit back and laugh at your race, what are you promoting to be
reinforced? You are promoting and reinforcing
racism and stereotypes. That is the cost
of laughter. When you make one person
laugh by talking shit about another, the person laughing will be all smiles,
but the person being laughed at will be in fury.
Here
we had Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. work so hard towards equality and respect
towards blacks and then we have Dave Chappelle coming in and fucking up all the
hard work that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X worked so hard
for.
That
is how I view it with Jackie Chan. Bruce
Lee and Jet Li worked so hard to gain equality and respect in Hollywood but
then we have Jackie Chan coming in and fucking up all the hard work that they
did to gain respect and equal treatment in Hollywood.
Kung Fu Reputation
I
wish to protect the reputation of Kung Fu.
I don’t want it to be perceived like MMA, which is too violent, too
aggressive, too intimidating, too egoistic, too prideful, etc. But in the same token, I don’t want Jackie
Chan and fucking Jack Black representing Kung Fu. Kung Fu is not a joke but it is not overly
aggressive and violent, it is a balance, Kung Fu should simply be respected but
not feared. Bruce Lee and Jet Li represent
Kung Fu well. They worked very hard to
represent Kung Fu well. Jackie Chan
& Jack Black, fucked up all the hard work they have worked on and now I
have to rebuild it back up. It’s like
Bruce and Jet worked so hard to build nice looking sand castles and then Jackie
and Jack come in and fuck it all up. Now
I have to work very hard to re-build it back up again. A good reputation is hard to build but easy
to destroy.
Fuck Jackie Chan
Sometimes
in life we need to be serious. If you’re
not going to be serious about your training, when the fuck will you be serious?
I
take my training seriously, when it comes to training, I don’t fuck around, I
take care of business, I get done what I need to get done for those 2-4 hours
in the day. The rest of the day I can
relax and be more playful. That is my
balance of seriousness and playfulness.
The real Martial Artist is serious about his training, he doesn’t fuck
around, he’s more like Bruce Lee rather than fucking Jackie Chan.
Jackie
Chan is not a Martial Artist; he is a comedic stuntman posing as a Martial
Artist. Jackie Chan and this “Kung Fu
Panda” bullshit makes a mockery out of real Kung Fu and real Martial Arts. You don’t fuck around with a real Martial Artist;
he’ll fuck you up if you push it too far.
You don’t fuck around with a Police Officer; he will shoot and kill your
ass if you even give him the slightest reason that you are putting his life in
danger. People have been shot to death
for reaching in their pockets for a cell phone when the Officer thought he was
reaching for a gun.
Jackie
Chan is a fucking joke, fuck Jackie Chan, he has willingly allowed the entire
movie industry to make a mockery out of Kung Fu. Basically encouraging the mass of society to
laugh at and poke fun of the Chinese, which basically leads to further racism
against the Chinese. Jackie Chan is a
sell out piece of shit. He’s not a real
Martial Artist. Fuck him!

Beauty of Playing a Sport
When I am talking about sport now, I am not talking about combat sport. Combat Sport is the worst kind of sport humanity ever created. I do not care how you mumbo jumbo about how it is better than Basketball, Football, or Baseball; my mind is never going to change about it. Fighting is not a sport. A sport is a game. When you are really fighting, you are fighting to survive not to make yourself feel better because you knock someone out. Where is the honor in this? Money? Fame? Stupid Belt? Give me a break!
Anyway, today I was playing soccer with one of my old friends. We played with two strangers. I am pretty sure a lot of people do not play like we did. Basically the rules were like this: one person will be a goalkeeper. We were four so three of us will play against each other. The one who score will be the next goalie. It may seem to be professional but this type of game will enhance dribbling skills and defending skills at the same time. It may possibly train you to become a good goalkeeper. More importantly, the real benefit of playing soccer to me is this: good cardio. It has been a very long time since I was in a soccer field. I used to play when I was a teenager. Once I grew up, it was hard to find the time to do so. But now that I am here, I find really hard to not be tired when playing soccer. I get tired very easily. I begin to wonder if I am being a real martial artist here. A Martial Artist was supposed to be able to play without getting exhausted for a very long time! It is something I have to work on. I run every now and then but did not focus on sprinting very much. A martial artist who can sprint can survive. I even asked myself what if thugs were running after me just for the sake of bullying me. Would I just let them catch me because I got tired?? That is a real shame. I am not guilty about it but I do the necessity of being able to sprint as fast as you can a long distance for a very short time without huffing and puffing of course. Haha.
Now if I can sprint fast, my footwork in combat would greatly increase. Not only sprinting but I believe jump roping faster may actually help too. Another idea that pop out of my head is Parkour. I notice that if Parkour got really intense, it can challenge your cardio greatly. Moreover, it will increase your chances of survival against bullies on the streets too. If you would like to suggest some additional training tips for my feet speed I would gladly welcome them.

My Children and Martial Arts Training
I cannot
force my children to practice Martial Arts, that is against the Tao. If it comes natural, let it be, if it does
not, let it be. My children will have to
exercise, practice good hygiene, eat healthy, and sleep well. Those are necessities that they have no
choice in fulfilling. We live the
healthy way, so my children have no other choice but to follow. The fridge is only filled with healthy foods,
there is nothing else to eat. It is
either eat healthy or starve.
They
are forced to brush their teeth and take showers even when they don’t want to,
it is a necessity of health and wellness.
The lights go out at a certain time so they have no other choice but to
sleep when it is time. They exercise
because there simply is nothing else to do.
We have no cable TV to watch. We
have movies, but movies get old. They
play online games, but eventually they have to stop and move around. They want to go to the park to play, when
they go to the park, that is the beginning of their physical training. Even at home they are very active running and
playfully wrestling.
Activeness
is extremely important. The must be
active. But as far as formal exercise
training, like in the beginning stages of Martial Art training, I do not force
but I encourage. They know they will make
us happy when they participate, knowing this it encourages them to get
involved. I also notice that when other
children are around taking the training serious, they tend to get more
involved.
Brandon
loves playing XBox 360. We have an
agreement that if he practices Kung Fu for 1 hour, he can play Xbox, and this
agreement is working wonders. It really
motivates him to get involved with the training. Angelina naturally loves to train and does
not need video games as a motivation.
Brandon and Angelina enjoy spending time with me and that is what makes
them want to participate.
The
kwoon is also separated from our home, taking them to the kwoon creates a
separate environment that also motivates them.
Staying at home all day makes a child want to get out and be somewhere
new. The kwoon becomes a quick getaway
to do something exciting and different, this helps a great deal. Keo does get involved as well, but he is not
as motivated as Brandon and Angelina because he is still a bit young and does
not have as much energy as Brandon and Angelina. Jet is the only one that is unable to
participate in anyway because of his extreme lack of focus and attention
span.
I
see that it is very important not to force the children to learn Martial Arts;
they will learn when they are ready. If
they experience great struggle in life, it may encourage them to learn when
they wonder why they are having such a difficult time overcoming these
struggles. Sometimes it will take a
child getting bullied or beat up in school in order for him to realize that he
needs to take action and get started in something like Martial Arts to defend
himself when necessary.
It
is of absolute necessity that children learn to be healthy and nonviolent. If they are able to live a peaceful life, they
may never find a need to learn Martial Arts at all. But if they are surrounded by struggle and
conflict, Martial Art training may very well end up becoming a necessity. It depends on each child’s
circumstances. It is not right for a
parent to force a child to practice an Art that he does not enjoy.
If
he would rather play the drums or read, let him do so. But no matter what he chooses, he must find
time to exercise, that is something that I will always enforce, because him
refusing to do so is no other reason than just pure laziness. When a child is being lazy, you must teach

V for Vendetta
Now this is a really good comic book... Alan Moore, the creator of this one and the previously mentioned Watchmen, is regarded as one of the greatest comic book writers of all time and I am big fan of his work. His works were made into movies with more and less success, but I prefer the source material.
This one is my favorite and the movie is pretty good. A lot better than these summer blockbuster crap.
I strongly recommend it!

Zen stories
Ok guys, you obviously didn't understand my post about the clip history of mankind. It is not intended to be factual representation of history, but as a metaphor. You've fallen into the classical trap of seeking empirical solution like most of the society. You should watch as you were a child listening to fairy tales. Underneath all of the wizards, knights and dragons there's a moral of the story.
Same here... Don't take aliens, parallel dimensions too rigidly. It's like watching Matrix and getting pissed of because Keanu Reeves is dodging bullets, then you'll lose the whole point of the movie. This was just a creative way to describe the Fall of Man, and that's the topic you can find in almost every religion and philosophical texts. It is clear that humanity lived in harmony and then something got fucked up. This movie just gives some insights how it could have happened and what you can do to make it right. And if you are history buff like me, you can take these ideas, analyse it, incorporate into your research and create your own interpretation of history. Don't take anything for granted!
Anyway I'll share some of animated zen stories from the same channel... Enjoy!
