Meet Shaolin Master Shi Heng Yi in his serene talk about self-discovery. Learn why rainfall is an essential part of each flowering. And every small step – part of the journey to the highest peek. The hindrances along the way to self-discovery and personal growth are easy to overcome. Learn how from his talk. For more than 30 years, Master Shi Heng Yi has been studying and practicing the interaction between mind and body. His strength is the ability to smoothly combine this knowledge with physical exercises and to practice Martial art –Kung Fu and Qi Gong. He has an academic background but he prefers to live at the Shaolin Temple Europe, Monastery located in Otterberg, Germany. Since 2010 he has been taking care of the settlement and he personifies the sustainable development and spreading the Shaolin culture and philosophy. As a contemporary monk, Master Yi holds a smartphone in the folds of his clothes as he sees no contradiction between living together with ancient knowledge and high technology. “The universal law of being successful and happy at the same time means finding the balance”, says master Yi. And as for flying – yes, he really can do it! He only needs a stick and a little space. We expect him to fly-in and share about the Shaolin way at TEDxVitosha 2020.

Apparently, when you're a Shaolin monk, awesome music emanates from the surroundings whenever you speak.

Dude doesn't even say "um." He knows what he is going to say and is confident about it. Clarity rings true within.

I am from a poor & developing country, people said that I never have a chance to study abroad because I don't have enough resources but I manage to save money and apply to learn Master degree in US with financial aid program. And finally I get the US Visa for studying. There are people happy for me but there are still people keep telling me I am nothing, I could not climb that high mountain. There are still many challenges ahead, sometimes I am scared but I still keep going. Be strong to discover the world.

He never said “um” or “so,” any other filler words/sounds. Amazing.

What a beautiful message at the end "see you at the peak'. Kind words from a wise soul.

I got panic when I saw the clock kept running and he only got 3 mins left while he was not finishing. Seriously, I got super anxious and worried. But seeing him being so calm makes me realize that my anxiety is what I need to deal with. And his strong mind really says something about the stability of oneself, being mindful and calm even when others are pushing us

School teaches you lessons, then gives you a test.. Life gives you a test, which teaches you a lesson.

I swear, Shaolin monks look like most peaceful and most deadly people at the same time.

5 障礙 1. 感官慾望（快樂和分心） 2.惡意（消極思想） 3.身心懶散（缺乏活力，缺乏動力） 4. 不安（擔心未來或後悔過去，無法停留在當下） 5. Skeptical 懷疑（優柔寡斷）這些障礙中的每一個都在您的腦海中籠罩著一片烏雲。解決方案：調整和安排您的生活，以防止出現這些障礙。消除這些障礙的 4 個步驟 1. 認清（你的心態） 2. 接受（接受並允許情況和人保持現狀/現狀） 3. 調查（你的情緒和精神狀態）——“為什麼會出現？” “如果我一直保持那種狀態，會有什麼後果？” 4. 不認同（練習“我不是身體，我不是頭腦，我不是我的情緒，我只能看到關於我的所有這三個方面”）

He is like Bruce Lee, just without jokes to buy public attention. Straight to the point without any nonsense. Respecting the viewer knowing that true value sells itself.
