Buddhists attach great importance to the protection of divine power belief in the process of practice. Willing to believe is an important embodiment of Shaolin kung fu belief. It was formed during the prevalence of the Wonderful Lotus Sutra in the Tang Dynasty, and has continued to this day. It has gone through three stages: the belief in avalokitesvara, Nryana's belief in the divine power of King Kong and Kinnaro Wang Li. Shaolin Kung Fu believes that the Lord God is King Jinnaluo. Shaolin Temple has King Jinnaluo Temple.
The soul of Shaolin Kung Fu is the wisdom belief of Zen Buddhism. The original form of Shaolin Kung Fu wisdom belief is meditation. In the 6th century AD, the Indian monk Dharma first preached the teaching method of Zen in Shaolin Temple, which was later revered as the ancestral home of Zen. After Zen Buddhism was introduced into China, it was the result of full communication and understanding between Indian Buddhist culture and China metaphysics culture. It is the crystallization of the fusion of two ancient civilizations in the East, and it is full of oriental wisdom. The appearance of Zen changed the face of death and suffering of Buddhism into an affirmation of the joy of human life. Zen Buddhism embodies the experience and understanding of the mystery of the universe and the true meaning of life by the elite group composed of eminent monks and outstanding scholars in China. Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, due to the prevalence of Zen teaching method and the status of Shaolin Temple as the founder, the belief content and quality of Shaolin Kungfu have also changed, and "the integration of Zen and Wushu" has become the mainstream thought of Shaolin Kungfu and the goal and ideal realm for monks to cultivate Shaolin Kungfu.
Zen pays attention to practice in real daily life and realizes the goal of learning Buddhism. Shaolin kungfu, as an indispensable part of Shaolin monks' daily life, is also included in the form of learning Buddhism and practicing Zen. The main body of practicing Shaolin Kung Fu is the Zen master, who carries out martial arts incisively and vividly with his Zen mind and is fearless in his heart, showing the great wisdom and courage of Shaolin Kung Fu inheritors. Zen gives Shaolin Kung Fu richer content, which makes Shaolin Kung Fu present a unique relaxed, comfortable and deified realm. Wushu endows Zen with an effective way of practice, and makes the wonderful understanding of Zen have practical experience.
