My
My name is Yanzeme I'm a photographer and I've lived
this year in China on a mission of the Meso
a Buddhist monastery with the Shaolin monks.
I wanted to get to know a very well-known culture.
Well, we met Shaolins from China, from television,
the famous movies of Bruce Lee.
But I asked myself,
who is really my warrior from where he comes and who lives there?
This is my ohai,
the originator of his gift.
I have been to the temple for nine years.
I wanted to be a great hero of the streets,
like the movies of Italian mafiosos.
The first years were tough for him,
but time adapted,
helped by a fundamental rule,
never looking back.
He told me,
you can be happy,
but when you are alone,
without your surroundings,
it will be a short-term happiness.
When in all these acts,
you make people happy,
you are happy.
When you are around,
you respond positively to the heart,
you start to be a great person.
When I asked him,
how do you see him out of the temple,
he told me,
I see a disorder,
I die,
I see a curiosity that has forgotten
what is really important in life.
And for me,
not only,
but for everyone,
the most important is love.
Love is love.
Love is love.
When I saw the children in the temple,
they asked me,
where do they come from?
Well,
they come from an orphanage,
from humble families,
from five to six years old.
When they arrive in the temple,
they leave their life outside.
They say,
they grow up with time,
a Buddhist name,
and they practice
all the days with love.
This is my car,
the original from Hong Kong.
I have been living in the temple for 13 years.
He came,
interested in Buddhism,
seeking a sense of life.
With the years,
he has become
a warrior monk
of the principles.
He told me,
without Chi,
there is no Kung Fu.
Chi is the basis of Kung Fu.
It is a spiritual practice.
It is the energy
and the feelings inside the body.
With practicing meditation,
you begin to feel the Chi
and you can control it.
It is a spiritual practice.
The Shaolin monks
not only train
by taking their physical activities
to the extreme,
but also practice
meditation daily
as a fundamental part
of learning.

The time has a different meaning in the temple, according to my experience, the time has disappeared.
The day begins very early in the morning, like between 4 or 5 in the morning, and as you begin to work with yourself, you never look at the clock.
Today I can say that part of this form of feeling the time has been given to me.
The time has a different meaning in the temple.
