Shaolin Kung fu’s Indian Connection
Aditi Shah

February 20th 2019

With movie stars such as Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan as brand ambassadors, the art of kung fu has wide appeal across the world. But far from its celluloid avatar, kung fu (an umbrella term for Chinese martial arts) calls on its practitioners to harness their mental energy in ways that take unusual patience, discipline and many years to master.
How amazing is it that one of the oldest forms of kung fu, Shaolin Kung Fu, and the Shaolin Temple itself, owe their origins to two Indian monks. Or so it is believed.

It is said that around 1,500 years ago, a dhyana master hailing from northern India, Buddhabhadra, travelled to China to preach Buddhism. The Chinese called him ‘Batuo’ and the ruling Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty ( 386 to 534 CE ) built a monastery to host this teacher. This monastery was the Shaolin Temple, built in 495 CE in the jungles atop Mt Song in China’s Henan Province. Thus, Batuo was the first abbot of Shaolin.

About 30 years later, another monk, Bodhidharma from Southern India, made his way to China and laid the foundations of Shaolin kung fu. According to Indian tradition, he is believed to be the third son of a Pallava king from Kanchipuram who renounced royal life and adopted Buddhism. The Chinese called him ‘Damo’.
As the popular legend goes, he was welcomed by Emperor Wu of Liang but a dispute between them over Buddhist doctrine forced Damo to seek refuge at the Shaolin Temple. Here, he found the monks involved in some highly ritualistic and extravagantly religious practices. They were absorbed in the scholarly exploration of Buddhism, a form that was not followed by Damo, who believed that the philosophy was to be experienced rather than read and recited.

But when he set out to instruct them on his rigorous meditation techniques, which he thought to be the key to enlightenment, he realised that the monks’ poor health prevented them from focusing their attention as required. As a result, he devised a series of exercises to help strengthen their bodies and minds.
Damo wrote these down in a manual called Yijin Jing (Muscle Rehabilitation Classic) and had no idea that he was actually laying the foundation of what was to become famous as Shaolin kung fu. In addition, this form of Buddhism is said to have been the basis of what was later called Chan (or Zen in Japanese) Buddhism, and Damo is considered to be its First Patriarch.

However, this is just a popular legend with no concrete evidence to support the claim. The idea that Bodhidharma is the founder of Shaolin kung fu is based on a qigong (a form of Chinese exercise practice) manual written during the 17th century. The first of two prefaces of the manual traces this qigong style's succession from Bodhidharma to the Chinese General Li Jing via ‘a chain of Buddhist saints and martial heroes’. But this work is littered with errors and absurdities, once even including a character from Chinese fiction, the ‘Qiuran Ke’ as a lineage master, and cannot be taken as a legitimate source.

Also, the Japanese consider Bodhidharma to be a Persian-Central Asian who came to Shaolin in the 6th century CE. He is depicted in Buddhist art as an ill-tempered, profusely bearded and wide-eyed person.

But the theory that Bodhidharma was a South Indian could also have some truth if he belonged to a royal family. This would have given him access to training in fighting. Also, Kalaripayattu, a South Indian martial art form that originated in present-day Kerala and Tamil Nadu, traces its origin to the Sangam era (3rd century BC to 2nd century CE).

(CNN)At least 20 Indian soldiers have died after a "violent face-off" with Chinese troops along the countries' de facto border in the Himalayas late Monday, the Indian army has said.
The incident occurred during a "deescalation process" underway in the Galwan Valley in the disputed Aksai Chin-Ladakh area, where a large troop build-up has reportedly been taking place for weeks now on both sides of the border, before senior military commanders began talks earlier this month.
The Indian army had earlier said three soldiers had died, but added on Tuesday that a further 17 troops "who were critically injured in the line of duty at the standoff location and exposed to sub-zero temperatures in the high altitude terrain have succumbed to their injuries."

Furious hand-to-hand fighting raged across the Galwan river valley for over eight hours on Monday night, as People’s Liberation Army assault teams armed with iron rods as well as batons wrapped in barbed wire hunted down and slaughtered troops of the 16 Bihar Regiment, a senior government official familiar with the debriefing of survivors at hospitals in Leh has told News18.

The savage combat, with few parallels in the history of modern armies, is confirmed to have claimed the lives of at least 23 Indian soldiers, including 16 Bihar’s commanding officer, Colonel Santosh Babu, many because of protracted exposure to sub-zero temperatures the Indian Army said late on Tuesday.



“Even unarmed men who fled into the hillsides were hunted down and killed,” one officer said. “The dead include men who jumped into the Galwan river in a desperate effort to escape.”

SEEMS TO BE THE KILLING OF THE INDIANS DONE IN VENGENCE FOR WHAT THE INDIANS CARRIED OUT ON THE CHINESE IN THE FIRST PLACE.
NO SYMPATHIES TO THE INDIANS.

THE INDIANS PROBABLY CAUSED THE FIGHT IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Weeks of tension at several points along the Sino-Indian border broke into deadly clashes this week in Eastern Ladakh’s Galwan Valley area. Alongside an unknown number of Chinese casualties, at least 20 Indian troops were killed in a major brawl between the two sides. Although details of the incident, which took place on Monday night, remain closely guarded, the deaths mark the first along this border in at least 45 years. The intensity of the violence is the most serious going back to at least 1967.

The violent clash, which early Indian reports suggested did not involve the use of any firearms, took place just days after reports in the Indian media suggested that the two sides had come to an agreement on a partial disengagement and had moved their armed forces back at several points along the border. According to the Indian Army, the clash took place during what was described as a “de-escalation process” in the Galwan Valley area.

“During de-escalation process underway in Galwan Valley, a violent face-off took place yesterday night with casualties,” the Indian Army noted in an initial statement. “The loss of lives on the Indian side includes an officer and two soldiers. Senior military officials of the two sides are currently meeting,” the statement continued. The statement was later amended to note casualties on “both sides.”

Hours later, a second Indian Army statement revised the death toll on the Indian side up to 20, citing environmental factors. The second statement, released Tuesday night, noted that 17 Indian personnel that had been injured in the initial clash and had been “exposed to sub-zero temperatures in the high altitude terrain” and “have succumbed to their injuries.” It’s unclear if the death toll on the Indian side may still grow.
