These monks aren’t just known for their meditation or green tea. Shaolin monks can do incredible acts of strength that are considered impossible to achieve. Shaolin monks are capable of doing absolutely crazy things with their bodies. Shaolin monks can break concrete, wood, and even metal rods with any part of their body.

Some monks are able to withstand unbelievable conditions like staying alive in a pot of boiling oil and even literal shots to the groin. Of course, you are not here to see that.

Well, there are many practices that a Shaolin monk must adopt before becoming a master. They must devote their mind, body, and years of lives in order to have this insane amount of endurance that we have come to know them for. They start training from a very young age in order to develop their skills and discipline themselves in order to take on their strongest form.

Shaolin monks punch their fingers on trees to make them durable. Then they instantly transition to doing push-ups on them to progress their strength training and also while increasing their endurance. This is coupled with regular meditation to further help condition the young monks. After they reach a certain age, Shaolin monks will become skilled masters in their disciplines with crazy abilities, able to endure crazy amounts of punishments while pushing themselves to their very limits.

There is an important philosophy that traveling monks adhere to which is the concept of Qi. Qi is the life force of all living things and Shaolin monks believe that it resonates through everything. Although you can find mentions of Qi throughout Chinese culture, the Shaolin monks know it as a concentration of energy. It’s this concentration of energy that lets Shaolin monks dip into their spiritual potential, letting them harness their inner strength which is why they can perform such courageously. It is this form of inner strength and courage that Shaolin monks seek to enhance with relentless meditation and devotion to one’s discipline. This is something we all can learn from stoic Shaolin monks.
