Shaolin spirit is the way of the warrior monk
Who trains his body and mind to be strong and calm
He follows the path of Chan Buddhism and martial arts
And seeks to balance wisdom and strength in his heart

He rises early with the sound of the gong
And joins his brothers in the morning song
He practices kung fu and qi gong with devotion
And learns the secrets of attack and motion

He respects his masters and honors his ancestors
And worships the Buddhas of wisdom and power
He lives a simple life of discipline and virtue
And strives to overcome his ego and desire

He faces the challenges of life with courage and grace
And never gives up or loses his faith
He cultivates compassion and harmony for all beings
And shares the spirit of Shaolin with his teachings
