Shaolin Page #3

She's not dead.

- She can't see anything anymore!

- She's not dead!

She's not dead, you understand!?

The one who should be dead is you!

Shengnan.

Mama is sorry.

She can't be dead.

She's not dead.

Save her!

You speak of compassion!

How could you just watch her die!?

Fine! Don't save her!

I will kill each and every last one of you.

I'll start with this damned old man.

- Sir!

- I'll kill you all!

I'll kill you all!

Sir!

Kill you all!

Sir!

Restrain him!

I'll kill you all!

I'm going to kill you all...

Leave Shaolin, stay at Shaolin...

Leave Shaolin, stay at Shaolin...

Leave Shaolin, stay at Shaolin...

Leave Shaolin, stay at Shaolin...

Leave Shaolin, stay at Shaolin...

Leave Shaolin...

This one doesn't count.

Leave Shaolin, stay at Shaolin...

Leave Shaolin...

Is anyone there!?

I set a trap for pigs, how come a man is here?

What are you up to, covered in blood?

I know you, you are that Hou Jie.

You still want to kill people?

When a man is without common sense

is when they are worse than pigs.

Given you're in this situation, best lie still.

Don't howl.

Relax a bit, I'll be back later.

Amitabha.

Hey, something to eat.

Careful, it's hot.

Cool on the outside, hot on the inside.

Why has it come to this?

Why?

Your wife has left Shaolin.

Your daughter's funeral has been left to you.

Will it be a burial or cremation?

The Abbot asked me to ask you.

With burials, you can see them on holidays.

But who can really see them?

I guess you can dig them out but that's not easy either.

I think cremation is more convenient.

You can see them anytime and take them with you if you move.

To where ever you go.

I think cremation is better.

What do you think?

If its cremation...

Then after you've finished your noodles,

we'll go light the fire.

Take all this and burn it!

So you'd rather die than submit?

At least I'll see Brother in the afterlife.

Fire!

When you were being hunted...

It was Big Brother who saved you.

Who would have thought...

You'd repay his kindness with hatred!

What is kindness?

He didn't save me, he used me.

I've known that for a long time now,

he needed me.

In battle, it was I that killed the most people.

Was there a bit of land I didn't help him conquer?

Then why did I betray Hou Jie?

Answer correctly and I will spare you.

Because...

You are a dog!

Wrong answer.

I betrayed him, because he was afraid.

With fear, comes defeat.

He deserved this.

Now begins my reign.

You understand?

The streets are filled with them,

everywhere with wanted posters.

Actually, it's the same whoever captures you.

Anyway, I've to make rice for you again.

Otherwise, I'll have made fifty thousand silvers now.

[ WANTED:
Hou Jie ]

[ REWARD:
Ten thousand silvers ]

Eh? It's now a hundred thousand.

Just kidding.

Shaolin temple preaches compassion,

I wouldn't do that to you.

So what now?

I don't want to leave.

You can't treat this place as your home.

What's this?

Throwing a tantrum?

Made up your mind?

Want some help?

- Brother.

- Brother.

There is suddenly a lot more rice in the kitchens.

How did this happen?

A lot more rice?

Oh! Our prayers have been answered!

Amitabha, amitabha, amitabha.

Then you better ask Buddha...

Why there are shadow men jumping

about on the rooftops at night?

Shadow men?

How can there be shadow men

at the temple?

They came to steal the rice.

It's to steal the rice back here,

not steal the rice.

All involved present to the training grounds

after morning lessons for your punishment!

Yes, Elder Brother.

You again!

What the hell do you want?

Amitabha.

Master.

Abbot, I want to stay at Shaolin.

That's not for you to decide.

You are now wanted.

Isn't so you can avoid capture?

I've decided to become a monk.

Shaolin will not become your battlefield,

The decision is not yours to make.

Return to whence you came.

Did the Abbot not say once,

"Buddha sends the fated"?

Who says you are fated?

Master.

You'll only receive his body,

you won't receive his heart.

His sins are great.

He is a warlord, Master.

Master, a person like him will

sully the name of Shaolin Temple.

There is the essence of Buddha in all.

We should not discriminate.

Everything is empty,

only fate is with substance.

His heart is full of hatred and revenge,

it will not receive the enlightenment.

Well said.

But we cannot deny the teachings

of Buddha by closing the way.

Nor can we, if we tried.

Troublesome is the Bodhi,

since understanding is confusing.

The old ways are dying.

I think, we should let him stay for now.

The Abbot has dumped you on me again?

But being in Shaolin is alright.

Out there, it's a dog eat dog world.

Wait outside.

New Baldy, it's cold, wear this.

Off to work!

- Amitabha!

- Morning.

[ Asiatorrents Wan Sui! ]

[ Malvinh Wan Sui! ]

Mantous are here! Make way!

Make way! Mantous are here!

Line up! Line up!

Thank you.

Not so hard, eh?

Not hard.

Don't push, don't push.

Plenty, plenty.

Strike without the fist being seen.

Not the way if it is.

Practice to the Way.

Actions are fluid.

Move with feeling.

Know the fine.

Awaken to the Zen.

Quickly bring the wooden container

to hold the food!

Okay.

Hey.

Have you practised before?

What?

- Kungfu

- Kungfu?

Truth is, when I was younger I trained for two years.

But like you, my heart was not focused.

So I worked in the kitchen.

You want to learn,

learn the Dharma.

Dharma.

Faced the wall for nine years.

What was he refining?

The heart.

Without conflict, gained wisdom

from every inch of his body.

The thoughts from his hair

is as the hair on our head.

This level is called the Zen Wu.

Let's practise together.

Fists and heart as one.

Elbows and knees as one.

Shoulders and hips as one.

Heart and mind as one.

Mind and breath as one.

Breath and strength as one.

Practise to the Way.

Actions are fluid.

Move with feeling.

Know the fine.

Awaken to the Zen.

Stay strong!

They're hopping down, we're squatting down.

Both ways build strength.

Straighten up!

Hold down this meridian.

It'll be alright.

You go now, go.

For you.

The weather is cold,

why are you not inside resting?

Precisely because it is cold,

I am here practising.

Are you cold?

A little.

Then practice with me.

Okay.

Abbot, his form is a bit off.

From the heart it follows,

from thoughts give rise.

He is fine as he is.

In practising martial arts,

the vengeance in his heart is released.

I do not practise martial arts,

this I do not understand.

Practising martial arts is Zen,

cooking is also Zen.

The principles are roughly the same.

Wudao, the most important things in

life are experience and practise.

I've said it many times.

Leave Shaolin Temple,

go see the world outside.

All I know is how to cook.

Out there, I'm of no use.

I'm not going.

A piece of gold and a pile of dirt.

Which has more use?

I guess the piece of gold.

And if I gave you a seed?

Don't sell yourself short.

Everyone is useful in their own way.
