Summary: 5 Stars
[ Español ]
Para quienes buscan una perspectiva más profunda (y despojada de toda distorsión y mitología popular)sobre ¿qué es? y cómo entender en su justa proporción los orígenes de una rama importante del kung fu y como ella se entrelaza, nutre y moldea delicadamente con la pragmática visión ch'an, el contexto histórico, geográfico y religioso de la época, ésta obra es imperdible.
No hay legenda más grande, que la que el corazón de cada persona desee creer. Sin embargo, no hay leyenda más real que aquella que cada uno alcanza a comprender de corazón en su correcta dimensión, guiada por el conocimiento concreto de que sucedió, cómo sucedió y cuando sucedió; insuflada por el espíritu de más de 2000 años de historia.
[ English ]
For those who look for one a more deeper perspective (and undressed of all distortion and mythology popular) about what is? and how to understand in it's right proportion, the origins of an important branch of kung fu and as it interlaces itself, nourishes and molds delicately with the pragmatic ch'an vision, the historical, geographic context and religious of that time, this one work is imperdible.
There is no greater legend than, the one that each person heart wishes to believe. Nevertheless, there is no more real legend than, that than each one reaches to understand of heart in its correct dimension, guided by the concrete knowledge of which it happened, how it happened and when it happened; insufflated by the spirit of more than 2000 years of history.
