O'Neal visits Chinese Shaolin Temple

Do you watch NBA games often?If you do, you must know O'Neal,a very talented big boy who is also quite amused .
Martial arts have been an interest of Shaquille O'Neal, and he paid an emotional visit Monday to the Shaolin Temple in Henan province.
"I've been a lot of places but being at the Shaolin Temple has brought a tear to my eye. Buddha blessed," the NBA superstar center wrote on his blog.O'Neal said visiting the temple, birthplace of Zen Buddhism, was not on his China tour schedule, but he could not resist the temptation.
He was able to meet Shi Yongxin, abbot of the temple, and spent time discussing Zen (a school of Mahayana Buddhism, translated from the Chinese word Chan).Zen is believed to be the wisdom behind Shaolin and what makes Shaolin Kungfu unique and powerful.
After that, O'Neal watched kungfu performances by the monk and was impressed with the Snake Style and Drunken Style.
It is very interesting to see a 200 pounds big man learning Kungfu.However, such a big man is also very nimble and quick.I appreciate his perfornmance on the playground .I am a fan of L.A and i like O'Neal’s teamate---Kobe crazily.I have a collection of lanyards every of which is marked with images of different NBA teams on. The new season of NBA will come soon and i am looking forward to watching it!
O'Neal promised to come back and spend more time to learn Zen and Shaolin Kungfu.And we can see his progress in Kungfu in the future!That must be very interesting!
