"Learn to live a life like there was no choice. That's freedom" - Shi Heng Yi.

Interview (in English with a summary of each question in Spanish) with Shaolin Master Shi Heng Yi about the Shaolin Spirit: self-mastery, life-mastery, self-discipline, freedom, Shaolin virtues, building a solid spirit, unstoppable attitude, love, compassion, forgiveness, and enjoying life as it is. It's a conversation about improving your character, creating the best version of yourself, connecting as one and becoming one with everything.
