I think what he meant by that was depending on how you define superhuman, the answer can cause a lot of confusion. We've seen many different kinds of monks have abilities that seem like they shouldn't be possible, like extra hardened skin, the ability to produce more force than an average person with minimal movement, etc. Weather or not there's a supernatural element to what they call chi, can be hard to say for certain. The lines between supernatural and skillful can be blurred when we talk about what monks are capable of, so I can see why they'd want to avoid questions like these that could potentially make their answers seem inconsistent and unreliable.

Years ago, as a teen, I had a older distant relative who’s a monk. He wore the traditional orange Buddhist gown and his personality was like Master Yandi, but more open and wholesome. His life was very different. Not only you can’t marry, but cannot touch kids or women. I remember my younger cousins would run to him with hugs and questions, he would just be cautious and avoid physical contact; literally raising his hands from others. It was definitely weird at first, but it was an interesting experience to see how it all worked.

[@donovandaniel1206]

@@cyberninjadad I think self preservation is a bad way to put it. It’s more about inner-self. Like truly being you at your most basic yet whole level. To truly reach inner peace, yea it seems selfish because you try to avoid others but that’s not really self preservation that’s just survival to maintain peace. Isolation with yourself to truly be yourself kinda, if any of my interpretation of Buddhism (not that every Buddhist thinks this way or is a monk but still) make sense.

[@cyberninjadad]

@@donovandaniel1206 I appreciate the thought, but what you said about survival and inner peace is synonymous with what I mentioned about self preservation. When I explained how my monk relative established himself into Buddhism, ideally, women and kids can be a distraction and could be factors of leading life into stress. It’s important to note that Monks are trained to keep themselves having the least amount of stress as much as possible. Which was why I said about preserving, though it’s fine with however you interpret it.

I like the fact that the question he enjoys the most are the most philosophic ones. When we think about Shaolin Monks, most of us think about kung-fu first. But we forget that before being good fighters, they are scholars. They train their heart and their minds as much as their bodies and each monk has their preferences and specialities. They seek some kind of enlightenment.

[@geo9167]

Monks are so calmful

[@bloodandguts5931]

@Fishy Vagina They're objectively good fighters. Not sure what standard you're measuring them on.

[@bloodandguts5931]

@Fishy Vagina No, I measure it by the fact that these Shaolin monks can probably beat more than 99% of the population in a fight. Or 95, but whatever, same point. That makes them objectively good fighters. You don't have to be the best of the best to be considered good at something. A good college basketball player may get rekt in the NBA, but they're still considered good basketball players.

[@logtguy8822]

@Fishy Vagina I don't think they specifically do fight training tho. I think the quote on quote, "fight training" they do is mostly not actual martial training to fight in a real situation. In history, the reason shaolin monks do kung fu was because of fitness because monks back then didn't exercise making them weak. It is the same with tai chi because who the hell in their right mind would practice yoga while fighting against street thugs? But really, it mostly matters on who the monk is. When you're in a real fight situation, you would forget all fight training you are going through, meaning that you would just do basic strikes. I believe that basic strikes are still effective in fact more effective than fancy dances.

[@logtguy8822]

@Antares Not necessarily. Shaolin monks are more on meditation and breaking limits, rather than fighting alone. Fighting is different compared to what you think it's like. It's hard to stay calm in a fight even for a shaolin monk. And not everybody's a fair player in fights.
