Test your might • Shaolin Spirit | Shi Heng Yi

(TEDx Talks) TEDxBaiaMare, Nov. 29, 2022. This speech leaves us asking ourselves many questions. We must own our life! "Life doesn't get any easier. You get stronger!"

Master Shi Heng Yi (释恒義) is the headmaster of the Shaolin Temple Europe (歐洲少林寺).

He functions as the physical and mental trainer of Buddhist novices, disciples, and master students of a European Shaolin Buddhist monastery in Otterberg, Germany.

What if I got a weekly TV show of my own?

His endeavor and goal is to explain and convey theoretical principles in an understandable way and above all to make this knowledge tangible and practical in daily life. In this way it is usable for people.

For more than 30 years, Sifu (pronounced \shee-foo\ or "Master") Shi Heng Yi has been studying and practicing the interaction between mind and body. His strength is his ability to smoothly combine knowledge with physical exercises to practice the martial arts of Kung Fu and Qi Gong.

He has an academic background but prefers to live at Shaolin Temple Europe, a German Buddhist monastery in Otterberg.

Since 2010 he has been caring for the settlement and personifies the sustainable development and spreading of Shaolin culture and philosophy. As a contemporary Buddhist monk, Master Yi holds a smartphone in the folds of his clothes as he sees no contradiction between living together with ancient knowledge and modern technology.

“The universal law of being successful and happy at the same time means finding the balance,” says Master Yi.
