Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Still Mind, Strong Body

Legend has it that centuries ago, a Buddhist monk named Bodhidharma traveled to China, attained enlightenment, then introduced Shaolin monks to a highly disciplined way of life. Regardless of its origin, this practice of daily meditation produces a mental state that makes people capable of extreme physical feats. The Shaolin Warriors translate these skills into the theatrical production “Voices of the Masters.” A loose storyline of four scenes depicts a young boy on his journey to become proficient in kung fu, weaponry and the ability to resist pain. With incredible speed, accuracy and dramatic flair, the elder monks show him the way.
