The Mulligan Brothers Podcast talks to the inspirational Shi Heng Yi to discuss his life as a Shaolin Temple headmaster. Born and raised in Germany, Shi was fascinated with many martial arts movies at a young age, this spiked his interest in martial arts. Therefore, at 4 Shi was enrolled by his father into the nearby Shaolin Temple Europe in Kaiserslautern, Germany. This is where he fell in love with practising martial arts, training took over his life, committing time to the temple from 4pm until 10pm. His parents imagined him to become a doctor, engineer or lawyer whilst growing up, but Shi, even after an MBA and multiple diplomas, wasn’t satisfied with education. Education, he believed, taught him a lot, but not very much about himself. Comparatively, at the monastery he learnt a lot about self-exploration, and self-discovery fulfilled him from such a young age. Consequently, from February 1987 Shi served as the headmaster of Shaolin Temple Europe. Shi teaches mental and spiritual development, and his purpose is to spread the ancient knowledge inherited from centuries ago to the modern world. He talks to us about his childhood, the importance of structure, freedom of our own minds and the real benefits of hard work. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
