The martial lineage

 




Some kind of "esoteric Buddhism" I never heard about before, apparently connected to Qigong. Or purported esoteric Buddhism, but never mind. The idea is that you can leave samsara and achieve enlightenment and immortality by identifying with the vital force (prana or qi). Or at least conditional immortality, since in this system, you apparently "die" after a billion years or so. Unless you merge with Brahman before that!

Or you can become some kind of martial arts master in this life...

The first video is the best one. The second is pretty eclectic, with the actual lecture starting at the six minutes mark. 

Also mentions Bodhidharma, Shaolin, and such.
