Also very informative and inspiring are the lyrics to breathing, Chan Buddhism and other basic information of medicine and philosophy.
The only thing that is strange somehow that there are actually only 7 brocades in this book. The last, eighth exercise is loud book a series of seven exercises described above in each one breath.
I think this book is a beautiful additions to titles such as "The Shaolin Workout" (Sifu Shi Yan Ming) or "Shaolin Chi Kung: Energy in Motion" (Shi Xinggui).
