Even though this is a Pepsi commercial the Chinese culture is involved, like the way shoaling monks train and their everyday life. They usually wake up at 5:30 am to begin chanting and at 6:00 am to eat their breakfast, it consist of soup made of beans then they chant again after they finish they start training two hours of Kung Fu. Monks are an example of a person who is pure of spiritual energy and due high levels of Kung Fu. While in a interview a shoaling monk was asked “are there still great Kung Fu masters at the temple today, as we heard about the legends in the history of temples?” He answered “ masters are not as powerful today due to the electrical signals such as wi-fi, satellite, radio, television, and ect. As a result masters are 15 percent less powerful than in ancient times”(Stacey Nemour). Due to the media the influence of masters in this time period is not as powerful as it was in ancient times because people want to see them the way the media portrays them. He also mentioned to advance in our daily path in life we need to “ love. Don’t be selfish. Do daily acts of kindness. Be nice. Pray a lot. Practice a lot. With practice comes wisdom. Wisdom brings advancement each day. And pain brings growth. that’s how we learn” (Stacey Nemour). Monks are not only spiritual people but also very wise with the teachings of life and how to keep it balanced.
