Shaolin Institute,
presents Chinese New Year’s Eve Celebration Jan. 25, 2- 5:00 PM, 4359 Industrial Blvd, Studio A between South and North Berkeley RD
Life Intelligence University International (LIU International) is excited to celebrate the 2009 Chinese New Year (Year of the Ox) by presenting good will oriental health programs to the community. The LIU International will open his first public free class right after the celebration. This year of the Ox is an Obstinate Year. Legend has it that in ancient times, Buddha asked all the animals to meet him on Chinese New Year. Twelve came, and Buddha named a year after each one. He announced that the people born in each animal's year would have some of that animal's personality. Those born in ox years tend to be painters, engineers, and architects. They are stable, fearless, obstinate, hard-working and friendly. Jack Nicholson, Jane Fonda, Walt Disney, and Anthony Hopkins were all born in the year of the ox. Like the Ox, LIU International’s main principle is to strive for harmony among all peoples. We are committed to helping people develop and sustain healthy bodies and healthy minds so that they can be hard-working and fearlessly pursue their dreams of life with integrity and character.
