The human body is capable of achieving anything that we set our minds
to, and no group of people personify this belief better than Shaolin
monks. Shaolin monks are one of the most disciplined and spiritually
enlightened people in the world and their abilities as a result of this
physical and mental state are truly astounding. They can tolerate
extreme temperatures, run on planks of wood floating on water and can
pretty much contort their body in any way they see fit. This list
features 10 stunning pictures that showcase the abilities of these
monks:
Hard To Swallow
These monks have a high tolerance for pain and a tough exterior which
is why they are able to bend a weapon that would have gravely wounded
normal people.
Foot In Your Mouth
Having your foot in your mouth can be a bad thing unless you are a monk. Then it becomes an extraordinary feat.
