Here are some more information for Eight Immortals:
The secret of Heaven is a mysterious one and it cannot be revealed unless under certain conditions. Even in life, there are also certain secrets that cannot be revealed between husband and wife or between any two parties. There are Three Heavenly Secrets that cannot be bought by money but by affinity. Any person who sincerely looks for it will find it or it will come to him when the time is right.
There are three treasures in Heaven: the sun, moon and stars; three treasures on earth: water, fire and wind; and three treasures in human: vitality, internal energy and the spirit. The three Heavenly secrets are: the Mysterious Door, Heart Sutra and Heavenly Seal. What are they and how can they help us? This is the explanation from Heaven:
1] Mysterious Door: This is the place where our souls stay. This is also the door that allows our souls to enter and leave our bodies. It is the path that leads us back to Heaven.
Confucius said, "The place of utmost perfection where our true self resides." Sakyamuni Buddha said, "The Great Dharma and the blissful state of mind that is hidden in the eye." Lao Tzu said, "The gate of the mysterious force and the root of Heaven and earth."
The mysterious door is the root of Heaven, Earth and Human. This is the Heavenly secret which is not easily transmitted since ancient time. Those who attain it can transcend from mortality to immortality. Those who cultivate can attain Sainthood and Buddhahood.
It was said, "Once the mysterious door is opened, Yama (king of Hell) will not come after us. Our names will be removed from Hell and registered in Heaven. The realization of the true self allows us to escape from the 'San Jie' (The three planes: the plane of Desires, the plane of Form and the plane of Formless) and we will be able to break off from Yama. The mysterious door is a priceless treasure. Once it is discovered, it will lead to Heaven."
The mysterious door cannot be disclosed because it is a Heavenly secret. In the teachings of Tao of Heaven, it is called The Third Eye, The Divine Eye, The Dot or The Right Portal. Ancient Saints, Sages, Immortals and Buddhas had acquired this mysterious door but they cannot disclose it and can only leave behind certain sayings as follows:
Goddess of Mercy: "Look within ourselves in the bamboo grove and realize the hidden meaning of the vase and the willow branches. The Bodhisattva always stays in the grove of the valley. Do not leave it for any moment if we want to abide by the Truth."
Buddhist Scriptures: "Do not seek for Buddha at far away places because Buddha is just within ourselves; although Heaven is far away, but once we realize the truth, Heaven is right in front of us."
Jesus Christ: "Those who did not carry their own cross and follow me, cannot be my disciples."
All these quotations mentioned above are proofs of the mysterious door. This is the most important of the Three Heavenly Treasures. They left hints in their books of teachings and scriptures, so that cultivators seeking the Truth can be enlightened. In short, the mysterious door is also called Tao and to understand the meaning between Tao and the 'Cross' (crucifix) kindly refer to my website under the page 'Cross and Tao' where Jesus Christ manifested to show us the relationship between 'Cross and Tao' by using a piece of A4 paper. Words cannot explain the Truth or Tao and if it can be explained then it is not the Truth or Tao.
2] Heart Sutra: The Heart Sutra cannot be found in any holy books or sutras. It can only be revealed in the Temple of Tao of Heaven under the protection of the Saints, Sages, Immortals and Buddhas. During the Green Period (5,000 years ago), the Heart Sutra was "Wu Liang Shou Fo." Whereas in the Red Period (during the time of Sakyamuni Buddha), it was "Nan Wu Er Mi Tuo Fo." Presently is the White Period (Maitreya Buddha) or the final stage the heart sutra comprised of five words. The first word represents the Heavenly World (Void). The second word represents the Spiritual World. The third word represents Earth. The fourth and fifth words when joined together represent Maitreya Buddha. This Heart Sutra is also called The Divine Mantra. In time of danger between life and death, when this Heart Sutra is chanted silently, Heaven will send help to save the person or the calamity from happening. This is equivalent to the call of S.O.S.
Heaven said, "When we recite the Heart Sutra, deities will respect and the ghosts will be startled. Bodhisattva will arrive upon hearing this sutra of the Three Worlds (Heavenly world, Spiritual or Celestial world and Earthly world)."
3] Heavenly Seal: It is the way that devotees of Tao of Heaven hold their hands that symbolized that they are children of God. The holding of the hands comprised of two Chinese words "Hai Zi" meaning "Child" and this is what Jesus Christ said, "I will tell you the truth that unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of Heaven."
The three precious treasures are the secrets of Heaven and cannot be revealed except in the temple of Tao of Heaven under certain conditions. This is what God (Lao Mu) said, "The spaceless golden lock, the spaceless pagoda, the spaceless key opens this lock. The priceless true treasure shines bright after the enlightened teacher's guidance gives grace that has no equal. Point to your Right Portal, your two windows can be cleared; hold on to your Right Portal, your two eyes will be clam; open the Right Portal, shine the eyes; concentrate on your Right Portal, you can get rid of the human nature, bring out the true nature and reveal your divine wisdom. Unite the true self and life into one; you'll realize the mystic nature of the Right Portal."

T.A Chew, initially cannot believe that there are secrets in Heaven but through time it slowly becomes clear that not all human beings can have what they want, even from Heaven if they pray very hard and cry. Money cannot buy the secret from Heaven, it is only affinity. Website: http://www.white-sun.com
It's All About Immortality
The concept of surviving in bodily or religious mode for an a boundless time frame may be called immortality or eternal life. It isn't however established whether or not immortality is definitely an feasible status, as immortality is the complete opposite of mortality that is not dying.
A number of scientists reckon that immortality is possible in the initial few decades of twenty-first century. You will find many theories and beliefs about perpetuity. Back again there are numerous classifications like Physical immortality, biological immortality, technological immortality and spiritual immortality. Every classification specifies immortality in its own fashion. Even so, they actually establish great hope in human thoughts.
Biological death is actually degeneration of cellular material and tissue that's because of aging. If only all these challenges may be circumvented, immortality could possibly be accomplished and so they try to develop their own tactics for the same. It was observed that mice which are genetically engineered to create ten times the enzyme telomerase than the regular level outlived 50 % longer. One can find quite a few natural substances and synthetic chemical substances synthesized that can significantly enhance the life span such as reserveratrol, as in the event of mice test.
It is not yet been tried with people. Technological immortality will be the prospects for an extended life which is getting created scientifically in various fields like nanotechnology, genetics, microbiology, biological engineering, regenerative medicines etc. Total vitality is the promise of those life extension materials and technology.
Almost all religions meet to the stage of after life as being a key tenet. However when it comes to immortality of soul their ideas are divergent. Loss of life takes place as a consequence of aging, disease and shock. If spiritually these things could be transacted immortality is attainable. Faith healing is just one such miracle to help longevity.
Many religious faith features a likeness in the after life and resurrection, leading to everlasting life with God. Thus Judaism, Christianity and Islamism trust this, along with minor alterations here and there. Christianity preaches that death is but a relaxation like slumber till the Day of Judgment, while God shows up pronounces the judgment for taking the righteous with Him to Heaven. As the evil are demolished forever in Christian faith, Roman Catholics and the Muslims believe that a take on life is given in a separate place to allow them to correct and get back to eternity.
Hinduism believes in reincarnation right after death and pleads so the soul is immortal In accordance with Hinduism, people repeat an activity of life, death, and rebirth in a cycle. Should they live their life properly, their Karma improves and their next life will be in higher strata, however if it's anything else their life will be downgraded. Eventually following numerous life times of refining karma, the soul is freed from the rebirth cycle and resides in endless happiness.
Host of medical, philosophical and religious issues other than moral concerns are increasingly being brought up regarding clinical immortality just like the aspect of character over time, technological know-how of copy the mind and the respective method, cultural and economic disparities created by longevity etc. With all said and done there is nothing concrete and believable as far as immortality is concerned.

Does anyone teach Eight Drunken Immortals kung fu in the Pittsburgh area?
I was walking around here and ended up talking to someone who studied Shaolin martial arts, and she remarked how her husband's sifu knew the Eight Drunken Immortals, and I just wanted to know if anyone knew of him or anyone else in the Pittsburgh area that would teach the style. I am sixteen with no prior martial arts experience, but I have wanted to study this style since I was about six and I have extreme dedication to stuff like this...so if anyone knows anything or can give me some information, please do not hesitate to respond or even send me a private message. Thank you all...
beggers cannot be choosers, we can only take what is offered.
in otherwords find the school that fits what you wish to learn, if you wish to learn drunken kung fu just because it is cool to say you know some then that alone is not a good enough reason
as some GENERAL guidelines that apply in the majority of schools:
if you want to do some cardio, take a TKD class
if you want to meet some people and get a good workout, do a karate or tai chi class
if you want to train for MMA, do muay thai or BJJ or judo
if you want to train self defense, do some kung fu
but no matter the style it ALL depends on the instructor. you could have an awful "kung fu teacher", or a really great TKD instructor
so my answer to you is, probably not since drunken kung fu is probably impossible to find anywhere other than china, in which it would cost you ungodly amounts of money anyway
go to google maps and type in your area "Pittsburgh, USA"
then click advanced options to the right of the search box
then on the pull down tab next to the search box and click "Find Businesses"
then type in Kung fu
