Detail InformationEdit

The Shaolin Monastery or Shaolin Temple is a Chan Buddhist temple at Song Shan, near Zhengzhou City, Henan Province in Dengfeng, China. It is led by Venerable abbot Shi Yǒngxìn. Founded in the 5th century, the monastery is long famous for its association with Chinese martial arts and particularly with Shaolin Kung Fu, and it is the Mahayana Buddhist monastery perhaps best known to the Western World.
The Shaolin Monastery and its famed Pagoda Forest were inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2010 as part of the “Historic Monuments of Dengfeng.”
The shao in “Shaolin” refers to Mount Shaoshi , one of the seven mountains forming the Songshan mountain range; it is on this mountain the Temple is situated. The word lín means “forest”. The word si means “monastery/temple”. The late Master Chang Dsu Yao incorrectly translated “Shaolin” as “young (new) forest” or sometimes “little forest”. This newer translation is commonly accepted today.
