Curriculum includes traditional Shaolin fist and weapons forms, Shaolin wellness exercises (qigong) and Chan (Zen) meditation.

Hello from Shaolin Temple

Shaolin Temple USA Executive Director Master Shi Yanran led a group of students through a unique journey in Buddhist traditions and Shaolin Kung Fu at Songshan Shaolin Temple late June, 2011. The groups also took up the challenge of scaling the heights to Bodhidharma Cave and Sanhuang Camp on the majestic Songshan, or Zhongyue, the “Middle Mountain” located at the center among China’s five famous sacred mountains. The group paid homage to the Venerable Shaolin Abbot Shi Yongxin, joined the monks at their daily early morning sutra recitation session, dined with them at their vegetarian breakfast and lunch. Kung Fu lessons took place at Shaolin Temple and in the mountain where Shaolin warrior monks train. The journey’s experience was heightened by the enchanting Chan Music Shaolin Grand Ceremony with natural Songshan scenery as backdrop.
