Silence the mind, awaken the nature within

At the foot of Mount Songshan, Shaolin Temple is world-renowned for its Zen wisdom and martial arts tradition. As the cradle of Zen Buddhism, Shaolin Temple is not only a center of Buddhist culture but also the birthplace of the integration of meditation and martial arts. In the 6th century, Bodhidharma brought Zen meditation here, establishing Shaolin Temple's central role in Zen Buddhism.


Shaolin Kung Fu is inseparable from Zen meditation. The incorporation of meditation into martial arts training allows for a combination of physical exercise and spiritual practice. Through meditation, monks maintain focus and calm during intense training, achieving harmony and unity of body and mind.


Shaolin Temple also preserves a unique concept of health and wellness, combining Zen meditation with traditional wellness practices. This wisdom of the "integration of Zen, martial arts, and healing" promotes not only physical health but also inner peace and balance. In today's fast-paced world, the Zen meditation and wellness practices of Shaolin Temple offer a path back to a more authentic way of life.
