How Shaolin Temple looked like in the early 20th century <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n

Shaolin Temple is now essentially a museum.<\/p>\n\n

But there was a cave to which 1000 sacred steps lead. The small Damo cave in Songshan Mountain (\u677e\u5c71) above the monastery in 530 CE became the meditation site of the Chan (\u7985) (or Zen) Patriarch Bodhidharma. Nine years without water and food in a tiny stone monastery, facing the wall. <\/p>\n\n

And it\u2019s not a fairy tale, nor is it a beautiful story. This is the birth of the Buddhist truth that the Indian monk brought with him. Bodhidharma preached that its foundation lay in practicing meditation and awakening the Buddha within oneself, rather than in reading and memorizing sutras. Through prolonged meditation, he convinced us that Buddha is in every person, but often hidden under a cloak of passions, habits, and social norms. One can become a Buddha without many rebirths, just by removing these layers by taming the spirit and nurturing the body. It turns out that it was for this purpose that Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty (386-557) built a temple whose name means \u201ctemple in the dense mountains of Shaoshi\u201d.<\/p>\n\n

  • a school for transmitting Bodhidharma performances to the world of selected students,<\/li>
  • successor to the knowledge of meditation,<\/li>
  • the birthplace of physical health<\/li>
  • the center of the emergence of kung fu and the development of martial arts. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n

    Over the centuries, recognized martial artists came to Shaolin for improvement and inspiration, who themselves learned excerpts and strategies from the monks and taught them new techniques. Chinese kung fu arose in the Shaolin Meditation Temple, a unique alloy of the techniques of almost all martial arts and Chan (Zen). Meditation cleansed the mind, kung fu built the body and completed meditation.<\/p>\n\n

    The martial prowess of the Shaolin monks reached its heyday in the 13-16 century, under the rector Fuyu. At that time, about 800 monks lived and preached in the Temple. At that time, the traditional Shaolin trials were introduced and the counting of the generations of the monks of Fahao (\u6cd5\u53f7, f\u01ceh\u00e0o)<\/p>\n\n

    The Decline and the New Shaolin Revival<\/h2>\n\n

    During the period of the Chinese Republic and the struggle against dissent 1911-1949, Shaolin fell into disrepair. Most of the ancient buildings and precious collections were burned, and the teachings of the monks to their disciples was all but the law.\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n

    The worst time\nhowever, it came after 1949. Only 16 people left\nthe innermost basics of kung fu and meditation. Only strength of mind and faith, as well as\nthe conviction that knowledge and skill accumulated by generations should not\ndisappeared, helped the monks to survive and preserve a solid centuries-old culture. <\/p>\n\n

    In the early 80s\nof 20th Century Government of the Republic of China issues a series of revival orders\nreligious life, and the second heyday of Shaolin began. This was also facilitated by access to the screens of the world.\nseveral films relatively reliably conveying the history of Shaolin\nTemple, and the increased popularity of oriental martial arts.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
