NORTH SHAOLIN TEMPLE
The Shaolin
Temple is known all over the world for its Kung Fu training and Buddhist
teachings. However the world is yet to discover that another Temple is
preserving this tradition in new ways.
The North
Shaolin Temple, a sub-temple to the Shaolin Temple Monastery, has a 900 year
old history which is almost completely unknown outside the Shaolin tradition.
The Temple’s resident monks are trying to preserve its tradition but with much
of the Temple’s records and spiritual artefacts were destroyed since its first
construction in 1312, they face an uphill struggle to bring the Temple back to
its former glory.
This
documentary introduces the history of this Temple and its current teachings. It
reveals how the Temple’s monks are rebuilding its forgotten legacy by
protecting the ancient Shaolin teachings, where Buddhism is lived through kung
fu training. It also reveals how the Temple is developing its heritage by
opening its doors to new community of students from around the world.

Fundraising 5K Run
On 24th
March Katie and Michelle ran a 5K run in Ringwood for our charity. Both ladies
started at the back of the field and overtook many runners to come in mid field
and also beat their personal bests. It was a very cold day and spectators
shivered at the finish line waiting for them to run home and wearing their
bright pink tops and hats, it wasn't hard to miss them! Thank you to both
ladies for their training and competing in aid of our charity.
