Shaolin culture has been in the world more than 1600 yeas and it contains within it many traditions from philosophical to physical. One of its most renowned is Shaolin Kung Fu. Kung Fu's original purpose of was to improve the wellbeing of its monks. Although more importantly, it was used to express the wisdom of Ch'an in a physical form.
Other
influences on the Shaolin culture is the wider Chinese culture. A sincere
comprehension of Shaolin culture therefore also requires the study of Ch'an and
Chinese culture and history.
Shaolin
culture was passed down from dedicated warrior monks through generations of
disciples. Now, the UK Shaolin Temple wishes to continue this tradition in the
UK. We do this in order to preserve this unique culture and also allow for more
people to learn and develop from their teachings.
