Established more than 1,500 years ago and home to some 3,000 monks, the Shaolin Monastery lies nestled in the misty, mountainous jungles of central China. One of China’s most important pilgrimage destinations, this world famous monastery is renowned for its age-old tradition of practicing both Zen Buddhism and martial arts. Founded by the Indian monk Buddhabhadra (known as Ba Tuo in China), the monastery became known for its warrior monks.
